CORNELIA JOHANNA ARNOLDA TEN BOOM, generally known as CORRIE TEN BOOM, (April 15 1892 April 15 1983) was a Dutch, Christian Holocaust survivor who helped many Jews escape the Nazis during World War II. Ten Boom co-wrote her autobiography, The Hiding Place with Americans JOHN AND ELIZABETH SHERRILL who have edited Guidepost magazine and have authored several books. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. From AudioFile When Ten Boom's close-knit, deeply Christian Dutch family, who lived over their watch shop, became involved in the Dutch resistance after the Nazi invasion, the consequences were dire. Bernadette Dunne gives Ten Boom a slightly worn voice, which works well for a story told in retrospect. Dunne also indicates other characters with ease and suppleness. She manages to convey the remarkable way the book maintains a sense of warmth, kindness, and hopefulness while depicting the horrors of Nazi-run prisons and work camps. Dunne also renders Ten Boom's sometimes-faltering but profound faith as it should be, with deep feeling but no taint of self-righteousness. With sensitivity and tact, Dunne gives this harrowing story the engaging narration it merits.

May God forgive her," Betsie replied. And, once again, Corrie realized that it was for the souls of the brutal Nazi guards that her sister prayed. Here is a book aglow with the glory of God and the courage of a quiet Christian spinster whose life was transformed by it. A story of Christ's message and the courageous woman who listened and lived to pass it along -- with joy and triumph! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
