Biography of the simple single woman who showed dynamic faith and trust in God as she obeyed Him in hidning Jewish people during the occupation of Holland during World War II. This courage and determination followed her through concentration camps and in later years as she spoke to thousands in the latter part of the twentieth century, with a message of God's keeping power, and our need to forgive and love others.
