The Hiding Place (1975) - full transcript
Corrie and Betsie ten Boom are middle-aged sisters working in their father's watchmaker shop in pre-WWII Holland. Their uneventful lives are disrupted with the coming of the Nazis. Suspected of hiding Jews & caught breaking rationing rules, they are sent to a concentration camp, where their Christian faith keeps them from despair and bitterness. Betsie eventually dies, but Corrie survives, and after the war, must learn to love and forgive her former captors.
By Wireless from the BBC
Her Majesty
The Queen of the Netherlands
Fellow Hollanders
The Lights have gone out
of a free Holland
Where only 2 weeks ago there
was a free Nation of Men and Women
both up in the cherished tradition
of Christian Civilization
There is now stillness of death
Oppressed, Threatened
Watched on every side
by the power that would tear out
all hope from the soul of man
The unhappy people of Holland
can only Pray in silence
For those who have lost
their voice
but not their Hope
or their Vision
in the struggle against the
onslought of barbarism
Long Live..The Netherlands
Oh
Coffee
In the parlour
Attention! Attention!
By the order of the
Reich Commissioner
all citizens are ordered to
surrender their radios
and all other wireless
equipments
Attention! Attention!
By the order of the
Reich Commissioner
all citizens are ordered to
surrender their radios
and all other wireless equipments
Good Morning MrTen Boom
I appologize for the intrusion
They are collecting all radios
I can see that
And Dutch Police men
assisting them
We do what we must
The radio is?
Upstairs in the Parlour
Get it
You have many beautiful
clocks here
B?varo?
The cabinet looks like
Sir Berringer's works
Yeah, 1886
You know watches..clocks?
My Father is a watch maker
I grew up in Reuverswinch
You look what you have grown into
What District?
Mattenbraw
Mattenbraw
Mattenbraw 1895
Magnificient
But you should have seen that watch
When it was taken in
The way some people treat a watch
No care...No
understanding
It was a gift on my 70th Birthday
To Grandpa Ten Boom
From the Children of Haarlem
26th of March 1935
Give him the horn
Any other radios in the house?
No, No
Good day then
I don't want anything too expensive
you understand?
Or just this one
7 Jewels in a Swiss factory
But all the craftsmen are German immigrants
It's 42 Guilders
It's for Aniversary
We could spend little more
Oh Well, then just this one
Bamendor works
uhh..Excuse me
Papa, Are you going out?
I will not caught around this
house and do nothing
Papa?
Excuse me
I'm Sorry
Yes
You..see
You could have it engraved
Or you could order it in
White Gold
The White Gold is 60
Residents in the occupied Netherland
must come forward according to
the following regulations
A Person is considered as being a Jew
Here's your star
Or part Jew
Next
if he had atleast one grandparent with
originary of full Jew
A grandparent is considered a Jew
if he belongs or has belonged
to the Jewish Church
You shouldn't be here
I have come for my Star
They are for Jews
You don't have a J
on your identity card
You could get it for me
If we all where them they would't
know the difference between
a Gentile and a Jew
Go home, please
Go home
I will wear my Star
And I wont take it off
Until God tells me to take it off
The God of Abraham and Isaac
Are my God, too
Who's the leader?
Hurry, Quick, turn around
Good Morning
Isn't it Miss Ten Boom?
Children, Stop here
The watch maker shop?
Ten Boom, Berteljorisstraat
Yea, you came for our radio
I wrote to my Father
I told him about your shop
Who are those boys?
Why are they being allowed to
torment that man?
They are young Dutch patriots
You might have heard public statements
derogatory to the Reich and our Fuhrer
They are expressing their
indignation
Patriots?
Who are these children?
I teach a class
I tell them about God
And this I used to
This will be the last one
Thanks to your new directive
concerning unauthorised meetings
Miss Ten Boom
The measures are temporary
When all this is over
When order has been restored
then all the Aryan peoples will live
together as brothers in our life
Men live together as brothers only
in the Kingdom of our Lord
Nowhere else
May we go?
Come..yea
Children..Children
Come! Come!
Have some cookies. Yea
Jan comes running for
the cookies
Lisa, yea
Carol..ah, yea!
Ha! Cookies?
I may not be able to be with you
for a while
But Jesus will still be there
Always watching over you
You see without Jesus
We are like this
Empty!
We can do nothing
But then Jesus fills us
with his Love
Then we are full
Yea!
We can do anything
We can do anything
Nothing serious, Pastor
Little bit dirt may be
It has been loosing
5 seconds a day
May be a good cleaning
You can do it in an hour?
While I am here
It really would be most helpful
Yea!
Good!
I will have an hour chat
with your papa
I hear he has been wearing
a Jewish Star
Stubbornness is the child of pride
And pride is the 1st of the 7 deadly sins
I will speak to him about it
I will need to be back at
the Church by 1:30
It will be ready
Dr Heemstra
Miss Ten Boom
Can only stay for a moment
We need milk for him
not soup
Good Lord...you don't intend
to keep it!
But you can't!
It's illegal!
You could all be arrested!
Aha..he is beautiful
Pastor
The Lord must have sent you here
You live in the country
There he could be safer
It's
Impossible
I have my own family to think of
We could loose everthing
for that child
Where would my Church be
without a Shepherd?
Ah, But
No, Betsie!
Pastor has decided
It is the Law!
And Christians must obey the Law!
Think what you are risking
for the sake of one Jewish baby
Will you report us, Pastor
If the baby must stay
a while with us
Corrie, we are meant to obey
the law of the State
If it does not go against
a higher law of God
Pastor, you want me to take
off my Star
Very well..I will not wear it
And we will keep the child
As a Christian
I am sorry that any man
must suffer
No matter who he is
what his race
But remember it is the Jews
Who gave us the Bible
and our Saviour!
It is on your heads
I'll pick up my watch tomorrow
Good Day, Ten Boom
Ladies
God forgive him
He did not mean it
How can that man call himself
a Christian?
If a mouse lives in the cookie jar
that doesn't necessarily make
him a cookie
What do we do?
He must have milk!
He should go to the country
Careful, He'll suffocate
No
Where would you send him?
God will know
Doors are opening all
over Holland
Last week we had a Dutch farm girl
and a peasant Baroness in the same bed
And now you will have our little
Moses into basket
Corrie, Please
Thank you
Willem!
He must not cry!
You certainly are organised
It's not the first time
We are away station
For a day or a week
You hid this from us, Willem?
German Jews before the occupation
and now the Dutch.
We do what we can
But the Nazis will not be satisfied
until there is not a Jew left in Europe
They have touched the apple of God's eye
I pity them
I hate them
Ah, Corrie
You can't hate anyone and
walk with the Lord
You could have told us
Willem, We might have helped
It is important toget our
little friend out of here
You would be hard pressed to explain
this sudden gift from heaven
Son, I will walk with you
a little way
Good Bye, Moses
We have been managing alright
Sometimes we have some potatoes
and occasionally eggs even!
So far we have not done too badly
And of course we
Is this the Dutch farm girl?
Grandpa!
Kik, Did you get anything?
The carbon from the waste basket
If you hold it out to the light
You can just make it out
Thank you
You see, Papa
We have a contact in the Gestapo
Hush!
He gives us a deportation list
whenever he can
Alright, Kik?
Bye, Grandpa
God Bless you, Kik
Steady it with one hand..Good!
Papa
Everyday now
They send 400 Jews from Amsterdam
Central Station
We reach those we can
Do we know anyone on the list?
I beg your pardon
No, please..I..I
I am sorry
to inconvenience you
May be he is a
Papa
There is a Gentleman upstairs
We have met
It was too late
He has no place to go
Papa, he is a Professor
Willem studied with him
They closed the university
All the Jewish teachers
were forced
Ah, Betsie
Good morning again, Professor
I appologise for the intrusion
Mr Ten Boom
Please
Thank You
Professor
Will you do us the honour
of asking the Blessing?
Baruch atah Adonai
Eloheinu Melech Haolam
Hamotzi lechem min haaretz
Amen
Amen
How fortunate Aunt Bep
had big feet
Yes.
Hmm..When were you born?
Born?
19th August 1885
Father's Name?
Ten Boom Casper
Mother?
Ten Boom Cornelia
Her maiden name?
Miss Ten Boom
If we are stopped, I
I could never pass as you
Professor Ziener
There are no if's in God's world
He brought you to this house
And he will see you
get safely away
This is your turn, Professor
Stay close with me
I'll try
It's wonderful, Professor!
We are almost there
Katrien!
Aunt Corrie!
Aunt Corrie!
Katrien!
I need your father's help
You should have seen Professor Ziener
getting into the boat
Katrien's father was attending him like
Queen Willemina boarding the yacht
Cornelia, do you think that you are
enjoying this a little too much?
Enjoying?
No, I was terrified
I've been able to laugh at it
all dressed up like Betsie
Oh..thank God
He kept the patrols away
Be sure to save a piece of cake
for Willem's friend
Friend?
It is all very mysterious
Someone he wants us to meet
What did Willem say when you
told him about Professor Ziener?
This is not some game you play
when the mood strikes
If you become involved in
this work
people will be forced to trust you
with their lives
I told you, Willem
We gave him my papers
We thought it out
very carefully
And if they questioned him
Was he supposed to sing soprano?
No!
He was going to have
Quincy throat
Excuse me
When you wander along the canal
taking someone out of there?
How did you know
that you could trust him?
I knew the man
And he knew what the Lord told me
Papa
You are the Master of this house
The Master of this house
Commands that we open the door
to anyone who knocks
We cannot afford to
ignore anyone
who seriously engages in our work
whatever the methods
Perhaps you will allow us
to assist your efforts
Thank you for the delivery, Mr Smit
Only for emergencies!
We have a contact at the exchange
But you can never be certain that
the line is not tapped
But you would expected to develop
your own sources
The less contact you
have with me
or with anyone else the better
Willem
We know half of Haarlem
We have friends everywhere!
Dear Lady
Knowing them is one thing
Knowing their political views
God knows!
And we will ask him to lead
We appreciate your concerns
Mr Sluring
We are not the most likely candidates
But since there is a need
we must do what we can to meet it
People have every kind of reason for
wanting to work in the underground
Excitement! perhaps
Mr Sluring
We've passed the age when excitement is
of any major concern in our lives
Truthfully
I would rather do anything else
I would like to close the door
and never open it again
Until this whole hideous
thing is over
But that's me
My Lord Jesus
Tells me to open the doors
to whatever comes
To give his love in what
ever way I can
And I will listen to his voice
Not mine
Do we pass inspection?
How many can you take?
There is...Mama's room
and there's your old room
And there is Aunt Anna's room
and Aunty Bep's room
and our 3 rooms..there is 7
And could share bed
if we have to
So our hotel is ready
for guests
Not quite
What you do if Gestapo comes?
You'll have a visitor
Jan Smit
Actually it's 2 houses
Over a 100 years ago
they were joined together
The one in the front is 2 rooms
deep and 1 room wide
The one at the back...here
Is 3 rooms
One on top of the other
Papa, This is Mr Smit
Mr Smit
We know some Smit's in Amsterdam
Are you the Smit family that
Papa, this is the man I told
you about
He has come to Inspect the house
Oh...a building Inspector?
Do you have offices on
Grote Haus street?
No Papa, he is not a building Inspector
and his name is not Smit
Not Smit?
Excuse us, Papa
We must locate the rest
of the house
The Parlour
Meal times...that's the
favourite hour for a raid
Watch your waste baskets
and astrays
It needs to be as high
as possible
They'll ask for the best chance to reach
a safe place while they search below
These are all bedrooms?
Yea
If the raid comes at night
They'll have to take their bedding
Make certain that the mattress
gets tugged
The favourite trick of the Gestapo
feeling for a warm spot on the bed
What's up there?
The roof is directly above
Who sleeps here?
I do
Perfect!
The Wall..will go
Here!
All clear
The sign is in the window
You see there is a distinctive marking
You can always sell
Flenstadht's work
Lovely day, Aunt Betsie
Peter, No!
I'll come for it Tuesday then
Good
Uhha. Ten Boom!
Frisian!
Such beautiful wood!
My Father made a case like this once
Oh, He spent months building it
polishing, oiling
It is just a shell
It needs complete
set of works
What price will you be asking?
Well, It will take some months
to be ready
Name a good price
Exorbitant even, I will pay
I like the Clock
I can afford the best!
But
It has no works
No....huh
Very well
Tuesday, Mr Ten Boom
Kik! Hurry!
Aunt Betsie, How many times
do you have to be told?
Take the sign out of the window
when it isn't safe!
Kik
I'm sorry..I'm sorry!
Grandpa...Look!
Tea, Mr Smit?
Ah, Thank you!
Yes, yes, yes..yes!
Good Morning
Milk!
Not Milk! Paint!
Paint?
Betsie! O Betsie!
Do you remember Fred Koonstra?
Of course, he read our
electric meter for years
His daughter was in our Bible class
Yea
Milk!
Paint
Paint!
Elsie Koonstra
I know her name I just have to
sort out few faces
She must be into her 20's by now
I heared yesterday that Fred Koonstra
works in the Food Office
Where?
They issue ration cards
I will be frank
we had some unexpected company
First, a baby
Then a man
and then last night, a couple
All Jews, Mr Koonstra
Why do you tell me?
There are only 3 of us
left at home now
My Father, My Sister and Me
And our ration cards are
just not enough
All ration cards are checked
Accounted for in dozen
differnt ways
Yea! Yea! I know I
Should not have asked you
I thought perhaps you
could advise me
The food office at Utrecht
was robbed last week
Men were caught
And shot
If it happened at noon and just the
record clerk and I were there
We would have to be tied and gagged
How many cards do you need?
A 100!
I know someone who
might do it
Papa, Now!
Papa!
Done
How long?
47 seconds!
They better not send us
anyone wider than me
Hallelujah!
Oh Lord! we ask Your blessing
on this hiding place
You can eat what you like!
Herren, It is not kosher
It's not a problem
Could you pass the potatoes
Please?
Oh..my God!
Go, go, go! go!
Hurry, Hurry
I will get one to put one
on each side
Your'e spilling it!
Corrie?
1 minute and 15 seconds
It's long enough to cuddle
the stomach
Peace be with this house and
all who dwell in it
The peace of the Lord God. Please come in
Don't stand outside and pray
I was told that you have accomodation
I will require a room for myself
quiet for study and preferably
with no children
Well, Can you take me in?
Well, yes, but there are many
questions that I have
I would like something to eat
Last meal was yesterday
Thank you! Good afternoon
This is a Kosher House?
Well, we try, we have many requests
that we are not able to handle
And there are no children?
Well, not at present but they
come and they go
Let them stay gone
while I am here
This is the way?
Yea! I regret
My contacts have told me
that most of you guests are transients that
they are on the way out of the country
Most of them, Yes
Well, I will not be
I am a teacher and Chief compere
for the congregation Beth Kodesh
I will not be driven away by grining sea
creatures their powers and their Reich
Who is this man?
A Patriach like Issac or Jacob
Father of Nations!
Papa, We have a new guest
This is my father, Mr Ten Boom
Papa, This is Mr
Wijnstok, Meyer Wijnstok
Pleased to meet you, Mr Ten Boom
God willing and the accomodation
proving suitable
I will be staying with you until
this nonsense is over
You're Welcome
Thank You
Miss Ten Boom
My room, please
Aunt Betsie!
My friend Jan wants a place
to stay for a while
He got away from the transport
By noon tomorrow he will have
new identity papers
But
Where did you get the uniforms?
Not all Germans are Nazis
Aunt Betsie
Is it Jan?
Corrie! Mr Wijnstock refuse
kitchen duty again
He has to study
If he wants to eat he must
have to share the work
Where is he now?
In the parlour
Oh can I have a
Oh, excuse me! I'm sorry
Corrie, he's already been upset today
He found out we call him
Eusie behind his back
We save his great dignity
He should be flattered
he reminds us of a scholar
But a Gentile scholar..he said
We should have at least
called him Josephus
Rules are rules!
Mr Wijnstok, my sister tells me
that you have refused
Miss Ten Boom, I am Praying
First you refused to work on Saturday
because that was the Sabbath
Then you refused to work on Sunday
because that was our day of rest
I was simply trying to pay respect
to the practise of this house
But today is Tuesday
Tell me, Miss Ten Boom
Why you've found it necessary
to give me a nickname?
We called you Eusie simply because
Eusie is a kind of name
you give to a pet cat
As a guest in your house am I no
longer entitled to respect
We are getting completely
out of subject
However as if it seems to give
you both satisfaction
Please have the courage to
use the name to my face
You want Eusie
Eusie it will be
Ladies!
Good Morning!
Good Morning!
Good Morning!
Good Morning!
After 7!
Just smell breakfast?
Yea
Betsie!
Betsie
Good Morning!
What is it?
Today is the 18th!
It's Mama and Papa's Aniversary!
Oh, no!
54 coupons for the pass
Tell Mr Klassen
It's for Papa
Corrie
Corrie
That blouse and that skirt
You just can't. Not today
But its a
You look like a flag
on a mud boat
You always liked this blouse
The blouse is beautiful
and you are beautiful
But the combination of you and
blouse and skirt
is impossible
Santa Lucia
Santa Lucia
Papa Ten Boom, You are a most
singular man
You are such a great man!
There must have been a great woman
Now, this is not exactly a song
it is more a
a Blessing
Its a...It means may
God bless you
May He protect you
May His face shine upon you
You want the whole of
Haarlem to hear you?
I did not ask to be born a Jew
I am sick of being expected to
bear the burdern of suffering
for the entire world
Because my Mother's name was..Stein
So you will be another Esau
Selling your birth rights
for a mash of porridge
I don't want your great
Judaic Heritage!
I dont want any part of your
Lord God Jehovah
It is no easy thing
to stand in the Palm of God's hand
Betsie, go to the door
Betsie, go!
Yes, yes I'll go
Yes, in a moment!
This is Beukers
Betsie, are you crazy?
The whole street can hear
your Jews singing
Oh! Thank you!
Tonight, on the overseas
service of the BBC
We have special greetings of love
to 2017
soldier Sidney Harris
from his Mother
And to 1433, Officer Phillip Munen
for his wife Doris
If anyone has seen or heard
of Alan Stokes
who was last seen in
Bournemouth?
His father is hospitalized in London
is seriously ill
Alan Stokes, can contact
with the Hospital Whitehall 9527
The number is Whitehall 9527
Our next programme is
a music played by
How can I ever remember them?
You used to pass
messages in Church
Kik!
Aunt Corrie
All these numbers
What do they mean?
Different things
instructions mostly
Instructions of what?
Well, there could be
a Pilot down somewhere
The numbers could be co-ordinates
for picking him up
Or may be for blowing up
a Nazi supply train
Things like that
Sabotage?
We could have blood on our hands
For Holland
Does that make it right?
Lying, stealing, killing?
What ever helps Holland is right
Need the message, Aunt Corrie
they are waiting
Will there be life when
this is over?
Miss Ten Boom?
Yea!
Thank you for being so prompt
I've heard a great deal about you
about your work
I am afraid it is my father's work
Not of watch making
Your other work
You mean the children?
We had to disband the class
Miss Ten Boom
Many of us who are in opposition to
publicise our feelings
are in great sympathy in
what you are doing
People call your house
God's Underground
Are you trying to trap me Sir?
Using the name of the
Lord is not the way
If it were a trap you would be down
the hall talking with the Gestapo
This will go no further
Then why did you send for me?
I want you
to pass this man's name on
to your freinds
Who is he?
A business man
He betrays people to the Gestapo
The going rate is 75 guilders a head
Just pass it on
They'll take care of him
If I could do what you ask
It would be same as killing him myself
I can only put him in the
hands of the Lord
And ask the Lord to
reach his heart
Do that, Miss Ten Boom
The demons are out tonight?
I would assume you could sleep
to anything
Some Tea?
Thank you
You Know, Miss Ten Boom
You and I are very much alike
Stubborn
Tough
Determined
You still don't do
your share of the work
Yea..same, Yes
But I..I am also
So..Are you in!
Did you know that
I have a wife and small son?
Precisely, I do not choose to
expose myself
They got away
At least I think they did
I will not go around
like the others
begging for sympathy
and reassurance
We know so little about each other
you are busy yourself
with our needs
Surely you have some needs
of your own
It's people like us
Miss Ten Boom
Raging torrents behind
the stubborn jaw
No torrents
Might say my life has
been..boring
Till all this?
Until all this.
Was marriage never considered for
the daughter's of Ten Boom?
Betsie was always unwell
She was told she could not
bear children
so she choose not to marry
And you?
I had a young man
but I was not cut from fine enough
cloth for his family
I lacked grace
Still
I was the first woman to be
licensed watch maker in Holland
And you have your Father
and you have your Religion
Is it enough?
More than enough
God has been good to me
Yes
I think he has
And I think
I shall be going back to my bed
I will pray for your family
Don't think that you'll get me to
peel potatoes, Miss Ten Boom
Good Morning
Miss Ten Boom?
Yea?
My name is Vogel
Jan Vogel
I came all the way, from Ermelo
You have a watch that needs a repair?
I need 600 Guilders
I've heared that you have
certain contacts
I don't understand
It's my wife
She has been arrested
She is Jewish
That's a lot of money
There is a police man who will
arrange everything for 600 Guilders
And she'll need a place to hide
What now?
Someone is calling for this
within the hour
Mr Jan Vogel
He is from Ermelo
His wife has been taken
It's for a bribe
Oh...You are impossible
Now hear
I will take care of it
Now will you please go to bed?
But Willem and Tine are coming
You can come down later
Be sure to call
I will
And use the steam kettle!
Yea, Yea
I felt it today the Lord would
have us read from Romans Chapter 8
What then can seperate
us from Christ love?
Can hardship or calamity can
persecution or abuse
if we are hungry or poor
or in danger?
or threatened with death, does
that mean that God has deserted us..No?
Despite all this
We have overwhelming victory
through Christ who loves us
For I am convinced that neither
death nor life
nor the powers of heaven nor
the powers of hell itself
can keep God's love from us
Nothing in the world as it is
Or the worlds, that it shall be
in the forces of the Universe
in all creation will ever be
able to seperate us
Along the side door
Come on
All Upstairs!
Corrie!
Yea, I am sorry we are closed
until 2 O'clock
Miss Ten Boom...I
I have an appointment with you sister
Mr Vogel?
I need the money, now!
Yes, Of course I'll get it
Please! Miss Ten Boom
To your places, everyone!
Come on, Hurry up!
Please, Miss Ten Boom
Yes..Yes in a moment!
I am just collecting it
Upstairs, I'll take the top!
Miss Ten Boom?
Ten Boom, Elizabeth
Where do you hide your ration cards?
I don't know what you
are talking about?
Where are the Jews?
What Jews?
Lord Jesus, help me!
Where are the Jews?
Saviour save me
Where is the secret room?
Corrie!
This must stop!
There's been no wrong
done in this house
Then what are you doing
with all these ration cards?
Feeding an Army?
What does it say in the book of
your's about obeying the Government?
There comes a time
When we must choose between
God and man
Keep moving
Name?
Cornelia
Ten Boom, Elizabeth
Name?
Ten Boom, Casper
Papa!
Only 6?
God is with us
Ten Boom
Give me your word you'll
behave yourself
And you can die in your bed
old man..where you belong
If I stay behind
I will open my door to anyone
who knocks for help
Close it up
Seal the House
Out! Out! Out!
Corrie, take my hand
My sister she needs a doctor
Move on!
Papa!
Papa!
God be with you, Papa!
And with you all, my daughters!
I have to get in there
Fever down?
You have them worried
Typhus
Yesterday's ration
I saved it for you
Listen, I have family here
My sister, my brother
My father, my nephew
the Ten Boom family
Can you find out where they are?
Maybe, listen
I can get soap
aspirin, cigarettes
You can pay me when you start
getting mail
Soap 25 Guilders, Aspirin 50
Cigarettes, 100
Almost anything
Can you get me a Bible?
It's Kik! It's safe now
Oh, thank God!
Shh...Over the roof, quickly
The roof!
Where are you family?
Hurry!
The Ten Boom's?
Still in prision
That's all we know
Mama made it cover it on my bed
It was in a truso
The painting by the mirror is a
Do not go!
Stay
Please
They think I have to feed you
Everybody is been released
Everybody?
Except your sister Betsie
And your father too, I think
I am not sure
O! Thank you, Lord!
O Lord, Thank you!
Here's a bread from the
warden's bakery...Fresh!
O Lord
You have done wonders
Don't I get little credit?
Lord, Bless this Angel
Bless you!
Do you think you can last here
doing that...Praying?
The only way to live here is to hate
Hate can put you in a worse
prison than this
I have been 3 years in this hole
I worked my way to a position
I live to get the swine
who betrayed me
And that's 75 Guilders!
Are you cold?
It seems reasonably pleasant
I'm Sorry
Now you are here for the
violation of rationing rules
Would you mind telling me
where you got these extra ration cards?
Sometimes they just appeared
What do you mean...appear?
Pushed under the door
Sometimes they were handed
to me in the market
By whom?
By Mr Smit
Mr Jan Smit?
Would you tell me all your
other activities?
My sister and I held Bible classes
until such meetings were forbidden
And we worked with retarded children
How?
Excuse me?
How would you work with them?
We taught them about God
What a waste!
If you wanted converts
surely one normal person is
worth all the halfers in the world
In the eyes of God one simple child
may be worth more than
A watch maker's daughter?
Perhaps
But I know he keeps me
always in his sight
You actually believe that?
I beleive that you are in his
sight too..Lieutenant
Tell me, Miss Ten Boom
How can you believe in a God
Who lets an old man die in prison?
his body forgotten somewhere
in a pauper's grave?
My Father?
I understand he was taken ill
after about 10 days
He was taken to hospital in the Hague
Unfortunately
there were no beds available
He seemingly died in the hallway
Some failure of organisation
Under such circumstances when
no one claims the body
It is difficult to trace
I know where my Father is...Lieutenant
That will be all
Miss Ten Boom
You have news from home

Roll call 4:30 every morning
7 days a week
Tomorrow assignment, the work details
Those who cannot work report
to sick call
Don't say I better be sick!
You will receive one half pound
of bread
One half liter of soup per day
Once on observation upon
which your life depends
There is only one road to freedom
Work!
Get it up!
Hold them in!
You're Dutch?
Some of my people are Dutch
On my Mother's side
You are not the only one suprised
to be here
I thought I would be working
at re-allocation center
Refugees
Supplies are extremely limited
And accurate record is essential
I know my way around hospitals
I was kind of nurse once
I assume that is why you are
assigned here
I'm a midwife
I brought Jewish babies
into the world
You are not to touch
the things in here
Soap, Vitamins, Painkillers
Yeast, Quinine
I always have the key
to this cupboard
However
You will find it that I
often forget to lockup
I hope you understand
66685
Thank you, Lord!
He don't expect thanks
for this
It's warm!
I am thankful for every moment
we can be together
We can at least lie down tonight
There has to be a plan, Corrie
I won't be grateful for the lice
God doesn't make mistakes
How is it it's the hospital?
Is it though your temperature
has to be above 104 to be admitted?
That's the rule
There is a guard in the laundry
you can get underwear for a price
What does she want?
Bread rations
Oh, Don't cut too much
What you want hair or lice?
You'll learn to love the
little darlings
The guards won't step foot
in this lice pit
Pass the door we can do anything
Even Lice!

Somebody over slept
The loony
Ah, Corrie
We are in Hell!
Why do they keep us so long?
To break us
Betsie, Look!
I was certain no one would die
We would all go home
Those days on the train
The Lord seemed to promise
How could I have misunderstood?
Dear Father, help me
Don't let me listen to my voice
and think it's yours!
O, Jesus
Show me how to live in this place
You too love him?
Put these in the mattress
Not now! It's Yeast
And don't go spooning it around
I can never get enough for everybody
This method consisted of painting
on the small dots
of pure colours on the canvas
And colour blending was achieved
by placing dot of different
colours next to each other
And then, from a distance
the 2 colours
appear blended into
one single new colour
Jesus Christ has made it possible
For us we need to have direct access
There is a repeat in that point
In the 2nd movement?
There is a ritardando at the end of 3rd part
Ta..da..da
Stand up for Jesus ye soldiers of the Cross
Lift high his
Royal banner
You are quite wrong retardando is later
it must not suffer loss
Attention! Attention!
No Room!
No Room!
You find room
German whores
We ran them through the hospital
Infected
Pass the yellow badge?
Race Defiler
go to be with the Slavic labourer
She is just a child
You trod on my foot!
Don't exert yourself, Countess
It's all I can carry
Anymore and I'll have to
stop altogether
I decide who stops!
Betsie!
I decide who stops!
No!
Don't hate, Corrie
Don't hate
I'll first of all warm this
You owe 2 day's bread!
I will pay you next week
No!
Don't!
Jesus knows everything we feel
He promised that when 2 or 3
get together in his name
He would be there with them
Even in Ravensbruck!
In our lives, before
we would have been seperated
by so much
But here, all that has been
stripped away
And we see the truth
Jesus in each one of us
Light in this darkness
And we can praise him together
Father
Bless the German People
From your Great Storehouse of love
Forgive them for Jesus sake
Do not hold this place to the judge!
Forgive them
Even before they
know to ask
2 days bread I need
I'll give you one
2...Who else you know
has the Scarf!
I will give you one now, one tomorrow
I will break you
Come on, rub it!
Rub it in!
A whole transport of Poles
came in last night
Vulture
You should know
I have an underwear
Eyes front!
It's wool
No!
2 days bread ration
My comb
I'll collect later
Nothing for the comb
Rub hardly!
Rub it
Thank You
O! the sky is so peaceful
You politicals don't have anything
to do with trash
We're all trash
I took it from the tray
In the infirmary
Continue, Continue!
I thought you are smart
You called attention to
yourself in a line
Imbecile! Could you not wait until
you're back in the block
You are such a greedy fool?
You German Cow!
You know I should let them kill
You great lumbering, Imprest?vel!
You would like to go to the
No light, no water
You will never do anything
like stupid again!
Never!
Now I...
I'll dress your hand
Comfort the frightened
help the weak
be patient with everyone
do not repay evil for evil
but always try to do good
to one another
Always rejoice
Pray constantly
give thanks in all circumstances
For this is the will of God
in Jesus Christ
And to the mindless the word
sound so comforting
In this place it's mockery!
God didn't make this place...Man did!
But He has power
Surely he could stop them
Unless of course, he is the sadist
No! he is Love, all Love
Then he is Impotent
You can't have it both ways my dear!
You see what is around you
We see another world
Just as real
Our life with God
Everyday
It gets deeper and stronger
You'll think that you can't exist
side by side but, we know it do
We live them both
It's enough knowing that we
are so much done
moving from nothing to nothing
But you must believe your God
smells that stench from
those chimneys
and refuses to do anything
If only
you could know his love
I am Maria Wrochek
1st violinist of the
Warsaw Symphony Orchestra
Did your God will this?
We cannot answer
All I can say is, that the same
God you are accusing
came and lived in the
midst of our World
He was Beaten
And he was mocked
and he died on a Cross
And he did it for love
for us
And why do you think
your God of love sent you here?
To obey him
If you know him
you don't have to know why
First you take juice of 4 oranges
and half a cream
to the cup of sugar
I only use 3 quaters of the cup
You should use a full cup
Then you put peels aside for
grating and you whip the cream
What kind of cook are you?
You forgot the eggs
Do your own recipe, then
We need more sand
Corrie
Corrie
Don't shut me out..please
You know you can only give it to Jesus
Do you think I haven't prayed?
But I hate them
I hate every Nazi in this place!
We can't be more than
what we are
Only Jesus can free us
from ourselves
from whatever happens
Sister
You can't protect me
You mustn't try
Lord
I cannot let go of it
take this
hate
out of my life
and put your love in it's place
Jesus
so many things I do not understand
Do not let me go mad
Poking about on my own
You know that I am
Saviour
Hide me in the center
of your will
How long?
4 months
What's it to you?
Child
You would like to see me cry
Wouldn't you?
Then you could mother me
I only want to help
What difference would it make?
Everything dies here
A drug for!
A lousiy looking whore!
We need vitamins
and all the calcium you can get
And you are so damn numpty
2 years older she'b be standing
over you with a whip
Ah...a baby, Katje

I am not your personal Red Cross!
I can never get enough for you
and her and Betsie too
What are you doing?
Nothing! I was just
I said what were you doing?
We have a pregnency in 28

So
We have got some hot air
between you and the wind
Katje, Thank you!
It is funny about you two
Uhh...tells us
We need a laugh!
You are always talking about love
I bet neither of you ever
had a man
We have boy friends
Did you love your babie's father?
I was hungry
He was nice to me
Your leg is so strange
Lift this one
I can't
Well, Try!
It goes like wood
Oh I am so weak!
Thank God..he is strong
Katje, Katje!
Betsie, try
please try...yea
You know Corrie
We are going to be free!
Before the New Year
Both of us
Both of us?
The Lord
Showed me
in a dream
You'll see!
I'm not going to die, Corrie
No
Fair enough
Leave her there

Thank the Lord
For all he has done for us here
You will be warm soon
Together
You and I
Always together
Water
Could I sleep here?
Just tonight?
It's so cold
This way we can have 2 blankets
If God loved Betsie so much
Why?
Suffering does not mean that
God has stopped loving us
Sometimes
we have to accept things
we do not understand
I love Betsie
And I love you!
This is the sister
Corrie, you must look
Otherwise you'll never know
She is Beautiful
Betsie!
We should do great many things
for others
And we must go everywhere
We must tell people
that no pit is so deep
that he is not deeper still
They will believe us
because we were here
Betsie talked about heaven like
she already been there. Yea
No one would wish her back
Read for Betsie
Read for all of us
Are we not that
our earthly bodies
those we have now
it will die
must be changed for our
heavenly bodies
which will not die
but will live forever
Then the scripture will
be fulfilled
Death is swallowed up in Victory
So my dear ones
since future victory
is sure
Be strong and study
always abounding in the work
of the Lord
And we know that our labour
in the Lord
is not in vain
as it would be
if there were no resurrection
And this is the good news
that Christ died for our sins
according to the scriptures
And that he rose again
just as the prophets had said
For God so loved the world that
he gave his only begotten Son
that anyone who believes
in him shall not die
but has eternal life

Years later it was learnt
my release came
through a clerical error
What some might call a mistake
Not long after I was set free
Women my age were put to death
Yes
I am Corrie Ten Boom
In my 80's now
Some questions remain
But they are not to be feared
Our heavenly Father holds
all things in his hands
Even our questions
As for myself
in the year since Ravensbruck
The Lord has sent me to some
60 Countires
And I have told to anyone
who would listen
No pit is so deep
that he is not deeper still
With Jesus
even in our darkest moments
The Best remains
And the very best is yet to be
I promised my sister
I would tell it
And I tell you
Her Majesty
The Queen of the Netherlands
Fellow Hollanders
The Lights have gone out
of a free Holland
Where only 2 weeks ago there
was a free Nation of Men and Women
both up in the cherished tradition
of Christian Civilization
There is now stillness of death
Oppressed, Threatened
Watched on every side
by the power that would tear out
all hope from the soul of man
The unhappy people of Holland
can only Pray in silence
For those who have lost
their voice
but not their Hope
or their Vision
in the struggle against the
onslought of barbarism
Long Live..The Netherlands
Oh
Coffee
In the parlour
Attention! Attention!

I can see that
And Dutch Police men
assisting them
We do what we must
The radio is?
Upstairs in the Parlour
Get it
You have many beautiful
clocks here
B?varo?
The cabinet looks like
Sir Berringer's works
Yeah, 1886
You know watches..clocks?
My Father is a watch maker
I grew up in Reuverswinch
You look what you have grown into
What District?
Mattenbraw
Mattenbraw
Mattenbraw 1895
Magnificient
But you should have seen that watch
When it was taken in
The way some people treat a watch
No care...No
understanding
It was a gift on my 70th Birthday
To Grandpa Ten Boom
From the Children of Haarlem
26th of March 1935
Give him the horn
Any other radios in the house?
No, No
Good day then
I don't want anything too expensive
you understand?
Or just this one
7 Jewels in a Swiss factory
But all the craftsmen are German immigrants
It's 42 Guilders
It's for Aniversary
We could spend little more
Oh Well, then just this one
Bamendor works
uhh..Excuse me
Papa, Are you going out?
I will not caught around this
house and do nothing
Papa?
Excuse me
I'm Sorry
Yes
You..see
You could have it engraved
Or you could order it in
White Gold
The White Gold is 60
Residents in the occupied Netherland
must come forward according to
the following regulations
A Person is considered as being a Jew
Here's your star
Or part Jew
Next
if he had atleast one grandparent with
originary of full Jew
A grandparent is considered a Jew
if he belongs or has belonged
to the Jewish Church
You shouldn't be here
I have come for my Star
They are for Jews
You don't have a J
on your identity card
You could get it for me
If we all where them they would't
know the difference between
a Gentile and a Jew
Go home, please
Go home
I will wear my Star
And I wont take it off
Until God tells me to take it off
The God of Abraham and Isaac
Are my God, too
Who's the leader?
Hurry, Quick, turn around
Good Morning
Isn't it Miss Ten Boom?
Children, Stop here
The watch maker shop?
Ten Boom, Berteljorisstraat
Yea, you came for our radio
I wrote to my Father
I told him about your shop
Who are those boys?
Why are they being allowed to
torment that man?
They are young Dutch patriots
You might have heard public statements
derogatory to the Reich and our Fuhrer
They are expressing their
indignation
Patriots?
Who are these children?
I teach a class
I tell them about God
And this I used to
This will be the last one
Thanks to your new directive
concerning unauthorised meetings
Miss Ten Boom
The measures are temporary
When all this is over
When order has been restored
then all the Aryan peoples will live
together as brothers in our life
Men live together as brothers only
in the Kingdom of our Lord
Nowhere else
May we go?
Come..yea
Children..Children
Come! Come!
Have some cookies. Yea
Jan comes running for
the cookies
Lisa, yea
Carol..ah, yea!
Ha! Cookies?
I may not be able to be with you
for a while
But Jesus will still be there
Always watching over you
You see without Jesus
We are like this
Empty!
We can do nothing
But then Jesus fills us
with his Love
Then we are full
Yea!
We can do anything
We can do anything
Nothing serious, Pastor
Little bit dirt may be
It has been loosing
5 seconds a day
May be a good cleaning
You can do it in an hour?
While I am here
It really would be most helpful
Yea!
Good!
I will have an hour chat
with your papa
I hear he has been wearing
a Jewish Star
Stubbornness is the child of pride
And pride is the 1st of the 7 deadly sins
I will speak to him about it
I will need to be back at
the Church by 1:30
It will be ready
Dr Heemstra
Miss Ten Boom
Can only stay for a moment
We need milk for him
not soup
Good Lord...you don't intend
to keep it!
But you can't!
It's illegal!
You could all be arrested!
Aha..he is beautiful
Pastor
The Lord must have sent you here
You live in the country
There he could be safer
It's
Impossible
I have my own family to think of
We could loose everthing
for that child
Where would my Church be
without a Shepherd?
Ah, But
No, Betsie!
Pastor has decided
It is the Law!
And Christians must obey the Law!
Think what you are risking
for the sake of one Jewish baby
Will you report us, Pastor
If the baby must stay
a while with us
Corrie, we are meant to obey
the law of the State
If it does not go against
a higher law of God
Pastor, you want me to take
off my Star
Very well..I will not wear it
And we will keep the child
As a Christian
I am sorry that any man
must suffer
No matter who he is
what his race
But remember it is the Jews
Who gave us the Bible
and our Saviour!
It is on your heads
I'll pick up my watch tomorrow
Good Day, Ten Boom
Ladies
God forgive him
He did not mean it
How can that man call himself
a Christian?
If a mouse lives in the cookie jar
that doesn't necessarily make
him a cookie
What do we do?
He must have milk!
He should go to the country
Careful, He'll suffocate
No
Where would you send him?
God will know
Doors are opening all
over Holland
Last week we had a Dutch farm girl
and a peasant Baroness in the same bed
And now you will have our little
Moses into basket
Corrie, Please
Thank you
Willem!
He must not cry!
You certainly are organised
It's not the first time
We are away station
For a day or a week
You hid this from us, Willem?
German Jews before the occupation
and now the Dutch.
We do what we can
But the Nazis will not be satisfied
until there is not a Jew left in Europe
They have touched the apple of God's eye
I pity them
I hate them
Ah, Corrie
You can't hate anyone and
walk with the Lord
You could have told us
Willem, We might have helped
It is important toget our
little friend out of here
You would be hard pressed to explain
this sudden gift from heaven
Son, I will walk with you
a little way
Good Bye, Moses
We have been managing alright
Sometimes we have some potatoes
and occasionally eggs even!
So far we have not done too badly
And of course we
Is this the Dutch farm girl?
Grandpa!
Kik, Did you get anything?
The carbon from the waste basket
If you hold it out to the light
You can just make it out
Thank you
You see, Papa
We have a contact in the Gestapo
Hush!
He gives us a deportation list
whenever he can
Alright, Kik?
Bye, Grandpa
God Bless you, Kik
Steady it with one hand..Good!
Papa
Everyday now
They send 400 Jews from Amsterdam
Central Station
We reach those we can
Do we know anyone on the list?
I beg your pardon
No, please..I..I
I am sorry
to inconvenience you
May be he is a
Papa
There is a Gentleman upstairs
We have met
It was too late
He has no place to go
Papa, he is a Professor
Willem studied with him
They closed the university
All the Jewish teachers
were forced
Ah, Betsie
Good morning again, Professor
I appologise for the intrusion
Mr Ten Boom
Please
Thank You
Professor
Will you do us the honour
of asking the Blessing?
Baruch atah Adonai
Eloheinu Melech Haolam
Hamotzi lechem min haaretz
Amen
Amen
How fortunate Aunt Bep
had big feet
Yes.
Hmm..When were you born?
Born?
19th August 1885
Father's Name?
Ten Boom Casper
Mother?
Ten Boom Cornelia
Her maiden name?
Miss Ten Boom
If we are stopped, I
I could never pass as you
Professor Ziener
There are no if's in God's world
He brought you to this house
And he will see you
get safely away
This is your turn, Professor
Stay close with me
I'll try
It's wonderful, Professor!
We are almost there
Katrien!
Aunt Corrie!
Aunt Corrie!
Katrien!
I need your father's help
You should have seen Professor Ziener
getting into the boat
Katrien's father was attending him like
Queen Willemina boarding the yacht
Cornelia, do you think that you are
enjoying this a little too much?
Enjoying?
No, I was terrified
I've been able to laugh at it
all dressed up like Betsie
Oh..thank God
He kept the patrols away
Be sure to save a piece of cake
for Willem's friend
Friend?
It is all very mysterious
Someone he wants us to meet
What did Willem say when you
told him about Professor Ziener?
This is not some game you play
when the mood strikes
If you become involved in
this work
people will be forced to trust you
with their lives
I told you, Willem
We gave him my papers
We thought it out
very carefully
And if they questioned him
Was he supposed to sing soprano?
No!
He was going to have
Quincy throat
Excuse me
When you wander along the canal
taking someone out of there?
How did you know
that you could trust him?
I knew the man
And he knew what the Lord told me
Papa
You are the Master of this house
The Master of this house
Commands that we open the door
to anyone who knocks
We cannot afford to
ignore anyone
who seriously engages in our work
whatever the methods
Perhaps you will allow us
to assist your efforts
Thank you for the delivery, Mr Smit
Only for emergencies!
We have a contact at the exchange
But you can never be certain that
the line is not tapped
But you would expected to develop
your own sources
The less contact you
have with me
or with anyone else the better
Willem
We know half of Haarlem
We have friends everywhere!
Dear Lady
Knowing them is one thing
Knowing their political views
God knows!
And we will ask him to lead
We appreciate your concerns
Mr Sluring
We are not the most likely candidates
But since there is a need
we must do what we can to meet it
People have every kind of reason for
wanting to work in the underground
Excitement! perhaps
Mr Sluring
We've passed the age when excitement is
of any major concern in our lives
Truthfully
I would rather do anything else
I would like to close the door
and never open it again
Until this whole hideous
thing is over
But that's me
My Lord Jesus
Tells me to open the doors
to whatever comes
To give his love in what
ever way I can
And I will listen to his voice
Not mine
Do we pass inspection?
How many can you take?
There is...Mama's room
and there's your old room
And there is Aunt Anna's room
and Aunty Bep's room
and our 3 rooms..there is 7
And could share bed
if we have to
So our hotel is ready
for guests
Not quite
What you do if Gestapo comes?
You'll have a visitor
Jan Smit
Actually it's 2 houses
Over a 100 years ago
they were joined together
The one in the front is 2 rooms
deep and 1 room wide
The one at the back...here
Is 3 rooms
One on top of the other
Papa, This is Mr Smit
Mr Smit
We know some Smit's in Amsterdam
Are you the Smit family that
Papa, this is the man I told
you about
He has come to Inspect the house
Oh...a building Inspector?
Do you have offices on
Grote Haus street?
No Papa, he is not a building Inspector
and his name is not Smit
Not Smit?
Excuse us, Papa
We must locate the rest
of the house
The Parlour
Meal times...that's the
favourite hour for a raid
Watch your waste baskets
and astrays
It needs to be as high
as possible
They'll ask for the best chance to reach
a safe place while they search below
These are all bedrooms?
Yea
If the raid comes at night
They'll have to take their bedding
Make certain that the mattress
gets tugged
The favourite trick of the Gestapo
feeling for a warm spot on the bed
What's up there?
The roof is directly above
Who sleeps here?
I do
Perfect!
The Wall..will go
Here!
All clear
The sign is in the window
You see there is a distinctive marking
You can always sell
Flenstadht's work
Lovely day, Aunt Betsie
Peter, No!
I'll come for it Tuesday then
Good
Uhha. Ten Boom!
Frisian!
Such beautiful wood!
My Father made a case like this once
Oh, He spent months building it
polishing, oiling
It is just a shell
It needs complete
set of works
What price will you be asking?
Well, It will take some months
to be ready
Name a good price
Exorbitant even, I will pay
I like the Clock
I can afford the best!
But
It has no works
No....huh
Very well
Tuesday, Mr Ten Boom
Kik! Hurry!
Aunt Betsie, How many times
do you have to be told?
Take the sign out of the window
when it isn't safe!
Kik
I'm sorry..I'm sorry!
Grandpa...Look!
Tea, Mr Smit?
Ah, Thank you!
Yes, yes, yes..yes!
Good Morning
Milk!
Not Milk! Paint!
Paint?
Betsie! O Betsie!
Do you remember Fred Koonstra?
Of course, he read our
electric meter for years
His daughter was in our Bible class
Yea
Milk!
Paint
Paint!
Elsie Koonstra
I know her name I just have to
sort out few faces
She must be into her 20's by now
I heared yesterday that Fred Koonstra
works in the Food Office
Where?
They issue ration cards
I will be frank
we had some unexpected company
First, a baby
Then a man
and then last night, a couple
All Jews, Mr Koonstra
Why do you tell me?
There are only 3 of us
left at home now
My Father, My Sister and Me
And our ration cards are
just not enough
All ration cards are checked
Accounted for in dozen
differnt ways
Yea! Yea! I know I
Should not have asked you
I thought perhaps you
could advise me
The food office at Utrecht
was robbed last week
Men were caught
And shot
If it happened at noon and just the
record clerk and I were there
We would have to be tied and gagged
How many cards do you need?
A 100!
I know someone who
might do it
Papa, Now!
Papa!
Done
How long?
47 seconds!
They better not send us
anyone wider than me
Hallelujah!
Oh Lord! we ask Your blessing
on this hiding place
You can eat what you like!
Herren, It is not kosher
It's not a problem
Could you pass the potatoes
Please?
Oh..my God!
Go, go, go! go!
Hurry, Hurry
I will get one to put one
on each side
Your'e spilling it!
Corrie?
1 minute and 15 seconds
It's long enough to cuddle
the stomach
Peace be with this house and
all who dwell in it
The peace of the Lord God. Please come in
Don't stand outside and pray
I was told that you have accomodation
I will require a room for myself
quiet for study and preferably
with no children
Well, Can you take me in?
Well, yes, but there are many
questions that I have
I would like something to eat
Last meal was yesterday
Thank you! Good afternoon
This is a Kosher House?
Well, we try, we have many requests
that we are not able to handle
And there are no children?
Well, not at present but they
come and they go
Let them stay gone
while I am here
This is the way?
Yea! I regret
My contacts have told me
that most of you guests are transients that
they are on the way out of the country
Most of them, Yes
Well, I will not be
I am a teacher and Chief compere
for the congregation Beth Kodesh
I will not be driven away by grining sea
creatures their powers and their Reich
Who is this man?
A Patriach like Issac or Jacob
Father of Nations!
Papa, We have a new guest
This is my father, Mr Ten Boom
Papa, This is Mr
Wijnstok, Meyer Wijnstok
Pleased to meet you, Mr Ten Boom
God willing and the accomodation
proving suitable
I will be staying with you until
this nonsense is over
You're Welcome
Thank You
Miss Ten Boom
My room, please
Aunt Betsie!
My friend Jan wants a place
to stay for a while
He got away from the transport
By noon tomorrow he will have
new identity papers
But
Where did you get the uniforms?
Not all Germans are Nazis
Aunt Betsie
Is it Jan?
Corrie! Mr Wijnstock refuse
kitchen duty again
He has to study
If he wants to eat he must
have to share the work
Where is he now?
In the parlour
Oh can I have a
Oh, excuse me! I'm sorry
Corrie, he's already been upset today
He found out we call him
Eusie behind his back
We save his great dignity
He should be flattered
he reminds us of a scholar
But a Gentile scholar..he said
We should have at least
called him Josephus
Rules are rules!
Mr Wijnstok, my sister tells me
that you have refused
Miss Ten Boom, I am Praying
First you refused to work on Saturday
because that was the Sabbath
Then you refused to work on Sunday
because that was our day of rest
I was simply trying to pay respect
to the practise of this house
But today is Tuesday
Tell me, Miss Ten Boom
Why you've found it necessary
to give me a nickname?
We called you Eusie simply because
Eusie is a kind of name
you give to a pet cat
As a guest in your house am I no
longer entitled to respect
We are getting completely
out of subject
However as if it seems to give
you both satisfaction
Please have the courage to
use the name to my face
You want Eusie
Eusie it will be
Ladies!
Good Morning!
Good Morning!
Good Morning!
Good Morning!
After 7!
Just smell breakfast?
Yea
Betsie!
Betsie
Good Morning!
What is it?
Today is the 18th!
It's Mama and Papa's Aniversary!
Oh, no!
54 coupons for the pass
Tell Mr Klassen
It's for Papa
Corrie
Corrie
That blouse and that skirt
You just can't. Not today
But its a
You look like a flag
on a mud boat
You always liked this blouse
The blouse is beautiful
and you are beautiful
But the combination of you and
blouse and skirt
is impossible
Santa Lucia
Santa Lucia
Papa Ten Boom, You are a most
singular man
You are such a great man!
There must have been a great woman
Now, this is not exactly a song
it is more a
a Blessing
Its a...It means may
God bless you
May He protect you
May His face shine upon you
You want the whole of
Haarlem to hear you?
I did not ask to be born a Jew
I am sick of being expected to
bear the burdern of suffering
for the entire world
Because my Mother's name was..Stein
So you will be another Esau
Selling your birth rights
for a mash of porridge
I don't want your great
Judaic Heritage!
I dont want any part of your
Lord God Jehovah
It is no easy thing
to stand in the Palm of God's hand
Betsie, go to the door
Betsie, go!
Yes, yes I'll go
Yes, in a moment!
This is Beukers
Betsie, are you crazy?
The whole street can hear
your Jews singing
Oh! Thank you!
Tonight, on the overseas
service of the BBC
We have special greetings of love
to 2017
soldier Sidney Harris
from his Mother
And to 1433, Officer Phillip Munen
for his wife Doris
If anyone has seen or heard
of Alan Stokes
who was last seen in
Bournemouth?
His father is hospitalized in London
is seriously ill
Alan Stokes, can contact
with the Hospital Whitehall 9527
The number is Whitehall 9527
Our next programme is
a music played by
How can I ever remember them?
You used to pass
messages in Church
Kik!
Aunt Corrie
All these numbers
What do they mean?
Different things
instructions mostly
Instructions of what?
Well, there could be
a Pilot down somewhere
The numbers could be co-ordinates
for picking him up
Or may be for blowing up
a Nazi supply train
Things like that
Sabotage?
We could have blood on our hands
For Holland
Does that make it right?
Lying, stealing, killing?
What ever helps Holland is right
Need the message, Aunt Corrie
they are waiting
Will there be life when
this is over?
Miss Ten Boom?
Yea!
Thank you for being so prompt
I've heard a great deal about you
about your work
I am afraid it is my father's work
Not of watch making
Your other work
You mean the children?
We had to disband the class
Miss Ten Boom
Many of us who are in opposition to
publicise our feelings
are in great sympathy in
what you are doing
People call your house
God's Underground
Are you trying to trap me Sir?
Using the name of the
Lord is not the way
If it were a trap you would be down
the hall talking with the Gestapo
This will go no further
Then why did you send for me?
I want you
to pass this man's name on
to your freinds
Who is he?
A business man
He betrays people to the Gestapo
The going rate is 75 guilders a head
Just pass it on
They'll take care of him
If I could do what you ask
It would be same as killing him myself
I can only put him in the
hands of the Lord
And ask the Lord to
reach his heart
Do that, Miss Ten Boom
The demons are out tonight?
I would assume you could sleep
to anything
Some Tea?
Thank you
You Know, Miss Ten Boom
You and I are very much alike
Stubborn
Tough
Determined
You still don't do
your share of the work
Yea..same, Yes
But I..I am also
So..Are you in!
Did you know that
I have a wife and small son?
Precisely, I do not choose to
expose myself
They got away
At least I think they did
I will not go around
like the others
begging for sympathy
and reassurance
We know so little about each other
you are busy yourself
with our needs
Surely you have some needs
of your own
It's people like us
Miss Ten Boom
Raging torrents behind
the stubborn jaw
No torrents
Might say my life has
been..boring
Till all this?
Until all this.
Was marriage never considered for
the daughter's of Ten Boom?
Betsie was always unwell
She was told she could not
bear children
so she choose not to marry
And you?
I had a young man
but I was not cut from fine enough
cloth for his family
I lacked grace
Still
I was the first woman to be
licensed watch maker in Holland
And you have your Father
and you have your Religion
Is it enough?
More than enough
God has been good to me
Yes
I think he has
And I think
I shall be going back to my bed
I will pray for your family
Don't think that you'll get me to
peel potatoes, Miss Ten Boom
Good Morning
Miss Ten Boom?
Yea?
My name is Vogel
Jan Vogel
I came all the way, from Ermelo
You have a watch that needs a repair?
I need 600 Guilders
I've heared that you have
certain contacts
I don't understand
It's my wife
She has been arrested
She is Jewish
That's a lot of money
There is a police man who will
arrange everything for 600 Guilders
And she'll need a place to hide
What now?
Someone is calling for this
within the hour
Mr Jan Vogel
He is from Ermelo
His wife has been taken
It's for a bribe
Oh...You are impossible
Now hear
I will take care of it
Now will you please go to bed?
But Willem and Tine are coming
You can come down later
Be sure to call
I will
And use the steam kettle!
Yea, Yea
I felt it today the Lord would
have us read from Romans Chapter 8
What then can seperate
us from Christ love?
Can hardship or calamity can
persecution or abuse
if we are hungry or poor
or in danger?
or threatened with death, does
that mean that God has deserted us..No?
Despite all this
We have overwhelming victory
through Christ who loves us
For I am convinced that neither
death nor life
nor the powers of heaven nor
the powers of hell itself
can keep God's love from us
Nothing in the world as it is
Or the worlds, that it shall be
in the forces of the Universe
in all creation will ever be
able to seperate us
Along the side door
Come on
All Upstairs!
Corrie!
Yea, I am sorry we are closed
until 2 O'clock
Miss Ten Boom...I
I have an appointment with you sister
Mr Vogel?
I need the money, now!
Yes, Of course I'll get it
Please! Miss Ten Boom
To your places, everyone!
Come on, Hurry up!
Please, Miss Ten Boom
Yes..Yes in a moment!
I am just collecting it
Upstairs, I'll take the top!
Miss Ten Boom?
Ten Boom, Elizabeth
Where do you hide your ration cards?
I don't know what you
are talking about?
Where are the Jews?
What Jews?
Lord Jesus, help me!
Where are the Jews?
Saviour save me
Where is the secret room?
Corrie!
This must stop!
There's been no wrong
done in this house
Then what are you doing
with all these ration cards?
Feeding an Army?
What does it say in the book of
your's about obeying the Government?
There comes a time
When we must choose between
God and man
Keep moving
Name?
Cornelia

Name?
Ten Boom, Casper
Papa!

God is with us
Ten Boom
Give me your word you'll
behave yourself
And you can die in your bed
old man..where you belong
If I stay behind
I will open my door to anyone
who knocks for help
Close it up
Seal the House
Out! Out! Out!
Corrie, take my hand
My sister she needs a doctor
Move on!
Papa!
Papa!
God be with you, Papa!
And with you all, my daughters!
I have to get in there
Fever down?
You have them worried
Typhus
Yesterday's ration
I saved it for you
Listen, I have family here
My sister, my brother
My father, my nephew
the Ten Boom family
Can you find out where they are?
Maybe, listen
I can get soap
aspirin, cigarettes
You can pay me when you start
getting mail
Soap 25 Guilders, Aspirin 50
Cigarettes, 100
Almost anything
Can you get me a Bible?
It's Kik! It's safe now
Oh, thank God!
Shh...Over the roof, quickly
The roof!
Where are you family?
Hurry!
The Ten Boom's?
Still in prision
That's all we know
Mama made it cover it on my bed
It was in a truso
The painting by the mirror is a
Do not go!
Stay
Please
They think I have to feed you
Everybody is been released
Everybody?
Except your sister Betsie
And your father too, I think
I am not sure
O! Thank you, Lord!
O Lord, Thank you!
Here's a bread from the
warden's bakery...Fresh!
O Lord
You have done wonders
Don't I get little credit?
Lord, Bless this Angel
Bless you!
Do you think you can last here
doing that...Praying?
The only way to live here is to hate
Hate can put you in a worse
prison than this
I have been 3 years in this hole
I worked my way to a position
I live to get the swine
who betrayed me
And that's 75 Guilders!
Are you cold?
It seems reasonably pleasant
I'm Sorry
Now you are here for the
violation of rationing rules
Would you mind telling me
where you got these extra ration cards?
Sometimes they just appeared
What do you mean...appear?
Pushed under the door
Sometimes they were handed
to me in the market
By whom?
By Mr Smit
Mr Jan Smit?
Would you tell me all your
other activities?
My sister and I held Bible classes
until such meetings were forbidden
And we worked with retarded children
How?
Excuse me?
How would you work with them?
We taught them about God
What a waste!
If you wanted converts
surely one normal person is
worth all the halfers in the world
In the eyes of God one simple child
may be worth more than
A watch maker's daughter?
Perhaps
But I know he keeps me
always in his sight
You actually believe that?
I beleive that you are in his
sight too..Lieutenant
Tell me, Miss Ten Boom
How can you believe in a God
Who lets an old man die in prison?
his body forgotten somewhere
in a pauper's grave?
My Father?
I understand he was taken ill
after about 10 days
He was taken to hospital in the Hague
Unfortunately
there were no beds available
He seemingly died in the hallway
Some failure of organisation
Under such circumstances when
no one claims the body
It is difficult to trace
I know where my Father is...Lieutenant
That will be all
Miss Ten Boom
You have news from home

Those who cannot work report
to sick call
Don't say I better be sick!
You will receive one half pound
of bread
One half liter of soup per day
Once on observation upon
which your life depends
There is only one road to freedom
Work!
Get it up!
Hold them in!
You're Dutch?
Some of my people are Dutch
On my Mother's side
You are not the only one suprised
to be here
I thought I would be working
at re-allocation center
Refugees
Supplies are extremely limited
And accurate record is essential
I know my way around hospitals
I was kind of nurse once
I assume that is why you are
assigned here
I'm a midwife
I brought Jewish babies
into the world
You are not to touch
the things in here
Soap, Vitamins, Painkillers
Yeast, Quinine
I always have the key
to this cupboard
However
You will find it that I
often forget to lockup
I hope you understand
66685
Thank you, Lord!
He don't expect thanks
for this
It's warm!
I am thankful for every moment
we can be together
We can at least lie down tonight
There has to be a plan, Corrie
I won't be grateful for the lice
God doesn't make mistakes
How is it it's the hospital?
Is it though your temperature
has to be above 104 to be admitted?
That's the rule
There is a guard in the laundry
you can get underwear for a price
What does she want?
Bread rations
Oh, Don't cut too much
What you want hair or lice?
You'll learn to love the
little darlings
The guards won't step foot
in this lice pit
Pass the door we can do anything
Even Lice!

Somebody over slept
The loony
Ah, Corrie
We are in Hell!
Why do they keep us so long?
To break us
Betsie, Look!
I was certain no one would die
We would all go home
Those days on the train
The Lord seemed to promise
How could I have misunderstood?
Dear Father, help me
Don't let me listen to my voice
and think it's yours!
O, Jesus
Show me how to live in this place
You too love him?
Put these in the mattress
Not now! It's Yeast
And don't go spooning it around
I can never get enough for everybody
This method consisted of painting
on the small dots
of pure colours on the canvas
And colour blending was achieved
by placing dot of different
colours next to each other
And then, from a distance
the 2 colours
appear blended into
one single new colour
Jesus Christ has made it possible
For us we need to have direct access
There is a repeat in that point
In the 2nd movement?
There is a ritardando at the end of 3rd part
Ta..da..da
Stand up for Jesus ye soldiers of the Cross
Lift high his
Royal banner
You are quite wrong retardando is later
it must not suffer loss
Attention! Attention!
No Room!
No Room!
You find room
German whores
We ran them through the hospital
Infected
Pass the yellow badge?
Race Defiler
go to be with the Slavic labourer
She is just a child
You trod on my foot!
Don't exert yourself, Countess
It's all I can carry
Anymore and I'll have to
stop altogether
I decide who stops!
Betsie!
I decide who stops!
No!
Don't hate, Corrie
Don't hate
I'll first of all warm this
You owe 2 day's bread!
I will pay you next week
No!
Don't!
Jesus knows everything we feel
He promised that when 2 or 3
get together in his name
He would be there with them
Even in Ravensbruck!
In our lives, before
we would have been seperated
by so much
But here, all that has been
stripped away
And we see the truth
Jesus in each one of us
Light in this darkness
And we can praise him together
Father
Bless the German People
From your Great Storehouse of love
Forgive them for Jesus sake
Do not hold this place to the judge!
Forgive them
Even before they
know to ask
2 days bread I need
I'll give you one
2...Who else you know
has the Scarf!
I will give you one now, one tomorrow
I will break you
Come on, rub it!
Rub it in!
A whole transport of Poles
came in last night
Vulture
You should know
I have an underwear
Eyes front!
It's wool
No!
2 days bread ration
My comb
I'll collect later
Nothing for the comb
Rub hardly!
Rub it
Thank You
O! the sky is so peaceful
You politicals don't have anything
to do with trash
We're all trash
I took it from the tray
In the infirmary
Continue, Continue!
I thought you are smart
You called attention to
yourself in a line
Imbecile! Could you not wait until
you're back in the block
You are such a greedy fool?
You German Cow!
You know I should let them kill
You great lumbering, Imprest?vel!
You would like to go to the
No light, no water
You will never do anything
like stupid again!
Never!
Now I...
I'll dress your hand
Comfort the frightened
help the weak
be patient with everyone
do not repay evil for evil
but always try to do good
to one another
Always rejoice
Pray constantly
give thanks in all circumstances
For this is the will of God
in Jesus Christ
And to the mindless the word
sound so comforting
In this place it's mockery!
God didn't make this place...Man did!
But He has power
Surely he could stop them
Unless of course, he is the sadist
No! he is Love, all Love
Then he is Impotent
You can't have it both ways my dear!
You see what is around you
We see another world
Just as real
Our life with God
Everyday
It gets deeper and stronger
You'll think that you can't exist
side by side but, we know it do
We live them both
It's enough knowing that we
are so much done
moving from nothing to nothing
But you must believe your God
smells that stench from
those chimneys
and refuses to do anything
If only
you could know his love
I am Maria Wrochek
1st violinist of the
Warsaw Symphony Orchestra
Did your God will this?
We cannot answer
All I can say is, that the same
God you are accusing
came and lived in the
midst of our World
He was Beaten
And he was mocked
and he died on a Cross
And he did it for love
for us
And why do you think
your God of love sent you here?
To obey him
If you know him
you don't have to know why
First you take juice of 4 oranges
and half a cream
to the cup of sugar
I only use 3 quaters of the cup
You should use a full cup
Then you put peels aside for
grating and you whip the cream
What kind of cook are you?
You forgot the eggs
Do your own recipe, then

Don't shut me out..please
You know you can only give it to Jesus
Do you think I haven't prayed?
But I hate them

We can't be more than
what we are
Only Jesus can free us
from ourselves
from whatever happens

Water
Could I sleep here?
Just tonight?
It's so cold
This way we can have 2 blankets
If God loved Betsie so much
Why?
Suffering does not mean that
God has stopped loving us
Sometimes
we have to accept things
we do not understand
I love Betsie
And I love you!
This is the sister
Corrie, you must look
Otherwise you'll never know
She is Beautiful
Betsie!
We should do great many things
for others
And we must go everywhere
We must tell people
that no pit is so deep
that he is not deeper still
They will believe us
because we were here
Betsie talked about heaven like
she already been there. Yea
No one would wish her back
Read for Betsie
Read for all of us
Are we not that
our earthly bodies
those we have now
it will die
must be changed for our
heavenly bodies
which will not die
but will live forever
Then the scripture will
be fulfilled
Death is swallowed up in Victory
So my dear ones
since future victory
is sure
Be strong and study
always abounding in the work
of the Lord
And we know that our labour
in the Lord
is not in vain
as it would be
if there were no resurrection
And this is the good news
that Christ died for our sins
according to the scriptures
And that he rose again
just as the prophets had said
For God so loved the world that
he gave his only begotten Son
that anyone who believes
in him shall not die
but has eternal life

Papa?
Yes, Corrie?
What is it like to die?

So with death
When the time comes
Our wise Heavenly Father
will give the strength you need

Released, Ravensbruck

Years later it was learnt
my release came
through a clerical error
What some might call a mistake
Not long after I was set free
Women my age were put to death
Yes
I am Corrie Ten Boom
In my 80's now
Some questions remain
But they are not to be feared
Our heavenly Father holds
all things in his hands
Even our questions
As for myself
in the year since Ravensbruck
The Lord has sent me to some
60 Countires
And I have told to anyone
who would listen
No pit is so deep
that he is not deeper still
With Jesus
even in our darkest moments
The Best remains
And the very best is yet to be
I promised my sister
I would tell it
And I tell you
