Hoe een christelijke familie hoort te zijn.. prachtig.

Wauw, wat een prachtig mens is corrie toch. Ik lees graag haar boeken. En mijn favoriet is de schuilplaats. Echt een aanrader!

Ik heb de film in de bioscoop gezien over de Corrie ten Boom toen ik op de Nederlandse Antillen woonde. De film kwam uit rond 1976/77. Ik was toen 16 jaar oud. De film heeft veel indruk op mij gemaakt.

Here's a rough translation: Amsterdam has the world-famous Anne Frank House. But Haarlem also has a similar special place where hunted Jews could hide from German cruelty: the Corrie ten Boom House. Here, in #19 in the war years lived a watchmaker's family. In the front was the store, and the family lived in the house behind. The family home was on several levels and therefore they had an ideal location to make a safe place to hide people. Corrie ten Boom lived here together with her father Casper and her sister Betsy. The family was very devout and from the thought that "In the House of the Lord there is room for many" they opened their home in 1942 for Jews and others who needed to be hid. The home served as a way station, meaning the fugitives, after a short period, were brought from here to other, safer locations. In this way they saved more than 800 lives. Taking fugitives into your home meant that you had to follow many safety rules, which the ten Boom family did. Here, under the windowsill, buttons were hidden that set off alarm bells throughout the house. This little advertisement was also a warning sign. If it was in the window, it meant that all was clear. If it wasn't there, it meant "Don't ring the bell--and try to get away." In this room, the family members and those they were hiding spent time together. When it was safe, they used to sing and pray. But also from here, they held exercises to practice getting to the safe room within seventy seconds. And that went like...THIS! Behind this cabinet was the hiding place. Nowadays the wall has been opened so people can see inside better. But the fugitives had to lift this door, and crawl in through this small opening. This is REALLY small. And here they'd sit, a couple of people, in angst. The hiding place functioned outstandingly. No one ever had any idea that behind the shelves of linens people were hiding. It seemed like everything was perfect. Seemed. Because on 28 February 1944, things went wrong. The family was ratted out. The Gestapo stormed into building. Luckily, the alarm bells did what they were supposed to, and the four Jews and two others reached the hiding place just in time. The family didn't let on that they were there, even though they were brutally treated. The Gestapo didn't just leave it at that. They searched the whole house, and finally, they discovered this secret slot. Here, they found ration stamps, far more than were necessary for the family alone. This was reason enough for Corrie and her family to be arrested and taken to jail, and later, to concentration camps. But the six fugitives were still hidden. For two and a half days, still as mice, without water, and only crackers to eat, until they were freed by other members of the underground. Thus the fugitives were rescued. And while Corrie was in jail, she received a letter with a small message written underneath the postage stamp: "All the watches in your cabinet are safe." For the ten Boom family, things weren't as rosy. Father Casper ten Boom died in prison. Corrie and her sister Betsy were transferred to the Ravensbruck concentration camp, where Betsy got sick and died. And Corrie? Miraculously, and to her it was a divine miracle, she was set free in December 1944 thanks to a clerical error. After the war, Corrie sold the house and the store, and traveled the world as an evangelist, to preach God's word. She ended up in the United States, where, in 1983, she died at the age of 91. But happily, the house was preserved so that this amazing story from this amazing long-lived woman can be heard--and seen.

I've been there yesterday, woow, it's so impressing, the story of this family, and the testimony of sister Corrie. I would recommend it to all of you when visiting Haarlem!

Wunderbar.

Ik heb je filmpje gezien,heel goed en ontroerend gemaakt!groetjes uit zutphen van Elisabeth bij de bakker

interresant filmpie hoor!!

Sou brasileira, não sei porque sempre quis conhecer a Holanda, desde muito jovem e depois que conheci a história dessa família de irmãos aí que eu queriá mesmo. Mas fico feliz em ter conhecido esse exemplo de fé e amor cristão.

Volgens mij is de eerste foto in het filmpje niet in de Barteljorisstraat, maar in het Begijnenhof. Op de achtergrond zie je het concertgebouw.

*_Esto representa el amor que le tenemos nosotros los cristianos protestantes a los judíos_* 🇮🇱🕎✡†
