The Hiding Place

The Hiding Place Book Critique The Hiding Place, by Corrie ten Boom, is an extensive study of how World War II, more specifically the Holocaust, affected those living in Holland.

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. I think that it is not okay to break God’s Laws under any circumstance. Firstly, what are God’s Laws? To me, I think that lying to spare the life of the innocent is not breaking God’s Laws.

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.

They were arrested by the Gestapo in 1944, and Corrie's father, brother, sister and

The book Corrie Ten Boom was an excellent book. The story was timed well and shortened from the original biography of Corrie Ten Boom, The Hiding Place. This story is mostly about how a Christian with so much faith can change the world. In the book many times Corrie shows compassion and forgiveness. This book takes place in the Netherlands. I like history and this was a great story given during WWII, during the Nazi reign. The story starts off slow not much going on, except Corrie is sick. Her parents

you imagine a corrupted, twisted, and merciless dictator slaughtering your friends and neighbors all around you? This is what Corrie ten Boom and the rest of her family experienced during World War Two which she later wrote about in her book The Hiding Place.

Others however, claim she should

Each day, Corrie and Betsie had to persuade each other that everything was going to be okay, once they were free from the “hell”, or the concentration camp they were placed in. And, yet, Corrie and Betsie somehow managed to keep in mind that God was with them. Corrie Ten Boom’s astonishing

Jewish Children during the Holocaust In the book The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom, tells the story about her life during World War Two in the Netherlands. Corrie being the strong christian felt that it was right to lead an anti- Nazi operation, in helping to hide her Jewish friends inside of her house.

God’s laws are meant to be superior over all of us. There may be severe punishments if breaking one. In The Hiding Place, Corrie ten Boom wants to help the Jews, who were being persecuted by the Nazis. To hide them, she would have to break the Nazi’s laws and God’s laws. The question is… Is it acceptable to break God’s commandments when there is evil and hatred in the world? No or Yes?
