The Hiding Place proves that the light of God's love can penetrate even the darkest recesses of despair, places like the Nazi extermination camp at Ravensbruck. After protecting Dutch Jews in a secret room in their home, Corrie ten Boom, her sister and father were discovered, arrested, and imprisoned. Only Corrie survived, but her faith in God remained strong-so strong that, after the war, she could forgive a former camp guard in a face-to-face meeting. More than just a spellbinding adventure, The Hiding Place is a life-changing story.

When I read this book I was comletely inthralled. I could hardly put it down. I read it again just to know exactly what corrie ten boom went through. I reccomend this book to everyone!

Okay, so maybe it isn't the most riveting book on the planet, and maybe the writing isn't all that great, and maybe the foreshadowing is a little much, but give me a break. Any survivor's account of the holocaust is worth your time. The more we understand, the better people we are, and the more we honor those who have taken the time to share their pain with us. I first read this book as a school assignment, and have re-read it serveral times since, just because of the respect I have for Ms. Ten Boom. And those of you who commented on the horrors of life in prison camps...if this is the only Holocaust book you have read, you have no idea. Hiding Place is very, very mild compared to most of the others. For a real understanding, try visiting Auschwitz yourself...I have, and I will forever be changed by the experience. One more thing...I definitely recommend Jane Yolen's Briar Rose, not a true account, but a moving story nonetheless.
