3.0 out of 5 stars A milder account
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...

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.
