Product Description
An amazing story of faith amidst the horrors of the Holocaust, The Hiding Place has a richly-deserved place among the Christian classics. In this autobiographical account, Corrie ten Boom tells of her familys attempt to save Dutch Jews from a Nazi roundup - until their efforts were discovered and the entire family sent to a concentration camp. Her father and sister would die in captivity, but Corrie would survive to write, preach, and personally share the story of Gods love and forgiveness - even to her former Nazi captors! Now in a deluxe collectors edition, this unabridged classic will thrill readers of all ages.

 Average Read.... January 9, 2009
I am not sure whether half of the stories narrated are really true. The transformation from a frustrated small-town religious bigot to an "underground" heroine seems rather far-fetched. Too good to be true and please stop proselytizing; Jesus can be loved without being a Christian and those who don't beleive that are the biggest fools on earth!
 Believe in the love of Jesus and miracles in the midst of horror. December 20, 2008
Story is a little slow at first but once it gets going..... Wow! What the Nazi's did to people is beyond inhumane. The real important part of the story is the woman writing it and her sister. Their love and devotion to Jesus in the most hideous circumstances proves Jesus overcomes all. What a miracle!
 An opinion on The Hiding Place November 8, 2008
I would recommend this book to everyone especially in todays' political climiate. This book is a definite keeper for the family library.
 Bad Copy! October 9, 2008
Great book, but not a great copy. Countless errors include, dropped words, name errors, and misprinted words.
What about the Bibelforscher? September 9, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
While the story of the ten Boom family is valuable for its portrayal of courage and integrity, I was astonished that Corrie ten Boom makes no reference to others imprisoned in Ravenbruck for their faith. She, in fact, was considered a political prisoner because of the ration cards, and defiance of laws regarding the Jews. But in fact, there were hundreds of women in Ravensbruck, known as Bibelforscher, (which in German means "Bible students,") who had been there far longer. This fact was testified to by Genevieve deGaulle, neice of Charles deGaulle, who was also in Ravenbruck for French undergound activity. It is proper to recognize those few members of the churches who defied Hitler, but about ten thousand Bibelforscher were imprisoned throughout the war, while thousands more remained largely underground, though their numbers doubled during the war years. Hitler had banned the Bibelforscher in 1934 because of their forthright and vocally public opposition to the Nazi party, and by 1938 they composed about 15% of the concentration camp population. Perhaps the reason they are ignored is because they are today known as Jehovah's Witnesses.
