The Hiding Place: The Triumphant True Story of Corrie Ten Boom

Corrie ten Boom used to chuckle at the notion that there would ever be a tale to tell. She had experienced nothing unusual at all for the first fifty years of her life. She worked as an old woman watchmaker and lived happily in the little Dutch home above their store with her spinster sister and their aging father. Their enduring affection for one another centered their routine days, which were as ordered as their own timepieces. But a tale did emerge with the Nazi invasion and occupation of Holland.

Leading the Dutch Underground, Corrie ten Boom and her family helped Jews from the Nazis by concealing them in a specially constructed chamber inside their house. All except Corrie perished in a concentration camp as a result of their assistance. Their tale is told in The Hiding Place.
