The account of a Dutch girl growing up in Nazi-occupied Holland and her family who helped hide Jewish people. The account of a Dutch girl growing up in Nazi-occupied Holland & her family who helped hide Jewish people. Corrie Ten Boom stood naked with her older sister Betsie, watching a concentration camp matron beating a prisoner."Oh, the poor woman," Corrie cried."Yes. May God forgive her," Betsie replied. And, once again, Corrie realized that it was for the souls of the brutal Nazi guards that her sister prayed. Here is a book aglow with the glory of God and the courage of a quiet Christian spinster whose life was transformed by it. A story of Christ's message and the courageous woman who listened and lived to pass it along -- with joy and triumph!

Review of 'The hiding place' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

This book is a religious tract disguised as a memoir - not that this is a bad thing. It is still a very interesting (and heartbreaking) read. The author's resiliency is nothing short of amazing, and the fact that she gives all of the credit to God is inspiring. It certainly makes one wonder if people of the current generation were forced to face similar adversity, would they handle it with the same courage and poise?
