ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Hiding Place" by Corrie ten Boom, with Elizabeth and John Sherrill, tells the true story of the Ten Boom family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. It follows Corrie, her sister Betsie, and their father as they become involved in the Dutch underground, hiding Jewish refugees in their home. The family faces constant danger and eventually is arrested and sent to concentration camps. The book explores themes of faith, courage, love, and forgiveness, highlighting the family's unwavering devotion to God and their commitment to helping others even in the darkest circumstances. The story shares the sisters' experiences in the camps, the horrors and dehumanization they faced, and the strength they found in their faith and each other, particularly through their hidden Bible.
