"The Hiding Place" is based on the story of Corrie ten Boom and her family, who worked with the underground resistance in Holland against the occupying Nazi army, providing a "hiding place" in their home for fleeing Jews.
"Corrie is one of the great Christian heroines of the century," Billy Graham once said of Corrie ten Boom.
