The Hiding Place
by Corrie ten Boom
I remember reading this book in school. It is a profoundly moving memoir that chronicles the author’s experiences during World War II. Corrie, along with her family, were devout Christians who risked their lives by hiding Jews from the Nazis in their home in the Netherlands. While they were incredibly brave, they were eventually arrested and imprisoned in concentration camps.
This book is more than a historical story, it is a moving tale of the power of faith, forgiveness, and resilience in the face of pure evil. Corrie’s storytelling is vivid, heartfelt, and honest. She successfully captures the horrors of the Holocaust while sharing the enduring hope that sustained her and her family.
Rated: 3.75/5.0–Overall – I was inspired by Corrie’s choice of love and forgiveness over hatred. Her ability to forgive her captors and the lessons she shares about the human spirit are humbling.
