About the Author:

Cornelia Arnolda Johanna "Corrie" ten Boom (15 April 1892 – 15 April 1983) was a Dutch watchmaker and later a writer who worked with her father Casper ten Boom and other family members to help many Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust during World War II by hiding them in her home. They were caught and she was arrested and sent to Ravensbrück concentration camp. Her most famous book, The Hiding Place, is a biography that recounts the story of her family's efforts and how ten Boom found hope while imprisoned at the concentration camp.

Hungarian Summary:

A békés, polgári Hollandia a horogkeresztes rémuralom színterévé válik, az egyszerű órásmesternőből a földalatti ellenállás szervezője, üldözöttek vakmerő bújtatója lesz, az ódon családi ház hálószobájából felfedezhetetlen búvóhely készül… Corrie ten Boom lebilincselő életrajzának olvasása közben végig ott bujkál bennünk a legizgalmasabb kérdés: honnan volt annyi bátorság, lelki és fizikai erő ebben a legyőzhetetlen nőben, hogy az egész élete egy dologról beszéljen: „az öröm mélyebbre hatol, mint a kétségbeesés”?

English Summary:

The True Story of a Real-Life Hero
It's World War II. Darkness has fallen over Europe as the Nazis spread hatred, fear and war across the globe. But on a quiet city corner in the Netherlands, one woman fights against the darkness. 
In her quiet watchmaking shop, she and her family risk their lives to hide Jews, and others hunted by the Nazis, in a secret room, a "hiding place" that they built in the old building.
One day, however, Corrie and her family are betrayed. They're captured and sent to the notorious Nazi concentration camps to die. Yet even in that darkest of places, Corrie still fights.
This is her story--and the story of how faith, hope and love ultimately triumphed over unthinkable evil
