The inspiring true story of Holocaust survivor Corrie ten Boom. With the WWII Nazi invasion of Holland, the ten Boom family joins the underground resistance to help save persecuted Jewish families. But when they are arrested and imprisoned in concentration camps themselves, they're left with nothing to cling to but their faith.
Acting: 5.0; Theme: 5.0; Content: 4.5; Language: 5.0; Overall: 5.0

This film is the biographical and historical account of the lives of the Ten Boom family. When Holland is attacked and taken over by Germany, the Ten Boom family was greatly affected, as was so many others by the Nazi regime. The Ten Boom family, including Papa (Arthur O'Connell), Betsie (Julie Harris), Corrie (Jeannette Clift), Willem (Robert Rietti), Peter (Paul Henley), and Kik (Richard Wren), make the decision to house show more Jews who are escaping persecution and death from the evil German occupation. Highly recommend.
