In wartime Holland, Corrie ten Boom and her family of watchmakers quietly sheltered Jews in their small house—until Nazis discovered their “crime” and arrested them all. This is the gripping, true story of Corrie and her sister’s endurance in the horrors of the Ravensbruck death camp, and their sure hope that God is the true hiding place.

We don’t know what is ahead of us in the near future but we do know that hatred is growing in our country and that is exactly what brought in this evil era. This movie will give you hope that even in the most terrible time’s life can throw at you, Christ will not leave you nor forsake you and you can put your trust in Him.
I just love this movie! As you watch this film, you get how the Ten Boom family are all devoted to God and to His words. Their lives reflected this scripture: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13)
When I first started this movie, I wasn’t sure I was going to like it. I loved it! This movie is based on a true story. Corrie ten Boom and her family helped the Jews during the Holocaust. They built a secret room in their home. When they were caught, they were sent to prison. Papa ten Boom died in prison, but Corrie and her sister Betsie went to a work camp. They were forced to work and were beaten if they were to slow at their jobs. Betsie was so Christ-like. She would pray for the Nazi’s and she would talk about Christ to all the other workers. She had such a positive attitude and never lost hope. She would look the blue sky and be filled with gratitude. Corrie struggled a little more, but she also had faith. They held on to God and he was there with them. I think that this story should be told far and wide. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to watch the next one. The Return to the Hiding Place.
