The Hiding Place (film)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hiding Place is a 1975 film based on the autobiographical book of the same name by Corrie ten Boom recounting her and her family's experiences before and during their imprisonment in a Nazi concentration camp during the Holocaust in World War II. As the Nazis invaded Holland, Corrie and her family allow several Jewish friends to hide in their home. However, the Nazis soon discover that Corrie and her family are hiding Jews, and the family and their friends are arrested. Corrie's father dies before he reaches the concentration camp, and Corrie worries that she will never see her home again. The Nazis send Corrie and her sister to a concentration camp for hiding Jews in their home. At the concentration camp, Corrie encourages her sister to remain hopeful that God will rescue them from the brutalities they experience. With little food and constant work, the women suffer constantly, and Corrie's sister, played by Julie Harris, dies. Ultimately, Corrie, played by Jeanette Clift George, leaves the camp through what is discovered later to be a clerical error. Her life after this ordeal was dedicated to showing that the love of Jesus is greater than the deepest pit into which humankind finds itself. The Hiding Place was directed by James F Collier.
