The Hiding Place: The Triumphant True Story of Corrie Ten Boom
Overview & Summary
Corrie ten Boom's memoir recounts how her devoutly Christian Dutch family hid Jewish refugees in a secret room built into their home during the Nazi occupation, until they were betrayed, arrested, and sent to concentration camps, where Corrie's sister Betsie died. Corrie herself survived Ravensbrück and went on to travel the world preaching forgiveness -- even, famously, to a former camp guard. It is one of the most widely read Christian testimonies of the Holocaust.
