Outside Reading #4

In the book The Hiding Place the main character and author of the book Corrie Ten Boom have run into some problems. One problem is the officer in her city knows that she is hiding Jews in her house. The officer calls her in and discusses the issue. Then a stranger comes the Corries house about some friends who apparently are in a life and death situation. Pretty soon the police in knocking on the door and raiding the house for the Jews. Luckily the Jews made it to the secret room moments before the Germans enter. Corrie then gets beat and basically tortured for the location of the Jews she is hiding. The quote, "The man struck me hard acoss the face" (129 Ten Boom) explains the torture she is receiving for not giving up information. Another problem was Corrie couldn't get the sign out of the window to warn people part of the 'underground' that it was not safe to enter. The people were walking into a trap for being arrested. Then the group moves to the police station and a quote, "The walk took only a minute, but by the time we got inside the double doors of the police station I was shaking with cold" (133 Ten Boom) Also in the section I just read were some pictures of Corrie Ten Boom and here home, the streets and her suffering on her journey through the camps. By the pictures were some important quotes that tell her story in a couple of lines.
