Having read rel="nofollow" target="_top">The Hiding Place earlier this year, it was really interesting to see the Beje and the ten Boom family from the perspective of one of their "guests." Not only does Hans Poley echo Corrie ten Boom's assertions about the incredible faith of her father and sister, he shows Corrie herself as more open and giving than she portrayed herself in some areas. For example, when her room was chosen as the location for the secret room in her book, she tried to protest it. According to Poley, however, she "readily agreed." I think we'd all be surprised to find out how others view us, compared to how we view ourselves, and in this case, Corrie ten Boom may have been a little hard on herself. Another small thing I noticed that didn't match up between the books is that both authors claim to be the one who gave Eusi, one of the most prominent long-term Jewish guests, his fake name, and I wonder if this, and any other possible discrepancy, is simply due to faulty memories.
Yet again I was struck by how incredibly selfless this family was, giving up their own comfort and safety to help so many others. And Casper ten Boom, Corrie's father, is even more inspirational to me after reading this. He repeatedly expressed a desire to help the Jewish people as if it weren't even a choice to make. If you've read The Hiding Place, you should consider reading this too. Overall, though, I recommend it to anyone interested in true Holocaust accounts, especially those from a Christian worldview.… (altro)
