The Hiding Place: A Graphic Novel

Corrie ten Boom's memoir, The Hiding Place, paints a poignant picture of one family's remarkable courage and sacrifice during a very dark chapter in human history: World War II. As devout Christians, Corrie's family defied the Nazi regime and offered compassionate refuge to Jews and other persecuted individuals in the ten Boom home. Their covert actions, which involved creating a secret chamber in their watchmaking store, demonstrate the extraordinary measures taken by regular individuals to oppose oppression and extend Christian love.

The graphic novel adaptation of The Hiding Place presents a visually stunning portrayal of Corrie's brutal journey. Through more than 1,500 engaging illustrations, readers experience wartime Holland firsthand, along with the changes that come with the darkness of oppression and fear. Even in the face of unimaginable adversity, Corrie's unwavering faith in Jesus leads to her enduring strength of hope and, ultimately, the transformative power of forgiveness.

The Hiding Place: A Graphic Novel not only introduces a new generation to Corrie ten Boom's inspiring testimony but also serves as a grim reminder of the importance of standing up against injustice and oppression. It testifies to the undefeatable spirit of individuals who, amid great peril, chose to shine a light of compassion and courage. Corrie's story reminds us that faith, hope, and love can triumph over evil, even in the bleakest times.
