Based on the best-selling memoir of a family that hid Jewish families during the Holocaust, this dramatic video fills the screen with one of the most extraordinary stories of the horror of World War II. The Hiding Place traces the lives of Corrie ten Boom, her father and sister Betsie. It begins prior to the outbreak of the war, and continues through the Dutch family's heroic work in the "Underground," when they sheltered countless Jewish families from Adolph Hitler's dreaded SS troops. The ten Booms are arrested when the hiding place is discovered, and imprisoned in one of Nazi Germany's most notorious concentration camps. There, they face the greatest test of their faith and their commitment to love mankind--even their enemies. Your students will be moved by this powerful story.
