Return to the Hiding Place

Wonderful book for those interested in WWII, holocaust, and the Corrie ten Boom story. I've read all her books and learned new things reading this book by the ten Boom's first "guest".

During the Nazi occupation of Holland there was a quiet family of watchmakers, the ten Boons. When they saw the evil of the Nazi regiem they decided to do what there Christian fiath required of them to hide those who were being hunted. They hid eight people (7 I believe were Jewish) as a result when the ten Booms were captured by the Nazi's the elderly father died, the two daughter's ended up in Buchenwald concentration camp. The eldest Betsey died at the camp, but her younger sister Corrie was released due to a clerical error. She went on to bring healing to the lives of many people, including her persecuters. This book tells the story from the eyes of one of the young men hidden by the ten Booms. He tells life from his perspective. Out of the eight people hidden by the ten Booms only one died during the war. The Nazi's did not find them in "The Hiding Place" ( a hidden room in Corrie ten Booms closet) but after they were moved to safe houses some of them were raided. This is a tale of courage, faith, and conviction. The story of some unlikly heroes from the perspective of the people they helped. Enjoy!!!
