    What would you do if a lots of Jews came to your steps of your house? What would you do if you knew that helping them would endanger you and your family? Would you let them in or not? Corrie Ten Boom had to answer those exact questions. Corrie Ten Boom was a lady that let Jews into her house even though she would get caught by the Nazi soldiers.

    one that Corrie ten Boom sometimes struggles with during her experiences in her autobiography, The Hiding Place. The harrowing events of the Holocaust and Nazi occupation of the Netherlands left little room for tenderness towards other people yet, as Betsie ten Boom, Corrie’s older sister showed time and time again, it is always possible to find it within oneself to forgive another, especially with God’s assistance. Betsie forgives Jan Vogel, the man who betrayed the ten Boom family to the German

    weakness arises from the time difference between the events and the writing of the novel. Corrie ten Boom wrote THE HIDING PLACE twenty years after the fact. It is extremely likely that the events depicted in the novel are shades of what actually occurred. Memories fade and time distorts the reality of the past and because of this, I feel that the book would have been more factually accurate had Corrie ten Boom written it much sooner. Another weakness in the book derives itself from ten Boom’s heavy reliance

    In the Hiding Place written by Corrie Ten Boom, there is a disagreement on whether it is okay or not to break God’s Laws, even in the face of evil. Corrie’s sister, while hiding Jews, was asked by a Nazi if she had any Jews in her house, and she replied with an honest answer of yes.

Lord Jesus, keep me in Your will.” (ten Boom 234) This statement refers to Corrie’s realization of how everything had happened

    “Mom!” Shouted Olivia. “I want to talk to you about when I was little. I have so so many questions to ask you. What was the first word I said?
