My desire to learn more about European History was already aroused by a visit to Viaden castle in Luxembourg. This book increased that desire and created a special interest in the WWI to WWII time period. I was surprised to learn that she had written several other books before this one. I was impressed by her sharing about Jesus during her imprisonment, and her humanitarian activities after release. I read this one ages ago… This is the true story of Corrie ten Boom and her family who lived in the Netherlands during the Nazi occupation. She, her sister Betsie, and their elderly father were watchmakers. They lived a quiet life… until the Nazi invasion. The family became part of the Dutch underground and hid Jewish families in a secret room built for that purpose in their home. Corrie, Betsie, and their father were sent to concentration camps. Only Corrie survived. She was released due to a clerical error. Corrie used to say, “There is no pit so deep that God's love is not deeper still,” which was something Betsie said to her not long before she died in the camp. This is a heartbreaking story, but at the same time, a beautiful story of faith and of God’s grace.

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. ( )
