   • bioText:

     Cornelia "Corrie" ten Boom (1892–1983) was a Dutch Christian Holocaust survivor who helped many Jews escape the Nazis during World War II. Her autobiography, The Hiding Place, was made into a movie of the same name. In 1967 Ten Boom was honored as one of the "Righteous among the Nations" by the State of Israel.

     In the years after the closing chapter of The Hiding Place, she traveled ceaselessly, carrying her message of triumphant living all over the world, especially behind the Iron Curtain. The author of devotional books treasured by millions, she was also a colorful, amusing speaker.

The Hiding Place

fullDescription

At one time, Corrie ten Boom would have laughed at the idea that she had a story to tell. For the first fifty years of her life, nothing out of the ordinary ever happened to her. She was an old-maid watchmaker living contentedly with her sister and their elderly father in the tiny Dutch house over their shop. Their uneventful days, as regulated as their own watches, revolved around their abiding love for one another.

But with the Nazi invasion and occupation of Holland, everything changed. Corrie ten Boom and her family became leaders in the Dutch underground, hiding Jewish people in their home in a specially built room and aiding their escape from the Nazis. For their pains, all but Corrie found death in a concentration camp.

Here is a story aglow with the glory of God and the courage of a quiet Christian spinster whose life was transformed by it.

   • content: "Wanda McCaddon does great credit to the writers of this true story. Her emotional control makes the tension and horror of the family's plight more real and hideous. The listener is left with a story of extraordinary humanity, goodness and overwhelming love."

   • content: Corrie ten Boom was a leader in the Dutch Underground during WWII. With the aid of her family, she hid scores of Jews from the Nazi invaders. She was arrested along with every member of her family, spending the remaining war years in concentration camps. Nadia May does great credit to the writers of this true story. She reads with simplicity and a lack of histrionics. Her emotional control makes the tension and horror of the family's plight more real and hideous. Her vocal range is expansive as is her ability to speak with diverse foreign accents. The listener is left with a story of extraordinary humanity, goodness and overwhelming love. J.P.

3. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: Corrie ten Boom was the leader of the Dutch Underground during WWII. This play, adapted from her classic memoir, is staged expertly. Sound effects ground readers in space--a dog's yelp, the ticking of 10 watches--and guide emotional response. Each voice comes through clearly, and characters are differentiated from one another--including minor ones. One can even tell each character's location in space and how he or she is interacting. The writing and directing, however, are more limited. Though this is a story of real heroes whose faith compelled them to hide Jews from the Nazis, they seem flattened, like characters in a melodrama, and, therefore, not quite believable. G.T.B. 2006 Audie Award Winner (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
4. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: 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. W.M. (c) AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
