The Hiding Place is Corrie ten Boom’s personal story of faith, courage, forgiveness, and love for the persecuted Jewish community during the World War II Nazi invasion and occupation of Holland.

Part of an underground resistance movement, Corrie and her family risked their lives to hide Jewish friends within a secret wall space of the Beje, their beloved clock shop and home in Haarlem, Netherlands. Led by the convictions of her Christian faith, her heroic actions eventually led to her arrest and imprisonment at Ravensbr�ck, the German Reich’s largest concentration camp for women.

For the first time, the ten Boom family’s heart-wrenching story of spirituality, hope, sacrifice, and survival is presented as a special edition complete with:

Rare family photos
Accents of Dutch Delft–style design
Beautiful artwork by Dutch artists
Photographs of personal ephemera

Hand-lettered inspirational quotes and Scripture combined with illustrations reminiscent of World War II Europe make The Hiding Place come alive like never before.

From the Back Cover

Corrie ten Boom (1892–1983) is considered a hero of the Christian faith. She and her family risked their lives to save an estimated 800 Jews and refugees from the German gestapo during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. Corrie, who began her adult life working in her father’s clock shop, was involved in an underground resistance movement during the war that eventually led to her imprisonment at Ravensbr�ck, a German concentration camp for women. Corrie’s classic work, The Hiding Place, is a testament to her faith and has inspired millions of readers around the world.

Visitors to Haarlem, Netherlands, can visit and tour the ten Booms’ home, also known as the Beje. The 1600s Dutch-style house, which is west of Amsterdam, sheltered three generations of the ten Boom family. The Beje features the actual hiding place, family photos, and artifacts from World War II.
