Product Description:
Beautifully restored, this inspiring true story of Holocaust survivor Corrie ten Boom (played by Golden Globe nominated Jeannette Clift) now outshines it own stunning Hollywood Premiere. With the WWII Nazi invasion of Holland, the ten Boom family joins the underground resistance to help save persecuted Jewish families. But when they are arrested and imprisoned in concentration camps themselves, they're left with nothing to cling to but their faith.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A tough way to live
This is an amazing story of faith and courage. I cannot image the awesome trust in God it must have took to withstand all of this. The mental toughness required to endure such hell is unthinkable. A truly great true story. You need to see this one for sure!
Rating: - Real Christianity in Time of Worldwide Crisis
The story of Corrie Ten Boom is both tragic and inspiring. Her families' sacrifice is the epitome of Christ's. They were Giants - true heroes during the darkest times in recent western European history. Everyone, Christian or not, should watch this movie. It establishes a high standard of behavior that could change the world if more of us imitated it. On a side note: the widescreen picture was quite good.
Rating: - No other movie has impacted me as this one...
What I have seen, heard and learned in this movie has directly and indirectly been used throughout many years. No other movie has affected me like The Hiding Place. I have watched it more times than I can count and always see something new. It has been such an encouragement; and how blessed I am to know about the ten Boom family and Corrie's testimony! Her books and videos have had a profound impact on me, and countless others.
Rating: - Maybe the most challenging film you'll ever see
Even in hard economic times, periods of political turmoil, life in America for most of us is pretty good. Sure, there are struggles, but most of us have food to eat, roofs over our heads, money to spend on entertainment and things, and most importantly, our political and religious freedom. We haven't a clue what it's like to truly fear that our government will take away our most cherished rights. We need not worry that we will be imprisoned, tortured, killed or simply denied the right to earn a living because of our religion or ethnic background.
Imagine our world turned upside down. Everyone knows the history, the horrors wrought on the world by the Nazis. The nightmare that was life in Europe in the 1930's and 1940's need not be repeated here. How would you respond to that evil? Would you blame God? Would you denounce your beliefs and principles to protect your life, the lives of your family and friends or your family business? Would you turn away from the slaughter of innocents to save your own skin? Hopefully, none of us will ever have to answer those questions.
The Hiding Place shows you how one family, the Ten Booms of the Netherlands, answered those questions. They risked everything they had, and suffered horribly (in Dutch prisons and Nazi concentration camps), to save the lives of Jews trying to flee from (or hide in) Nazi-occupied Netherlands.
The movie will challenge you to question how far you would go to do what you believe is right. ... Read More
Rating: - A Key of Promise
Running "The Hiding Place" through a video player can unlock the door to a place of safety-- a reverent, joyful chamber of promise.
This cannot be a piece of fiction, for in its unlikely construction we see and hear Truth manifesting itself (Himself) through the story of two precious "old maids" of the Netherlands and their watchmaker father. We might, upon a casual viewing, consider this family brave, heroic, self-sacrificing in their efforts to conceal Jews during the World War II Nazi occupation of Holland. But having lived with this story since I was 13 when I heard Corrie ten Boom speak in my church, and having read the book and played the video countless times as an adult, I have come to see that the ten Boom family was neither brave or heroic, but rather "occupied" themselves with a glorious intruder.
He came and transformed their "war efforts" and the resulting torture they endured in concentration camps into an astounding (but Biblically typical)"context" for communion with Himself. Corrie and Betsie and their earthly father would be the first to say that the Lord Jesus Christ is the hero of their incredible passage through hell. And perhaps most amazing of all, they would enthusiastically express that He translated this dark journey into a profoundly beautiful experience saturated with the light, joy, safety and power of His presence.
But this was all a secret. Not everyone saw it at the time it was happening, the movie may hide it as well. My prayer ... Read More
