Because of her illness, she’s eventually placed in an individual cell where she languishes until her health improves. The weather is getting colder, which makes it harder on them.
By now, the Kleermaker family and the elderly couple have moved on to safer locations. One day, Corrie sees a woman outside the window that she doesn’t recognize. After some time, Lieutenant Rahms allows the whole family to convene at the prison, on the pretext of reading Father’s will. Although he’s usually dressed in tattered clothes, today he’s wearing a new suit and flashy tie. Corrie can’t eat hers because of her experience in the Beje.
In the camp, it was Corrieâs bedrock faith in the glory of God that sustained her. Tante Bep dies from tuberculosis after leading a bitter and unhappy life as a family governess. She is questioned again but manages to seem as though she is ignorant of the accusations.
In the end, they arrest all of them including Peter, Willem, Nollie and her husband.
In 1898, Corrie resists going to school for the first time because she is afraid. His watch shop was on the ground floor of the familyâs home, known as the Beje.
On the other hand, Corrie finds a new sense of purpose when she takes over the family watch making business. In order to make the Beje safe during Gestapo raids, the anonymous Mr. Smit builds a secret room in Corrie’s bedroom. He then grabs an old Bible off its shelf and shouts that it says to obey the government in God’s word.
The ten Booms take him in because he looks so much like a stereotypical Jew that other safe houses won’t accept him, and he becomes very close with Father. She goes to the police station every day to see him, but he never shows up.
At this point, the narrative skips forward several years to when Corrie is fourteen and she falls in love for the first time.
He is a very religious man who raises his children to be as well. Willem was already sheltering some Dutch Jews due to his previous connections with them. It seems just like the place that Betsie described, down to the inlaid floors and other features. Tante Jans is also diagnosed with diabetes, which, at the time was a death sentence.

In 1942, Willem’s son, Peter is arrested for playing the national anthem in church after it was outlawed by the Nazis. Soon after that, Corrie goes upstairs to set out plates for breakfast since it’s the heart of the home. She prays for God to see him as He does and goes to sleep. The Hiding Place (1971) is the biographical record of the life of Corrie ten Boom, whose family was active in underground efforts to save Dutch Jews during the Nazi occupation of Holland. This knowledge helps her get through the difficult times at the camp and after Betsie dies, it gives Corrie comfort as well. Corrieâs sense of right and wrong was powerfully influenced by her commitment to Christian doctrine. Corrie, her father and Betsie stay up praying despite the fact that everyone else has gone to sleep. Although she can work inside, it’s still tough because she has to finish her sock quota by noon every day so she can read the Bible and pray with other women in the barracks until evening.
Corrie spends time with Nollie and takes in a group of mentally handicapped people to hide from the Nazis. The chief interrogator is upset that an old man has been arrested and offers to send him home if he promises not to cause any more trouble.

She felt disoriented, especially with the noise of the household, including a bunch of people in her room next to her bed. Betsie and Corrie are taken to Ravensbruck, where they receive deplorable treatment. Although Willem is weak and jaundiced, he makes Corrie feel safe for a little while. Corrie is happy because she knows that the Allies are getting closer to Holland, so she feels better about her situation. Eventually she regains use of her arms and legs but can’t knit or write letters anymore; all she can say are “yes,” “no,” and “Corrie.” Whenever someone asks what it is she wants to say, they have to guess by asking yes-or-no questions because Corrie doesn’t know how else to help out with communication unless someone knows sign language fluently enough. To keep track of time, Corrie records each day with a sharpened corset stay. Spring slowly arrives, and Cato tells Corrie that Harry has been arrested.
But Mamaâs condition taught Corrie about how truly strong love was. Corrie worries that the Bible is visible under her dress, but she decides to trust in God’s protection. A policeman named Rolf turns out to be sympathetic towards her, and he provides information about Gestapo movements for her. It is after this that Corrie begins working with the Dutch Underground. Betsie replied that she prays for this every day, but later realized that while talking about the prisoners, Betsie was thinking about the guards.

Suddenly, officers burst into Corrieâs room, interrogating her exactly as Kik and Rolf had said they would. It is becoming more difficult to find safe houses in the country, and Corrie knows she must start hiding people in the city. Betsie sees this as an opportunity to speak about Jesus with people around her. Corrie is assigned to work in a factory assembling German radios. She was at a train station in Amsterdam with no money; Corrie went to get her.
The home was always filled with children, whom the ten Booms came to regard as members of their familyâscores of children passed through the ten Boom home, known as the Beje, marking the house in Corrieâs mind as a hiding place of refuge and sanctuary from a world that was often cruel and indifferent.
Corrie ten Boom explains to Lieutenant Rahms that God cares about people because he made them, not for any other reason.
On the other hand, each dawn brings a new perspective to Corrie that she finds awe-inspiring. After a failed attempt at returning to work for the Resistance again, Corrie opens up the Beje for mentally handicapped people. The mayor of Haarlem is at the Beje, as well as several policemen from the station near Corrie’s house.
Father tries to interpret these events in the most charitable way, saying that Otto must be frightened and lonely since he is alone in a strange country.

The ultimate "Hiding Place" is within God.
This family shares a deep love for each other, devotion to their Christian faith and warm, generous hearts for the whole community. At such times when everyone was there together, it made them realize how separate each church was in Haarlem—how they all fenced themselves off from one another. Through her sick haze, it takes her a minute to realize that this is not a drill. The two agents, Kapteyn and Willemse begin questioning Corrie, whom they feel is the ringleader.
Corrie hides the ration cards under some stairs, reflecting on how Peter hid their radio there and feeling proud of herself for doing something similar in honor of her husband’s memory. One day, Corrie hears all the prisoners shouting to each other. Families from the town begin disappearing. It seems like many Dutch citizens don’t mind this injustice or even participate in it by taking over Jewish businesses after they’ve been deported by the Nazis. In May, Corrie prepares for her trial. The prisoners are kept in quarantine for two weeks while tempers wear thin. The danger Corrie faced was immense. When she gets there, she sees that he has three Doberman pinschers and talks about dogs with him for several minutes before telling him why she’s there. Corrie realizes that she has a network of people available to aid her with this mission of helping smuggle Jews out of the city.
As a child she grew up in her father’s watchmaking shop and was eventually licensed as the first female watchmaker in the Netherlands.
