About the Title: Holland is under Nazi control... Thousands of Jewish refugees... One extraordinary family.

 

An old watchmaker in Holland and his two daughters, Corrie and Betsie. Simple, ordinary people, yet these three unlikely heroes became the center of a major underground operation—hiding refugees from the occupying Germans. These kindly law-abiding people broke every law in the book to save the lives of the men, women and children being hunted by the Nazis. Their home became a hiding place, but the cost of their bravery was betrayal; and in the dreaded Ravensbruck concentration camp, they had to create another hiding place for those around them.

 

Based on the book by Corrie ten Boom with John and Elizabeth Sherrill, this special presentation of The Hiding Place was recorded in London and Holland—in the actual house in Haarlem where the ten Boom family sheltered refugees. With cinematic sound and an original score, a host of Britain's leading actors (Wendy Craig, Alec McCowen and Isla Blair) capture the drama of this amazing true story.
