Corrie Ten Boom

Are Jews Gods People

In 1940 Hitler invade Holland the Netherlands, the Jews were searched out and taken to concentration camps for extermination. Where was God in all this you may ask!  My answer to you would be, "what possess people to carry out such inhumane acts, has nothing to do with God but the devil"

We decide our destinies by the way we live our lives as Christians. This is where my story starts when talking about the Ten Boom Family.

My mother talked about Corrie Ten Boom her story was one of love and forgiveness, Corrie traveled the world sharing her testimony about her time in Ravensbruck  concentration camp. Betsie her sister and their Father Casper  were taken from their shop, and imprisoned for having too many 'food stamps'. There real crime was for hiding the Jewish people but they had no evidence to prove this 'crime.

It may seem ancient or an old fashioned practice which is so out of date or inconceivable to some people that a race of people could be killed just because of their nationality but these are historical true facts.

I visited the room where the Jews were hidden,. Its almost unbelievable that people were cooped up in such a small space, in the dark being conscious that any noise they may could mean their death.

In prison Corrie Ten Boom developed a much deeper relationship with God, she had to totally surrender, her sister Betsie stated that even the 'lice' have a God purpose, the reason being was that they protected them from molestation and abuse from the guards.

The Hiding Place is a great historical film to watch you will see forgiveness in action, and the true meaning of Christianity. One of my favorite saying in the film came from Mr Casper Ten Boom when realizing that not all who claim to know Christ really do, He said " If a mouse lives in the cookie jar it doesn't necessarily make him a cookie". Ten days after Capers  Ten Boom incarceration  died and just days before Corries release on 16 December 1944.

This is a  good film to watch learn about what it was like for people to killed for there culture and pray that it never has to be part of us as humans.
