mymble 's review for:
The Hiding Place
by Corrie ten Boom
I think the absolute reality of it all shakes me. I've been trying to read this ever since I was little but I just couldn't bring myself to do so since I cried every time something bad happened, I'm relieved and grateful to have finally finished.
This book is simply beautiful and terrifying, the suffering was depicted in a vague manner yet the fear in everyone was hauntingly vivid. I might never stop crying about the bravery of both the old and the youth Jews during those dark times, of the families who risked their lives to protect others. I mourn Kik, who was a brave young man, I wish he had been given more time, God bless his soul.
It's a given that I want to visit the Beje someday where it proudly stands in Haarlem. To be in the very room of the hiding place would break me for sure, but I would also revel in its greatness.
