FROM THE DIRECTOR

The Hiding Place might be thought of as a work which addresses one of the world’s oldest problems – the problem which appears to us as occasions of unmerited suffering.  I say, “appears to us” because such occurrences cause us to question why, and the answer is often elusive. The Hebrew Book of Job, which is counted among the world’s most magnificent pieces of literature, is an excellent example of how one man attempted to understand the evil that befell him. The Hiding Place is important because it raises in our minds the same question. But the events which framed this story occurred in our time and some of the people who experienced them lived to tell us of their experiences. What I have found most interesting about this story is that neither Corrie Ten Boom, nor her sister Betsie, appear to ask why this happened to them. Instead, they focused on what good could be achieved in the midst of the evil they experienced. Like the Book of Job, the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen are revealed at the end of the trial. The scope of our vision is widened, and while it must be confessed that much remains a mystery, there is perspective that provides increased understanding.
