By Wireless from the BBC

Her Majesty The Queen of the Netherlands

Fellow Hollanders

The Lights have gone out of a free Holland

Where only 2 weeks ago there was a free Nation of Men and Women

both up in the cherished tradition of Christian Civilization

There is now stillness of death

Oppressed, Threatened

Watched on every side

by the power that would tear out all hope from the soul of man

The unhappy people of Holland can only Pray in silence

For those who have lost their voice

but not their Hope or their Vision

in the struggle against the onslought of barbarism

Long Live..The Netherlands

Oh Coffee

In the parlour

Attention! Attention!

By the order of the Reich Commissioner

all citizens are ordered to surrender their radios

and all other wireless equipments

Attention! Attention!

By the order of the Reich Commissioner

all citizens are ordered to surrender their radios

and all other wireless equipments

Good Morning MrTen Boom

I appologize for the intrusion

They are collecting all radios I can see that

And Dutch Police men assisting them

We do what we must

The radio is? Upstairs in the Parlour

Get it

You have many beautiful clocks here

B�varo?

The cabinet looks like Sir Berringer's works

Yeah, 1886

You know watches..clocks?

My Father is a watch maker

I grew up in Reuverswinch

You look what you have grown into

What District? Mattenbraw

Mattenbraw

Mattenbraw 1895

Magnificient But you should have seen that watch

When it was taken in

The way some people treat a watch No care...No

understanding

It was a gift on my 70th Birthday

To Grandpa Ten Boom From the Children of Haarlem

26th of March 1935

Give him the horn

Any other radios in the house? No, No

Good day then

I don't want anything too expensive you understand?

Or just this one

7 Jewels in a Swiss factory

But all the craftsmen are German immigrants It's 42 Guilders

It's for Aniversary We could spend little more

Oh Well, then just this one

Bamendor works uhh..Excuse me

Papa, Are you going out?

I will not caught around this house and do nothing

Papa?

Excuse me

I'm Sorry

Yes

You..see

You could have it engraved

Or you could order it in White Gold

The White Gold is 60

Residents in the occupied Netherland

must come forward according to the following regulations

A Person is considered as being a Jew Here's your star

Or part Jew Next

if he had atleast one grandparent with originary of full Jew

A grandparent is considered a Jew

if he belongs or has belonged to the Jewish Church

You shouldn't be here

I have come for my Star

They are for Jews

You don't have a J on your identity card

You could get it for me

If we all where them they would't know the difference between

a Gentile and a Jew

Go home, please

Go home

I will wear my Star

And I wont take it off Until God tells me to take it off

The God of Abraham and Isaac

Are my God, too

Who's the leader?

Hurry, Quick, turn around

Good Morning

Isn't it Miss Ten Boom?

Children, Stop here

The watch maker shop?

Ten Boom, Berteljorisstraat

Yea, you came for our radio

I wrote to my Father

I told him about your shop Who are those boys?

Why are they being allowed to torment that man?

They are young Dutch patriots

You might have heard public statements derogatory to the Reich and our Fuhrer

They are expressing their indignation

Patriots?

Who are these children?

I teach a class

I tell them about God

And this I used to

This will be the last one

Thanks to your new directive concerning unauthorised meetings

Miss Ten Boom The measures are temporary

When all this is over When order has been restored

then all the Aryan peoples will live together as brothers in our life

Men live together as brothers only in the Kingdom of our Lord

Nowhere else

May we go?

Come..yea

Children..Children

Come! Come!

Have some cookies. Yea

Jan comes running for the cookies

Lisa, yea

Carol..ah, yea!

Ha! Cookies?

I may not be able to be with you for a while

But Jesus will still be there

Always watching over you

You see without Jesus

We are like this

Empty!

We can do nothing

But then Jesus fills us

with his Love

Then we are full Yea!

We can do anything

We can do anything

Nothing serious, Pastor Little bit dirt may be

It has been loosing 5 seconds a day

May be a good cleaning

You can do it in an hour?

While I am here

It really would be most helpful

Yea!

Good!

I will have an hour chat with your papa

I hear he has been wearing a Jewish Star

Stubbornness is the child of pride And pride is the 1st of the 7 deadly sins

I will speak to him about it

I will need to be back at the Church by 1:30

It will be ready

Dr Heemstra

Miss Ten Boom

Can only stay for a moment

We need milk for him not soup

Good Lord...you don't intend to keep it!

But you can't!

It's illegal!

You could all be arrested!

Aha..he is beautiful

Pastor

The Lord must have sent you here

You live in the country

There he could be safer

It's

Impossible

I have my own family to think of

We could loose everthing for that child

Where would my Church be without a Shepherd?

Ah, But No, Betsie!

Pastor has decided

It is the Law! And Christians must obey the Law!

Think what you are risking

for the sake of one Jewish baby

Will you report us, Pastor

If the baby must stay a while with us

Corrie, we are meant to obey the law of the State

If it does not go against a higher law of God

Pastor, you want me to take off my Star

Very well..I will not wear it

And we will keep the child

As a Christian

I am sorry that any man must suffer

No matter who he is what his race

But remember it is the Jews Who gave us the Bible

and our Saviour!

It is on your heads

I'll pick up my watch tomorrow

Good Day, Ten Boom

Ladies

God forgive him He did not mean it

How can that man call himself a Christian?

If a mouse lives in the cookie jar

that doesn't necessarily make him a cookie

What do we do?

He must have milk! He should go to the country

Careful, He'll suffocate No

Where would you send him? God will know

Doors are opening all over Holland

Last week we had a Dutch farm girl and a peasant Baroness in the same bed

And now you will have our little Moses into basket

Corrie, Please

Thank you

Willem! He must not cry!

You certainly are organised It's not the first time

We are away station

For a day or a week

You hid this from us, Willem?

German Jews before the occupation and now the Dutch.

We do what we can

But the Nazis will not be satisfied until there is not a Jew left in Europe

They have touched the apple of God's eye I pity them

I hate them Ah, Corrie

You can't hate anyone and walk with the Lord

You could have told us Willem, We might have helped

It is important toget our little friend out of here

You would be hard pressed to explain this sudden gift from heaven

Son, I will walk with you a little way

Good Bye, Moses

We have been managing alright Sometimes we have some potatoes

and occasionally eggs even!

So far we have not done too badly And of course we

Is this the Dutch farm girl? Grandpa!

Kik, Did you get anything?

The carbon from the waste basket

If you hold it out to the light You can just make it out

Thank you

You see, Papa

We have a contact in the Gestapo Hush!

He gives us a deportation list whenever he can

Alright, Kik?

Bye, Grandpa

God Bless you, Kik Steady it with one hand..Good!

Papa

Everyday now

They send 400 Jews from Amsterdam Central Station

We reach those we can

Do we know anyone on the list?

I beg your pardon No, please..I..I

I am sorry

to inconvenience you

May be he is a

Papa There is a Gentleman upstairs

We have met

It was too late He has no place to go

Papa, he is a Professor

Willem studied with him They closed the university

All the Jewish teachers were forced

Ah, Betsie

Good morning again, Professor

I appologise for the intrusion Mr Ten Boom

Please

Thank You

Professor

Will you do us the honour of asking the Blessing?

Baruch atah Adonai

Eloheinu Melech Haolam

Hamotzi lechem min haaretz

Amen

Amen

How fortunate Aunt Bep had big feet

Yes.

Hmm..When were you born?

Born?

19th August 1885

Father's Name?

Ten Boom Casper

Mother?

Ten Boom Cornelia

Her maiden name?

Miss Ten Boom

If we are stopped, I

I could never pass as you

Professor Ziener

There are no if's in God's world

He brought you to this house

And he will see you get safely away

This is your turn, Professor Stay close with me

I'll try

It's wonderful, Professor! We are almost there

Katrien! Aunt Corrie!

Aunt Corrie! Katrien!

I need your father's help

You should have seen Professor Ziener getting into the boat

Katrien's father was attending him like Queen Willemina boarding the yacht

Cornelia, do you think that you are enjoying this a little too much?

Enjoying?

No, I was terrified

I've been able to laugh at it all dressed up like Betsie

Oh..thank God He kept the patrols away

Be sure to save a piece of cake for Willem's friend

Friend?

It is all very mysterious

Someone he wants us to meet

What did Willem say when you told him about Professor Ziener?

This is not some game you play when the mood strikes

If you become involved in this work

people will be forced to trust you with their lives

I told you, Willem We gave him my papers

We thought it out very carefully

And if they questioned him

Was he supposed to sing soprano?

No!

He was going to have Quincy throat

Excuse me

When you wander along the canal taking someone out of there?

How did you know that you could trust him?

I knew the man

And he knew what the Lord told me

Papa

You are the Master of this house

The Master of this house

Commands that we open the door to anyone who knocks

We cannot afford to ignore anyone

who seriously engages in our work whatever the methods

Perhaps you will allow us to assist your efforts

Thank you for the delivery, Mr Smit

Only for emergencies!

We have a contact at the exchange

But you can never be certain that the line is not tapped

But you would expected to develop your own sources

The less contact you have with me

or with anyone else the better

Willem We know half of Haarlem

We have friends everywhere!

Dear Lady Knowing them is one thing

Knowing their political views God knows!

And we will ask him to lead

We appreciate your concerns Mr Sluring

We are not the most likely candidates

But since there is a need we must do what we can to meet it

People have every kind of reason for wanting to work in the underground

Excitement! perhaps

Mr Sluring

We've passed the age when excitement is of any major concern in our lives

Truthfully

I would rather do anything else

I would like to close the door and never open it again

Until this whole hideous thing is over

But that's me

My Lord Jesus

Tells me to open the doors to whatever comes

To give his love in what ever way I can

And I will listen to his voice

Not mine

Do we pass inspection?

How many can you take?

There is...Mama's room and there's your old room

And there is Aunt Anna's room and Aunty Bep's room

and our 3 rooms..there is 7

And could share bed if we have to

So our hotel is ready for guests

Not quite

What you do if Gestapo comes?

You'll have a visitor Jan Smit

Actually it's 2 houses

Over a 100 years ago they were joined together

The one in the front is 2 rooms deep and 1 room wide

The one at the back...here

Is 3 rooms

One on top of the other

Papa, This is Mr Smit

Mr Smit

We know some Smit's in Amsterdam Are you the Smit family that

Papa, this is the man I told you about

He has come to Inspect the house

Oh...a building Inspector?

Do you have offices on Grote Haus street?

No Papa, he is not a building Inspector and his name is not Smit

Not Smit? Excuse us, Papa

We must locate the rest of the house

The Parlour

Meal times...that's the favourite hour for a raid

Watch your waste baskets

and astrays

It needs to be as high as possible

They'll ask for the best chance to reach a safe place while they search below

These are all bedrooms? Yea

If the raid comes at night

They'll have to take their bedding

Make certain that the mattress gets tugged

The favourite trick of the Gestapo feeling for a warm spot on the bed

What's up there?

The roof is directly above Who sleeps here?

I do

Perfect!

The Wall..will go

Here!

All clear The sign is in the window

You see there is a distinctive marking

You can always sell Flenstadht's work

Lovely day, Aunt Betsie

Peter, No!

I'll come for it Tuesday then Good

Uhha. Ten Boom!

Frisian!

Such beautiful wood!

My Father made a case like this once

Oh, He spent months building it polishing, oiling

It is just a shell

It needs complete set of works

What price will you be asking?

Well, It will take some months to be ready

Name a good price

Exorbitant even, I will pay

I like the Clock

I can afford the best! But

It has no works

No....huh

Very well

Tuesday, Mr Ten Boom

Kik! Hurry!

Aunt Betsie, How many times do you have to be told?

Take the sign out of the window when it isn't safe!

Kik

I'm sorry..I'm sorry!

Grandpa...Look!

Tea, Mr Smit?

Ah, Thank you!

Yes, yes, yes..yes!

Good Morning Milk!

Not Milk! Paint!

Paint?

Betsie! O Betsie!

Do you remember Fred Koonstra?

Of course, he read our electric meter for years

His daughter was in our Bible class Yea

Milk! Paint

Paint!

Elsie Koonstra

I know her name I just have to sort out few faces

She must be into her 20's by now

I heared yesterday that Fred Koonstra works in the Food Office

Where?

They issue ration cards

I will be frank we had some unexpected company

First, a baby

Then a man and then last night, a couple

All Jews, Mr Koonstra

Why do you tell me?

There are only 3 of us left at home now

My Father, My Sister and Me

And our ration cards are just not enough

All ration cards are checked

Accounted for in dozen differnt ways

Yea! Yea! I know I

Should not have asked you

I thought perhaps you could advise me

The food office at Utrecht was robbed last week

Men were caught And shot

If it happened at noon and just the record clerk and I were there

We would have to be tied and gagged

How many cards do you need?

A 100!

I know someone who might do it

Papa, Now!

Papa!

Done How long?

47 seconds!

They better not send us anyone wider than me

Hallelujah!

Oh Lord! we ask Your blessing on this hiding place

You can eat what you like!

Herren, It is not kosher It's not a problem

Could you pass the potatoes Please?

Oh..my God!

Go, go, go! go!

Hurry, Hurry

I will get one to put one on each side

Your'e spilling it!

Corrie?

1 minute and 15 seconds

It's long enough to cuddle the stomach

Peace be with this house and all who dwell in it

The peace of the Lord God. Please come in Don't stand outside and pray

I was told that you have accomodation I will require a room for myself

quiet for study and preferably with no children

Well, Can you take me in?

Well, yes, but there are many questions that I have

I would like something to eat

Last meal was yesterday

Thank you! Good afternoon

This is a Kosher House?

Well, we try, we have many requests that we are not able to handle

And there are no children?

Well, not at present but they come and they go

Let them stay gone while I am here

This is the way?

Yea! I regret My contacts have told me

that most of you guests are transients that they are on the way out of the country

Most of them, Yes Well, I will not be

I am a teacher and Chief compere for the congregation Beth Kodesh

I will not be driven away by grining sea creatures their powers and their Reich

Who is this man?

A Patriach like Issac or Jacob Father of Nations!

Papa, We have a new guest

This is my father, Mr Ten Boom

Papa, This is Mr

Wijnstok, Meyer Wijnstok Pleased to meet you, Mr Ten Boom

God willing and the accomodation proving suitable

I will be staying with you until this nonsense is over

You're Welcome Thank You

Miss Ten Boom My room, please

Aunt Betsie!

My friend Jan wants a place to stay for a while

He got away from the transport

By noon tomorrow he will have new identity papers

But

Where did you get the uniforms?

Not all Germans are Nazis Aunt Betsie

Is it Jan?

Corrie! Mr Wijnstock refuse kitchen duty again

He has to study

If he wants to eat he must have to share the work

Where is he now? In the parlour

Oh can I have a Oh, excuse me! I'm sorry

Corrie, he's already been upset today

He found out we call him Eusie behind his back

We save his great dignity

He should be flattered he reminds us of a scholar

But a Gentile scholar..he said

We should have at least called him Josephus

Rules are rules!

Mr Wijnstok, my sister tells me that you have refused

Miss Ten Boom, I am Praying

First you refused to work on Saturday because that was the Sabbath

Then you refused to work on Sunday because that was our day of rest

I was simply trying to pay respect to the practise of this house

But today is Tuesday

Tell me, Miss Ten Boom

Why you've found it necessary to give me a nickname?

We called you Eusie simply because

Eusie is a kind of name you give to a pet cat

As a guest in your house am I no longer entitled to respect

We are getting completely out of subject

However as if it seems to give you both satisfaction

Please have the courage to use the name to my face

You want Eusie Eusie it will be

Ladies!

Good Morning! Good Morning!

Good Morning! Good Morning!

After 7!

Just smell breakfast? Yea

Betsie!

Betsie

Good Morning!

What is it? Today is the 18th!

It's Mama and Papa's Aniversary! Oh, no!

54 coupons for the pass

Tell Mr Klassen It's for Papa

Corrie

Corrie That blouse and that skirt

You just can't. Not today

But its a

You look like a flag on a mud boat

You always liked this blouse

The blouse is beautiful and you are beautiful

But the combination of you and blouse and skirt

is impossible

Santa Lucia

Santa Lucia

Papa Ten Boom, You are a most singular man

You are such a great man!

There must have been a great woman

Now, this is not exactly a song

it is more a

a Blessing

Its a...It means may God bless you

May He protect you

May His face shine upon you

You want the whole of Haarlem to hear you?

I did not ask to be born a Jew

I am sick of being expected to

bear the burdern of suffering for the entire world

Because my Mother's name was..Stein

So you will be another Esau

Selling your birth rights for a mash of porridge

I don't want your great Judaic Heritage!

I dont want any part of your Lord God Jehovah

It is no easy thing

to stand in the Palm of God's hand

Betsie, go to the door

Betsie, go! Yes, yes I'll go

Yes, in a moment!

This is Beukers

Betsie, are you crazy?

The whole street can hear your Jews singing

Oh! Thank you!

Tonight, on the overseas service of the BBC

We have special greetings of love to 2017

soldier Sidney Harris from his Mother

And to 1433, Officer Phillip Munen for his wife Doris

If anyone has seen or heard of Alan Stokes

who was last seen in Bournemouth?

His father is hospitalized in London is seriously ill

Alan Stokes, can contact with the Hospital Whitehall 9527

The number is Whitehall 9527

Our next programme is a music played by

How can I ever remember them?

You used to pass messages in Church

Kik! Aunt Corrie

All these numbers What do they mean?

Different things instructions mostly

Instructions of what?

Well, there could be a Pilot down somewhere

The numbers could be co-ordinates for picking him up

Or may be for blowing up a Nazi supply train

Things like that

Sabotage?

We could have blood on our hands

For Holland

Does that make it right?

Lying, stealing, killing?

What ever helps Holland is right

Need the message, Aunt Corrie they are waiting

Will there be life when this is over?

Miss Ten Boom?

Yea!

Thank you for being so prompt

I've heard a great deal about you

about your work

I am afraid it is my father's work Not of watch making

Your other work

You mean the children?

We had to disband the class

Miss Ten Boom

Many of us who are in opposition to publicise our feelings

are in great sympathy in what you are doing

People call your house God's Underground

Are you trying to trap me Sir?

Using the name of the Lord is not the way

If it were a trap you would be down the hall talking with the Gestapo

This will go no further

Then why did you send for me?

I want you

to pass this man's name on to your freinds

Who is he?

A business man

He betrays people to the Gestapo

The going rate is 75 guilders a head

Just pass it on

They'll take care of him

If I could do what you ask

It would be same as killing him myself

I can only put him in the hands of the Lord

And ask the Lord to reach his heart

Do that, Miss Ten Boom

The demons are out tonight?

I would assume you could sleep to anything

Some Tea?

Thank you

You Know, Miss Ten Boom

You and I are very much alike

Stubborn

Tough

Determined

You still don't do your share of the work

Yea..same, Yes

But I..I am also

So..Are you in!

Did you know that

I have a wife and small son?

Precisely, I do not choose to expose myself

They got away

At least I think they did

I will not go around like the others

begging for sympathy and reassurance

We know so little about each other

you are busy yourself with our needs

Surely you have some needs of your own

It's people like us Miss Ten Boom

Raging torrents behind the stubborn jaw

No torrents

Might say my life has been..boring

Till all this?

Until all this.

Was marriage never considered for the daughter's of Ten Boom?

Betsie was always unwell

She was told she could not bear children

so she choose not to marry

And you?

I had a young man

but I was not cut from fine enough cloth for his family

I lacked grace

Still

I was the first woman to be licensed watch maker in Holland

And you have your Father

and you have your Religion

Is it enough?

More than enough

God has been good to me

Yes

I think he has

And I think

I shall be going back to my bed

I will pray for your family

Don't think that you'll get me to peel potatoes, Miss Ten Boom

Good Morning

Miss Ten Boom?

Yea?

My name is Vogel Jan Vogel

I came all the way, from Ermelo

You have a watch that needs a repair?

I need 600 Guilders

I've heared that you have certain contacts

I don't understand

It's my wife

She has been arrested

She is Jewish

That's a lot of money

There is a police man who will arrange everything for 600 Guilders

And she'll need a place to hide

What now?

Someone is calling for this within the hour

Mr Jan Vogel

He is from Ermelo

His wife has been taken

It's for a bribe

Oh...You are impossible

Now hear

I will take care of it Now will you please go to bed?

But Willem and Tine are coming

You can come down later Be sure to call

I will

And use the steam kettle! Yea, Yea

I felt it today the Lord would have us read from Romans Chapter 8

What then can seperate us from Christ love?

Can hardship or calamity can persecution or abuse

if we are hungry or poor or in danger?

or threatened with death, does that mean that God has deserted us..No?

Despite all this

We have overwhelming victory through Christ who loves us

For I am convinced that neither death nor life

nor the powers of heaven nor the powers of hell itself

can keep God's love from us

Nothing in the world as it is

Or the worlds, that it shall be in the forces of the Universe

in all creation will ever be able to seperate us

Along the side door

Come on

All Upstairs!

Corrie!

Yea, I am sorry we are closed until 2 O'clock

Miss Ten Boom...I I have an appointment with you sister

Mr Vogel?

I need the money, now!

Yes, Of course I'll get it Please! Miss Ten Boom

To your places, everyone! Come on, Hurry up!

Please, Miss Ten Boom Yes..Yes in a moment!

I am just collecting it

Upstairs, I'll take the top!

Miss Ten Boom?

Ten Boom, Elizabeth

Where do you hide your ration cards?

I don't know what you are talking about?

Where are the Jews? What Jews?

Lord Jesus, help me!

Where are the Jews? Saviour save me

Where is the secret room?

Corrie!

This must stop!

There's been no wrong done in this house

Then what are you doing with all these ration cards?

Feeding an Army?

What does it say in the book of your's about obeying the Government?

There comes a time

When we must choose between God and man

Keep moving

Name? Cornelia

Ten Boom, Elizabeth

Name? Ten Boom, Casper

Papa!

Only 6?

7

God is with us

Ten Boom

Give me your word you'll behave yourself

And you can die in your bed old man..where you belong

If I stay behind

I will open my door to anyone

who knocks for help

Close it up

Seal the House

Out! Out! Out!

Corrie, take my hand

My sister she needs a doctor Move on!

Papa!

Papa!

God be with you, Papa!

And with you all, my daughters!

I have to get in there

Fever down?

You have them worried

Typhus

Yesterday's ration I saved it for you

Listen, I have family here My sister, my brother

My father, my nephew the Ten Boom family

Can you find out where they are?

Maybe, listen

I can get soap aspirin, cigarettes

You can pay me when you start getting mail

Soap 25 Guilders, Aspirin 50

Cigarettes, 100 Almost anything

Can you get me a Bible?

It's Kik! It's safe now

Oh, thank God!

Shh...Over the roof, quickly

The roof!

Where are you family? Hurry!

The Ten Boom's? Still in prision

That's all we know

Mama made it cover it on my bed

It was in a truso

The painting by the mirror is a

Do not go!

Stay

Please

They think I have to feed you

Everybody is been released Everybody?

Except your sister Betsie And your father too, I think

I am not sure O! Thank you, Lord!

O Lord, Thank you!

Here's a bread from the warden's bakery...Fresh!

O Lord

You have done wonders

Don't I get little credit?

Lord, Bless this Angel

Bless you!

Do you think you can last here doing that...Praying?

The only way to live here is to hate

Hate can put you in a worse prison than this

I have been 3 years in this hole

I worked my way to a position

I live to get the swine who betrayed me

And that's 75 Guilders!

Are you cold?

It seems reasonably pleasant

I'm Sorry

Now you are here for the violation of rationing rules

Would you mind telling me where you got these extra ration cards?

Sometimes they just appeared

What do you mean...appear?

Pushed under the door

Sometimes they were handed to me in the market

By whom?

By Mr Smit Mr Jan Smit?

Would you tell me all your other activities?

My sister and I held Bible classes

until such meetings were forbidden

And we worked with retarded children

How? Excuse me?

How would you work with them?

We taught them about God

What a waste!

If you wanted converts

surely one normal person is worth all the halfers in the world

In the eyes of God one simple child may be worth more than

A watch maker's daughter?

Perhaps

But I know he keeps me always in his sight

You actually believe that?

I beleive that you are in his sight too..Lieutenant

Tell me, Miss Ten Boom How can you believe in a God

Who lets an old man die in prison?

his body forgotten somewhere in a pauper's grave?

My Father?

I understand he was taken ill after about 10 days

He was taken to hospital in the Hague Unfortunately

there were no beds available

He seemingly died in the hallway

Some failure of organisation

Under such circumstances when no one claims the body

It is difficult to trace

I know where my Father is...Lieutenant

That will be all Miss Ten Boom

You have news from home

You will receive one half pound of bread

One half liter of soup per day

Once on observation upon which your life depends

There is only one road to freedom

Work!

Get it up!

Hold them in!

You're Dutch?

Some of my people are Dutch

On my Mother's side

You are not the only one suprised to be here

I thought I would be working at re-allocation center

Refugees

Supplies are extremely limited

And accurate record is essential

I know my way around hospitals I was kind of nurse once

I assume that is why you are assigned here

I'm a midwife

I brought Jewish babies into the world

You are not to touch the things in here

Soap, Vitamins, Painkillers

Yeast, Quinine

I always have the key to this cupboard

However

You will find it that I often forget to lockup

I hope you understand

66685

Thank you, Lord!

He don't expect thanks for this

It's warm!

I am thankful for every moment we can be together

We can at least lie down tonight

There has to be a plan, Corrie

I won't be grateful for the lice

God doesn't make mistakes

How is it it's the hospital?

Is it though your temperature has to be above 104 to be admitted?

That's the rule

There is a guard in the laundry you can get underwear for a price

What does she want? Bread rations

Oh, Don't cut too much What you want hair or lice?

You'll learn to love the little darlings

The guards won't step foot in this lice pit

Pass the door we can do anything

Even Lice!

6-6-7-2-7

6-6-7-2-7!

6-6-7-2-7 is missing!

Here!

Somebody over slept

The loony

Ah, Corrie

We are in Hell!

Why do they keep us so long?

To break us

Betsie, Look!

I was certain no one would die

We would all go home

Those days on the train

The Lord seemed to promise

How could I have misunderstood?

Dear Father, help me

Don't let me listen to my voice and think it's yours!

O, Jesus

Show me how to live in this place

You too love him?

Put these in the mattress

Not now! It's Yeast

And don't go spooning it around I can never get enough for everybody

This method consisted of painting on the small dots

of pure colours on the canvas

And colour blending was achieved

by placing dot of different colours next to each other

And then, from a distance the 2 colours

appear blended into one single new colour

Jesus Christ has made it possible

For us we need to have direct access

There is a repeat in that point In the 2nd movement?

There is a ritardando at the end of 3rd part Ta..da..da

Stand up for Jesus ye soldiers of the Cross Lift high his

Royal banner You are quite wrong retardando is later

it must not suffer loss

Attention! Attention!

No Room!

No Room!

You find room

German whores We ran them through the hospital

Infected

Pass the yellow badge?

Race Defiler

go to be with the Slavic labourer

She is just a child

You trod on my foot!

Don't exert yourself, Countess

It's all I can carry

Anymore and I'll have to stop altogether

I decide who stops!

Betsie!

I decide who stops!

No!

Don't hate, Corrie

Don't hate

I'll first of all warm this You owe 2 day's bread!

I will pay you next week

No!

Don't!

Jesus knows everything we feel

He promised that when 2 or 3 get together in his name

He would be there with them

Even in Ravensbruck!

In our lives, before

we would have been seperated by so much

But here, all that has been stripped away

And we see the truth

Jesus in each one of us

Light in this darkness

And we can praise him together

Father

Bless the German People

From your Great Storehouse of love

Forgive them for Jesus sake

Do not hold this place to the judge!

Forgive them

Even before they know to ask

2 days bread I need

I'll give you one

2...Who else you know has the Scarf!

I will give you one now, one tomorrow I will break you

Come on, rub it!

Rub it in!

A whole transport of Poles came in last night

Vulture You should know

I have an underwear Eyes front!

It's wool No!

2 days bread ration My comb

I'll collect later Nothing for the comb

Rub hardly!

Rub it Thank You

O! the sky is so peaceful

You politicals don't have anything to do with trash

We're all trash

I took it from the tray In the infirmary

Continue, Continue!

I thought you are smart

You called attention to yourself in a line

Imbecile! Could you not wait until you're back in the block

You are such a greedy fool?

You German Cow!

You know I should let them kill

You great lumbering, Imprest�vel!

You would like to go to the No light, no water

You will never do anything like stupid again!

Never!

Now I... I'll dress your hand

Comfort the frightened help the weak

be patient with everyone

do not repay evil for evil

but always try to do good to one another

Always rejoice

Pray constantly

give thanks in all circumstances

For this is the will of God in Jesus Christ

And to the mindless the word sound so comforting

In this place it's mockery!

God didn't make this place...Man did!

But He has power Surely he could stop them

Unless of course, he is the sadist

No! he is Love, all Love

Then he is Impotent

You can't have it both ways my dear!

You see what is around you

We see another world Just as real

Our life with God

Everyday

It gets deeper and stronger

You'll think that you can't exist side by side but, we know it do

We live them both

It's enough knowing that we are so much done

moving from nothing to nothing

But you must believe your God

smells that stench from those chimneys

and refuses to do anything

If only

you could know his love

I am Maria Wrochek

1st violinist of the Warsaw Symphony Orchestra

Did your God will this?

We cannot answer

All I can say is, that the same God you are accusing

came and lived in the midst of our World

He was Beaten And he was mocked

and he died on a Cross

And he did it for love

for us

And why do you think

your God of love sent you here?

To obey him

If you know him

you don't have to know why

First you take juice of 4 oranges

and half a cream

to the cup of sugar

I only use 3 quaters of the cup

You should use a full cup

Then you put peels aside for grating and you whip the cream

What kind of cook are you? You forgot the eggs

Do your own recipe, then

We need more sand

Corrie

Corrie

Don't shut me out..please

You know you can only give it to Jesus

Do you think I haven't prayed?

But I hate them

I hate every Nazi in this place!

We can't be more than what we are

Only Jesus can free us from ourselves

from whatever happens

Sister You can't protect me

You mustn't try

Lord

I cannot let go of it

take this

hate

out of my life

and put your love in it's place

Jesus

so many things I do not understand

Do not let me go mad

Poking about on my own

You know that I am

Saviour

Hide me in the center of your will

How long?

4 months

What's it to you?

Child

You would like to see me cry Wouldn't you?

Then you could mother me

I only want to help

What difference would it make? Everything dies here

Water

Could I sleep here? Just tonight?

It's so cold

This way we can have 2 blankets

If God loved Betsie so much

Why?

Suffering does not mean that God has stopped loving us

Sometimes

we have to accept things we do not understand

I love Betsie

And I love you!

This is the sister

Corrie, you must look

Otherwise you'll never know

She is Beautiful

Betsie!

We should do great many things for others

And we must go everywhere

We must tell people

that no pit is so deep

that he is not deeper still

They will believe us

because we were here

Betsie talked about heaven like she already been there. Yea

No one would wish her back

Read for Betsie

Read for all of us

Are we not that our earthly bodies

those we have now

it will die

must be changed for our heavenly bodies

which will not die

but will live forever

Then the scripture will be fulfilled

Death is swallowed up in Victory

So my dear ones

since future victory is sure

Be strong and study

always abounding in the work of the Lord

And we know that our labour in the Lord

is not in vain

as it would be if there were no resurrection

And this is the good news

that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures

And that he rose again just as the prophets had said

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son

that anyone who believes in him shall not die

but has eternal life

No pit is so deep

that he is not deeper still

With Jesus

even in our darkest moments

The Best remains

And the very best is yet to be

I promised my sister I would tell it

And I tell you
