Who was the Netherlands’ first licensed female watchmaker? Her family helped rescue hundreds of Jews from the Nazis during World War II, and she paid the price for her compassion.

Director James F. Collier’s film “The Hiding Place” (1975) is the true story of Corrie ten Boom. Set in 1940s Haarlem, North Holland, it draws on Corrie’s 1971 autobiographical book of the same name and tells her true story.
