Curiosità

The Hiding Place is a 1975 film based on the autobiographical novel The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom. The film recounts the ten Boom family's experiences in the Netherlands as they provide a hiding place for Jewish refugees during the Holocaust, which leads to their arrest and imprisonment in the Ravensbrück concentration camp.

Production

The film was produced by World Wide Pictures, the motion-picture ministry of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. According to Billy Graham's autobiography, his wife, Ruth Graham, met Corrie ten Boom in Switzerland and was so impressed by her story that she recommended it to authors John and Elizabeth Sherrill. The Sherrills subsequently co-wrote the book The Hiding Place with ten Boom.
