Corrie and her family lived in the Netherlands in the time of the Holocaust where they owned a build and repair shop for watches. She had two sisters named Betsie and Nollie, and one brother named Willem. Her father did most of the work with the watch shop, and her mother died when she was a little girl.

“We must tell people, Corrie. We must tell them what we learned,” said Betsie. The Hiding Place, by Corrie ten Boom, is the biography of a woman in Holland during the Holocaust. The book starts out in 1937, in Haarlem, Holland. Corrie and her family were Christians who hid Jews from persecution by the German soldiers. Corrie was forced to make decisions and take actions all throughout different periods in her life. When her mother fell ill, she learned to care for someone who couldn’t do anything for her. During the time when the family was hiding the Jews, she was forced to be brave and strong. Finally, when her family was taken to the concentration camps, Corrie, with the help of her sister

Jews have perished because of their beliefs since the beginning of time but never have so many Jews been persecuted worldwide as they were in World War II. Anne Frank’s diary reaches a place within all of our hearts because it reminds us how easily the innocents can suffer. Sometimes we may choose to close our eyes or look the other way when unjustifiable things happen in our society and Anne’s tale reminds us that ignorance, in part, claimed her life. Sadly, her story is but one of many of those who died in the Holocaust and as with other Jews, her fate was determined by the country she lived in, her sex and her age.

Among the on million of the children killed was Anne Frank. Anne was a Jewish, teenage, girl who's family went into hiding. They stayed hidden for over two years in their Secret Annex. Over the course of these two years, she kept a dairy that has now been published. Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl had been translated into over 60 languages and is read and studdied world-wide. She began the dairy at age thirteen and wrote her last entree at age fifteen. The majority of her diary talks about her time spent in the Secret Annex which was the back part of a spice warehouse owned by her father previous to the Neurenburg Race Laws. The Franks lived with another family, the Van Dann's, and another man named Dussel. On August 4, 1944 German officers stormed the Annex and arrested all families. They were then taken to a transfer camp called Westerbork. They spent roughly one month there before being moved to Auschwitz, a consentration camp. Once off the train men, women, and childern were all separated. That was the last time Anne saw her Father, Mr. Van Dann, Dussel, or Peter. This is when the dehumanization began. People working the camps strped them of glasses, jewlery, shoes, and anything else that made them a individual. In addition to this the Nazi cut their hair and put them all in uniforms so tthey all looked the same. After anther month of

People can only imagine the terrors that the Jews and other ethnic groups had to go through during the Holocaust in World War II. With Anne Frank’s diary, people can finally put themselves into the scene and captivate all the feelings and sentiments that Anne Frank has poured onto the pages. Anne Frank, her family, and their friends were known for hiding from the German Nazis in the Secret Annex for two years from 1942-1944. Innocent and naive,

The Hiding Place is on Corrie ten Boom, her family, and how they assisted the Jews when Germany invaded Holland during World War II. The characters of importance are Corrie, her older sisters Betsie and Nollie, her older brother Willem, and their father, Casper ten Boom, frequently referred to as Opa by his family and friends. The story begins in January of 1937, in Haarlem, Holland. Germany invades during the beginning of World War II, the German soldiers and Adolf Hitler 's goal was the extermination of Jews. Forced to wear a yellow star on their shirt to show they were of Jewish decent and risking captivity by the German soldier issues b simply walking around town was an everyday. This, among other intolerance against the Jewish people, enraged Corrie and her family. If one was caught helping in any way to hide a Jew, they also were taken captive. Corrie and her family did not care. Her father once said, "I 'd consider it an honor to give my life for just one of God 's chosen people." In addition, some of Corrie 's dear acquaintances were of Jewish decent. She wanted nothing but to keep them away from harm, whatever the consequences.

She tells of when she first helped, and what she did later on to save hundreds of jews from the concentration camps; and became the Leader of the dutch anti-Nazi underground. But, in doing this selfless act of kindness, she is taken to jail and later a concentration camp; Two of her family members being lost on the way. After release, Corrie set up a holocaust Survivor rehab center, and even spoke to Rubble reduced Germany and their citizens to give them hope once more. This book is inspiring to me because it shows how much a little help can change somebody’s life for the better. It also shows the importance of helping people and giving them hope. The book also shows the hardships people face while trying to the right thing in a place ruled by fear with an iron fist; being brought out with the brutality and hatred the Nazis showed toward the prisoners in both the Jails and the Concentration camps. The book also shows the importance of doing the right thing, even if you have to break the rules a little. Ten boom wrote a thoroughly entertaining book from beginning to end, and told her story of helping the people in need of her assistance. Once I picked up the book, I could not put it down without reluctance; and read it until i had to be told to stop. It truly radiates kindness and compassion towards others, and telling those in need those hopeful words to help them keep

Corrie ten Boom's 1971 book The Hiding Place told the story of an evangelical Christian family in Holland that was involved in Resistance work against the Nazi occupation, including the concealment of Jews from the Nazis. The Ten Boom family had always been sympathetic to Jews long before the rise of Hitler and the Nazi state, and regarded them as a Chosen People who would always have a special place in God's plans. They were arrested by the Gestapo in 1944, and Corrie's father, brother, sister and nephew all died at the hands of the Nazis, although they never found the hiding place of the Jews in their house. In Ravensbruck concentration camp, Corrie and her sister also vowed that they would travel the world as Christian missionaries after the war, describing how their faith in Christ sustained them even under the worst circumstances imaginable. Betsie died in the camp in December 1944, shortly before Corrie was released due to an administrative error, although she believed it was certainly a miracle and act of divine intervention that had saved her from death. She kept her promise, and spent the rest of her life traveling the world as an evangelical missionary, often associated with Billy Graham.

The holocaust, beginning in January 1933 until May 1945, was the prosecution of over six million Jews in Germany. The Nazi's, who came into power in 1933, truly believed that the Germans were 'racially superior', and that the Jews were a threat to their community. By the end of the holocaust, the Nazi's had killed almost two out of every three jews as part of their 'final solution'. Millions of Jews went into hiding during these disastrous years, in particular the Frank family. Annelies Frank, along with her family have one of the most terrifying yet truly incredible stories from the holocaust event.

On February 28 of 1944, all the members in the ten Boom household were arrested for their acts of hiding and deporting Jews. Besides the ten Boom family, twenty-nine others were arrested. That day, their house had been raided, but no Jews or evidence was found. Corrie was fifty-three at this time (Popson 46). Once in jail, Corrie was known as the ringleader because she spoke up to protect her father. This act put her into solitary confinement. Soon, a nurse working at the jail secretly gave Corrie scripture to read in her cell . Soon after the arrest, Corrie’s family was released except for her father, herself and her sister, Betsie (47). After just nine days in

The Holocaust was a brutal time for the Jews living throughout the European continent. During this time, many Jews were hauled off to work camps. As a result, many Jewish families went into hiding; residing in the homes and offices of those Europeans who opposed Hitler’s ideas to kill the Jews. In the book Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank, Otto Frank leads the two families, the Franks and the Van Daans into the secret Annex. Otto rescued the Annex members by being brave, caring, and responsible.

The Jews that the Ten Booms were hiding had made it to the secret room in time and were well hidden. Even though the Gestapo did not find the hiding place Corrie, her father Casper, and her sister Betsie were taken to prison. Her father, who was 84 at the time, died after ten days in the Scheveningen prison. Corrie and Betsie spent 10 months in three different prisons, the last of which was Ravensbruck Concentration Camp near Berlin. Betsie died at Ravensbruck, but Corrie lived and got of the Concentration Camp to tell her story. While Corrie was in Ravensbruck, she never gave into despair. When people would fight for their own survival, she would give her life for them. In the harshness of the camps Corrie would always pray for other people and give them hope. One quote from her shows her faith toward God, “There is no pit so deep that God’s love is not deeper still.” This was quote was amazing because of what she endured in the death camps. After the end of the German Occupation, Corrie was let out and later became a missionary to tell her story, and how she forgave the people from the Concentration Camps, even the Nazi who killed her

Corrie Ten Boom exemplified the characteristics of a visionary leader through her inspirational motivation in the Dutch underground resistance against Nazi Germany. Corrie witnessed the Jewish oppression at the hands of the Nazis and rejected it (Straub, 1992). One night, a Jewish woman went to Corrie and asked for help and Corrie agreed. Soon, Corrie became an active part of the Dutch underground resistance and worked to save the Jews (Ten Boom, 2006). Here, Corrie used her gift of inspirational motivation to inspire and motivate others to join the resistance or support the effort by providing food ration cards, supplies, or safe passage for the Jews and resistance workers. She even had a hidden room built in her house to hide the Jews residing there (Straub, 1992; Ten Boom, 2006).

Anne Frank, a Jewish child at the time, faced constant persecution from the Nazis and had personal struggles similar to those of other Jewish children. This is an effect from World War Two, since Adolf Hitler from Germany believed that the German race was superior, so during his world domination against the Allied Powers, his immoral notion created devastation among Jews. Each and every family, but especially the Jewish families, was affected by this wave of dictatorship, and although many of them faced death, mostly all faced sorrow. This world-wide crisis reveals the parallel between several Jewish families, like the Franks, and how they were able to cope in their racist community and oppressive setting.

“Okay, class, this week we are learning about the holocaust. Today, we are learning about Anne Frank.” Mrs Robinson announced to the loud eighth grade class. As Mrs.Robinson went to her desk to get some papers, Victoria sat in the back doodling a picture in her notebook. Mrs. Robinsons voice rang through the noisy classroom. “Open your books to page 374.” She paused. “Let's start with who was Anne Frank? Well, she was a victim of the holocaust, an author, and an incredibly strong girl. Anne was born in Frankfurt, Germany on June 12, 1929. She lived there until nazis gained control of Germany when she was only four and a half. When nazis took over and things in Germany got bad, they fled to Amsterdam looking for a better life. ”She paused for
