This book is #37 given to Immanuel Library in memory f Mrs. Julia Anna tTotz by Mr. & s Robert Riedel April 1976 We have two differnt Hiding Place books

Her story has her father and sisters having a hiding place for persecuted Jews during WWII and Nazi occupation in Holland. Since then together with a committee of the German Lutheran Church, Corrie opened the camp in Darmstadt in 1946 as a home and place 1946 as a home and place of renewal. It functioned in he way until 1960 when it was torn down to make room for new construction in a thriving new Germany. Corrie went to be with her Lord on April 15, 1983 at the age of 91.

First sentence: It was 1937, just three years before Hitler and his Nazis invaded Holland. It was the 100th birthday party of ten Boom Watches--our little watch shop in Old Haarlem. Although the party was for the shop, the affection of a city was for father. Casper Ten Boom. They called him Haarlem's Grand Old Man.

This book adapts Corrie ten Boom's autobiography The Hiding Place into a graphic novel of the same name.

Is The Hiding Place memoir worth reading? Yes. Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes.
Is The Hiding Place movie adaptation worth watching? YES. Definitely.
Is The Hiding Place graphic novel memoir worth reading? Definitely. Especially, especially if it helps readers envision the times and events. Some readers respond more to graphic novels, find them easier to read, to digest. It may be "easier" to "hand-sell" (think Reading Rainbow) a graphic novel than a traditional book, a nonfiction memoir at that.
Does the graphic novel do a good job adapting the original? While I haven't read them close together in time to compare perfectly, as I was reading the graphic novel, I was reminded of scenes from the memoir. I don't recall any memorable, significant scenes from the memoir being left out OR being changed or altered. All the highlights, if you will, of the original can be found in the graphic novel adaptation. Memories not being perfect, however, I haven't examined the two close enough to say with absolute certainty that the two are essentially telling the exact same story.

I do recommend reading the original OR reading the graphic novel--or both. I do recommend watching the movie. ( )

One of the best biographies I've ever read. Corrie Ten Boom is one of the most inspirational women this world has seen, and this book does a great job of expressing that. I highly recommend it. ( )

Read this in high school. ( )
