(newsman)
BY WIRELESS FROM THE BBC,

HER MAJESTY, THE QUEEN
OF THE NETHERLANDS.

(The Queen)
FELLOW HOLLANDERS,

THE LIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT
OVER FREE HOLLAND.

WHERE ONLY TWO WEEKS AGO

THERE WAS A FREE NATION
OF MEN AND WOMEN

BROUGHT UP IN
THE CHERISHED TRADITION

OF CHRISTIAN CIVILIZATION,

THERE IS NOW THE STILLNESS
OF DEATH.

OPPRESSED. . .
THREATENED. . .

WATCHED ON
EVERY SIDE

BY A 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
ONSLAUGHT OF BARBARISM.

LONG LIVE THE NETHERLANDS!

[orchestra plays
the Dutch National Anthem]

[click]

[woman clearing
her throat]

OH! COFFEE. . .

IN THE PARLOR.

[clanking of dishes]

(man in the distance)
ACHTUNG! ACHTUNG!

BY ORDER OF
THE REICH'S COMMISSIONER,

ALL CITIZENS ARE ORDERED
TO SURRENDER THEIR RADIOS

AND ALL OTHER
WIRELESS EQUIPMENT.

[many clocks ticking]

ACHTUNG! ACHTUNG!

BY ORDER OF
THE REICH'S COMMISSIONER,

ALL CITIZENS ARE ORDERED
TO SURRENDER THEIR RADIOS

AND ALL OTHER
WIRELESS EQUIPMENT.

[doorbell tinkling]

GOOD MORNING, MR. TEN BOOM.

I APOLOGIZE FOR THE INTRUSION.

THEY ARE COLLECTING ALL RADIOS.

(Papa Ten Boom)
I CAN SEE THAT.

(with disdain)
DUTCH POLICEMAN
ASSISTING THEM!

WE DO WHAT
WE MUST.

[doorbell tinkling]

ALL CITIZENS ARE ORDERED TO
SURRENDER THEIR RADIOS

A RADIO, YES?

UPSTAIRS. . .
IN THE PARLOR!

GET IT.

YOU HAVE MANY
BEAUTIFUL CLOCKS HERE.

BAVARIAN?

THE CABINET LOOKS AS IF
IT'S A BERRINGER WORKS.

(Papa Ten Boom)
YEAH, 1886.

YOU KNOW WATCHES. . .
CLOCKS?

MY FATHER IS A WATCHMAKER.

I GREW UP UNDER HIS WORKBENCH.

AND LOOK WHAT
YOU'VE GROWN INTO.

WHAT DISTRICT?

MATTENBRAW.

AH, MATTENBRAW. . .

MATTENBRAW, 1895.

MAGNIFICENT.

BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN
THAT WATCH WHEN IT CAME 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.

(German soldier)
ANY OTHER RADIOS IN THE HOUSE?

NO! NONE!

GOOD DAY, THEN.

[doorbell tinkling]

[low, resonant ring
of large bell]

[orchestra plays
in minor tones]

(woman)
I DON'T WANT
ANYTHING TOO EXPENSIVE.

(Betsie)
THEN THERE'S
THIS ONE. . .

SEVEN JEWELS
IN A SWISS FACTORY

BUT ALL THE CRAFTSMEN
ARE GERMAN IMMIGRANTS!

IT'S 42 GUILDERS.

(woman)
IT'S FOR AN ANNIVERSARY.

WE COULD SPEND
A LITTLE MORE.

WELL, THERE'S
THIS ONE. . .

BAMENDOR WORKS.

EXCUSE ME.

PAPA, ARE YOU
GOING OUT?

[tap, tap, tap]

I WILL NOT DODDER
AROUND THIS HOUSE

AND DO NOTHING.

PAPA?

[doorbell tinkles]

EXCUSE ME. . .

I'M SORRY.

(voice trembling slightly)
AH, YES. . .

YOU SEE, YOU COULD
HAVE IT ENGRAVED

OR YOU COULD ORDER
IT IN AH, A WHITE GOLD.

THE WHITE GOLD IS 60.

(man on P.A.)
. . .RESIDING IN
THE OCCUPIED NETHERLANDS

MUST COME FORWARD ACCORDING
TO THE FOLLOWING REGULATIONS.

A PERSON IS CONSIDERED
BEING. . .

(man)
TAKE YOUR STAR.

. . .A JEW OR PART JEW

NEXT.

IF HE HAS AT LEAST
ONE GRANDPARENT

WHO IS ORIGINALLY
A FULL JEW.

A GRANDPARENT IS
CONSIDERED A JEW

IF HE BELONGS OR HAS BELONGED TO
THE JEWISH CHURCH.

[orchestra plays slowly
in minor tones]

YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE.

I'VE 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 WEAR THEM,
THEY WOULDN'T KNOW

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
A GENTILE AND A JEW.

GO HOME PLEASE. . .

GO HOME.

I WILL WEAR MY STAR!

AND I WON'T TAKE IT OFF UNTIL
GOD TELLS ME TO TAKE IT OFF!

THE GOD OF ABRAHAM
AND ISAAC

AND MY GOD, TOO!

WHOSE LEADER?

[smashing of glass]

[loud tinkling]

HURRY, QUICK.

TURN AROUND!

GOOD MORNING. . .
[loud tinkling]

ISN'T IT MISS TEN BOOM?

CHILDREN, STOP.

THE WATCHMAKER'S SHOP?
[loud tinkling]

TEN BOOM, BERTELJORISSTRAAT!

YAH! 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.

HE WAS HEARD TO MAKE
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.

AT LEAST, I USED TO.

THIS WILL BE THE LAST ONE.

THANKS TO YOUR NEW DIRECTIVE

CONCERNING
UNAUTHORIZED MEETINGS.

MISS TEN BOOM. . .
THE MEASURES ARE TEMPORARY.

ONCE ALL THIS IS OVER, WHEN
ORDER HAS BEEN RESTORED,

THEN ALL THE ARYAN PEOPLES
WILL LIVE TOGETHER

AS BROTHERS IN OUR REICH.

MEN LIVE TOGETHER AS BROTHERS

ONLY IN THE KINGDOM
OF OUR LORD. . .

NOWHERE ELSE.

MAY WE GO?

COME. . .YEAH.

[loud smashing
and tinkling]

[loud smashing]

[girls giggling]

[baa of sheep]

[girls giggling]

(Corrie)
CHILDREN. . .
CHILDREN. . .

COME!
COME!

SOME COOKIES.

AH, YEAH, JAN COMES
RUNNING FOR THE COOKIES.

[birds chirping]

LISA, YEAH.

ARNOLD. . .OH YEAH!

HA! COOKIES?

AHA!

I. . .I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO
BE WITH YOU FOR A WHILE.

YES?

AHH. . .BUT JESUS WILL
STILL BE THERE. . .

ALWAYS WATCHING OVER YOU.

[duck quacking]

YOU SEE. . .WITHOUT JESUS,

WE ARE LIKE THIS. . .

EMPTY!

WE CAN DO NOTHING.

BUT THEN JESUS FILLS US
WITH HIS LOVE.

[giggling]

THEN WE ARE FULL. . .
YEAH!

WE CAN DO ANYTHING. . .

WE CAN DO ANYTHING!

NOTHING SERIOUS, PASTOR.

A LITTLE BIT DIRT MAYBE.

IT'S BEEN LOSING
5 SECONDS A DAY.

MAYBE A
GOOD CLEANING

UM-HUM. . .YOU
CAN DO IT NOW?

WHILE I'M HERE. . .IT REALLY
WOULD BE MOST HELPFUL.

YEAH!

GOOD!

I'LL GO UP AND HAVE
A CHAT WITH YOUR PAPA.

I HEAR HE'S BEEN WEARING
A JEWISH STAR.

STUBBORNNESS IS
THE CHILD OF PRIDE

AND PRIDE IS THE FIRST
OF THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS.

I'LL SPEAK TO HIM ABOUT IT.

OH, I NEED TO THE BACK
AT THE CHURCH BY 1:30.

IT WILL BE READY.

[doorbell tinkling]

DR. HEEMSTRA!

MISS TEN BOOM.

I CAN ONLY STAY
FOR A MOMENT.

[Corrie gasps]

OH. . .OH!

[baby cries]

OH, WE NEED MILK
FOR HIM, NOT SOUP.

GOOD LORD, YOU DON'T
INTEND TO KEEP IT.

BUT YOU CAN'T!!

IT'S ILLEGAL!

[baby cooing]

YOU COULD ALL BE ARRESTED.

HE'S BEAUTIFUL.

PASTOR. . .

THE LORD MUST HAVE
SENT YOU HERE.

YOU LIVE IN THE
COUNTRY.

NOTHING COULD BE
SAFER.

IT'S. . .IMPOSSIBLE.

I-I. . .HAVE MY OWN
FAMILY TO THINK OF.

WE COULD LOSE EVERYTHING
FOR THAT CHILD.

WHERE WOULD MY CHURCH BE
W-WITHOUT A SHEPHERD.

OH, BUT. . .

NO, BETSIE!

THE 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.

(Corrie)
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.

[baby softly cooing]

PASTOR, YOU WANT ME
TO TAKE OFF MY STAR.

VERY WELL,
I WILL NOT WEAR IT.

AND WE WILL KEEP THE CHILD!

[baby cooing]

AS A CHRISTIAN. . .

I AM SORRY THAT
ANY MAN MUST SUFFER

NO MATTER WHO HE IS. . .

OR WHAT HIS RACE.

BUT REMEMBER,
IT IS THE JEWS. . .

(Papa)
WHO GAVE US THE BIBLE. . .

AND OUR SAVIOR!

[baby cooing]

IT IS ON YOUR HEADS.

I'LL PICK UP MY WATCH TOMORROW.

[baby cooing]

GOOD DAY, TEN BOOM.

LADIES.

[click]

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.

[Betsie chuckles]

WHAT WILL WE DO?

WE MUST HAVE
MILK.

HE SHOULD GO
TO THE COUNTRY.

CAREFUL, HE'LL
SUFFOCATE.

WHERE WILL YOU SEND HIM?

GOD WILL KNOW.

DOORS ARE OPENING
ALL OVER HOLLAND.

LAST WEEK WE HAD
A DUTCH FARM GIRL

AND A PRUSSIAN BARONESS
IN THE SAME BED.

[baby cooing]

AND NOW YOU'LL HAVE A
LITTLE MOSES IN THE BASKET.

[scraping of metal
on glass]

CORRIE, PLEASE.

THANK YOU.

[baby cooing]

(Corrie)
WILLEM!

(Willem)
HE MUST NOT CRY!

(Corrie)
YOU CERTAINLY ARE ORGANIZED.

OH, IT'S NOT
THE FIRST TIME.

[baby cooing]

WE ARE A WAY STATION. . .

FOR A DAY OR
FOR A WEEK.

YOU'VE KEPT 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'S NOT
A JEW LEFT IN EUROPE.

THEY HAVE TOUCHED
THE APPLE OF GOD'S EYE.

I PITY THEM!

I HATE THEM.

OH, CORRIE. . .

YOU CAN'T HATE ANYONE
AND WALK WITH THE LORD.

YOU COULD HAVE TOLD US, WILLEM,
WE MIGHT HAVE HELPED.

(Willem)
THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO GET
OUR LITTLE FRIEND OUT OF HERE.

YOU'D BE HARD PRESSED TO EXPLAIN
A SUDDEN GIFT FROM HEAVEN.

SON, I'LL WALK WITH YOU
A LITTLE WAY.

GOODBYE, MOSES.

WE'VE BEEN MANAGING
ALL RIGHT

SOME POTATOES. . .

AND OCCASIONALLY EGGS, EVEN!

SO FAR WE HAVEN'T
DONE TOO BADLY.

[bicycle bell rings]
AND OF COURSE WE. . .

[clicking of bicycle wheels]

IS THIS THE
DUTCH FARM GIRL?

(male voice)
GRANDPA!

KIK, DID YOU GET
ANYTHING?

THE CARBON FROM
THE WASTEBASKET--

IF YOU HOLD IT UP TO
THE LIGHT, YOU CAN JUST
MAKE IT OUT.

THANK YOU.

YOU SEE, PAPA,

WE HAVE A CONTACT
IN THE GESTAPO
OFFICE.

HUSH!!

HE GIVES US THE
DEPORTATION LISTS
WHENEVER HE CAN.

ALL RIGHT, KIK!

UH-HUH.

GOOD-BYE, GRANDPA.

GOD BLESS YOU, KIK.

STEADY IT WITH
ONE HAND. . .GOOD!

[birds singing]

PAPA. . .

EVERY DAY NOW. . .

HE KEPT THE PATROLS AWAY.

BE SURE TO SAVE A PIECE OF CAKE

FRIEND?

IT'S 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

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

PEOPLE HAVE EVERY KIND OF REASO

FOR WANTING TO WORK
IN THE UNDERGROUND

EXCITEMENT, PERHAPS.

[both chuckle]

MR. SLURING,

WE ARE PAST THE AGE
WHEN EXCITEMENT IS

OF ANY MAJOR CONCERN
IN OUR LIVES.

TRUTHFULLY. . .I'D
RATHER DO ANYTHING ELSE.

I'D 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 DOOR
TO WHATEVER COMES.

TO GIVE HIS LOVE
IN WHATEVER WAY
I CAN.

AND I WILL LISTEN
TO HIS VOICE. . .

NOT MINE.

DO WE PASS
INSPECTION?

HOW MANY CAN YOU TAKE?

THERE'S AH, MAMA'S ROOM

AND THERE'S YOUR OLD ROOM,

WHAT DO YOU DO
IF THE GESTAPO COMES?

YOU WILL HAVE A VISITOR,
A JAN SMIT.

ACTUALLY, IT'S TWO HOUSES.

OVER A HUNDRED YEARS AGO
THEY WERE JOINED TOGETHER.

THE ONE IN THE FRONT IS

THE ONE AT THE BACK,

THIS IS MR. SMIT.

MR. SMIT.

I KNOW SOME SMITS

ARE YOU WITH THE SMIT FAMILY

FATHER, THIS IS THE MAN

HE'S COME TO
INSPECT THE HOUSE.

OH! A BUILDING INSPECTOR?

DO YOU HAVE THE OFFICES
ON GROTE HOUS STREET?

NO, PAPA.

HE IS NOT A BUILDING INSPECTOR,

MEALTIMES-- THAT'S

WATCH YOUR WASTEBASKETS. . .

THESE ARE ALL BEDROOMS?

YEAH.

IF A RAID COMES AT NIGHT,

THEY'LL HAVE TO

ARE JUST NOT ENOUGH.

ALL RATION CARDS ARE CHECKED.

ACCOUNTED FOR IN
A DOZEN DIFFERENT WAYS.

YEAH! YEAH! I. . .I KNOW.

I. . .

I SHOULD NOT HAVE ASKED YOU.

YOU COULD ADVISE ME.

THE FOOD OFFICE AT UTRECHT
WAS ROBBED LAST WEEK.

THE MEN WERE CAUGHT

. . .AND SHOT.

IF IT HAPPENED

WELL, YES. . .
GOOD.

. . .I SUPPOSE SO, BUT THERE ARE
MANY QUESTIONS THAT I. . .

I WOULD LIKE
SOMETHING TO EAT.

THE LAST MEAL WAS YESTERDAY--
THANK YOU--AT NOON.

THIS IS A KOSHER HOUSE?

WELL, WE TRY.

WE HAVE MANY REQUESTS
THAT WE'RE NOT ABLE TO FILL.

THERE ARE
NO CHILDREN?

WELL, NOT
AT PRESENT,

BUT THEY COME
AND THEY GO.

LET THEM STAY GONE
WHILE I AM HERE.

THIS THE WAY?

YEAH! BUT I WOULD FIRST LIKE
TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT. . .

MY CONTACTS HAVE TOLD ME THAT
MOST OF YOUR QUESTS ARE TRANSIENT

THEY ARE ON THEIR WAY
OUT OF THE COUNTRY.

MOST OF THEM, YES.

WELL, I WILL NOT BE.

I'M A TEACHER
AND CHIEF CANTOR FOR
THE CONGREGATION BETH KODESH.

I WILL NOT BE DRIVEN AWAY
BY THESE GRINNING SIEGFREIDS

AND THEIR THOUSAND-YEAR REICH.

WHO IS THIS MAN?. . .

OR JACOB,
FATHER OF NATIONS.

PAPA, WE HAVE
A NEW GUEST.

THIS IS MY FATHER,

PAPA, THIS IS MR. . .

MAYBE IT'S 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. . .

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 PRACTICE
OF THIS HOUSE.

BUT TODAY IS TUESDAY.

TELL ME, MISS TEN BOOM,

WHY YOU HAVE FOUND IT NECESSARY
TO GIVE ME A NICKNAME?

WE HAVE CALLED YOU
EUSIE SIMPLY BECAUSE. . .

EUSIE IS THE KIND OF A NAME
YOU WOULD GIVE TO A PET CAT.

AS A GUEST IN YOUR HOUSE, AM I
NO LONGER ENTITLED TO RESPECT?

WE ARE GETTING COMPLETELY
OFF THE SUBJECT.

HOWEVER, AS IT SEEMS
TO GIVE YOU BOTH SATISFACTION,

PLEASE HAVE THE COURAGE
TO USE THE NAME TO MY FACE.

IF YOU WANT EUSIE,
EUSIE IT WILL BE.

LADIES!

[clock ticking]

AH, GOOD MORNING!

CORRIE. . .

CORRIE. . .THAT BLOUSE
AND THAT SKIRT. . .

YOU JUST CAN'T.

NOT TODAY.

BUT. . .

YOU'D LOOK LIKE
A FLAG ON A MUDBOAT.

BUT YOU ALWAYS
LIKED THIS BLOUSE.

THE BLOUSE IS BEAUTIFUL
AND YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL,

BUT THE COMBINATION OF YOU,

THE BLOUSE, AND THE SKIRT
IS IMPOSSIBLE.

BECAUSE MY MOTHER'S

(shouting)
SO, YOU WILL BE ANOTHER ESAU,

YOUR OTHER WORK.

YOU MEAN WITH

WE'VE HAD TO
DISBAND THE CLASS.

MISS TEN BOOM,

MANY OF US WHO ARE
IN NO POSITION TO
PUBLICIZE OUR FEELINGS,

ARE IN GREAT SYMPATHY
WITH WHAT YOU'RE 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 FRIENDS.

WHO IS HE?

A BUSINESSMAN.

HE BETRAYS PEOPLE
TO THE GESTAPO.

THE GOING RATE IS
75 GUILDERS A HEAD.

JUST PASS IT ALONG. . .

THEY'LL TAKE CARE OF HIM.

IF I COULD DO
WHAT YOU ASK,

IT WOULD BE THE SAME
AS KILLING HIM MYSELF.

I CAN ONLY PUT HIM
IN THE HANDS OF THE LORD,

AND ASK THE LORD
TO REACH HIS HEART.

[deep sigh]

YOU DO THAT, MISS TEN BOOM.

WE ARE THE SAME, YES.

BUT I AM MORE SO. . .

DID YOU KNOW THAT. . .

I HAVE A WIFE AND SMALL SON?

PRECISELY-- I DO NOT CHOOSE
TO EXPOSE MYSELF.

THEY GOT AWAY.

[thunder rumbling]

AT LEAST I. . .
THINK THEY DID.

I WILL NOT GO AROUND
LIKE THE OTHERS,

BEGGING FOR SYMPATHY

WE KNOW SO LITTLE

YOU BUSY YOURSELF

"WHAT THEN CAN SEPARATE US
FROM CHRIST'S 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

WOULD YOU MIND TELLING ME

WHERE YOU GOT
THESE EXTRA RATION CARDS?

SOMETIMES THEY JUST APPEARED.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN. . .
APPEARED?

PUSHED UNDER THE DOOR.

SOMETIMES THEY WERE HANDED TO ME
IN THE MARKET.

BY WHOM?

A MR. SMIT.

MR. JAN SMIT?

WILL YOU TELL ME ABOUT
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.

[loud, raspy cough]

WHAT A WASTE.

IF YOU WANTED CONVERTS,

SURELY ONE NORMAL PERSON
IS WORTH

ALL THE HALF-WITS

IN THE EYES OF GOD,

ONE SIMPLE CHILD
MAY BE WORTH MORE THAN. . .

. . .A WATCHMAKER'S DAUGHTER.

PERHAPS. . .

BUT I KNOW HE KEEPS ME
ALWAYS IN HIS SIGHT.

YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE THAT?

I BELIEVE 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
A HOSPITAL IN THE HAAG,

UNFORTUNATELY, THERE WERE
NO BEDS AVAILABLE.

HE SEEMINGLY DIED
IN THE HALLWAY.

SOME FAILURE OF ORGANIZATION.

UNDER SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES
WHERE NO ONE CLAIMS THE BODY,

IT IS DIFFICULT TO TRACE.

I KNOW WHERE MY FATHER IS,
LIEUTENANT.

(Betsie talking softly)
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
SEPARATED 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.

[all whisper in prayer]

(Betsie)
FATHER. . .
BLESS THE GERMAN PEOPLE.

FROM YOUR GREAT
STOREHOUSE OF LOVE,

FORGIVE THEM FOR JESUS' SAKE.

DO NOT HOLD THIS PLACE

FORGIVE THEM, EVEN BEFORE
THEY KNOW TO ASK.

"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 WORDS SOUND SO COMFORTING.

IN THIS PLACE IT'S MOCKERY!

GOD DIDN'T MAKE THIS PLACE. . .

MEN DID!

BUT HE HAS POWER. . .

SURELY HE COULD STOP THEM.

UNLESS, OF COURSE,
HE'S A SADIST.

NO! HE'S LOVE, ALL LOVE.

THEN HE'S IMPOTENT.

YOU CAN'T HAVE IT
BOTH WAYS, MY DEAR!

YOU SEE WHAT'S AROUND YOU.

WE SEE ANOTHER WORLD,
JUST AS REAL. . .

OUR LIFE WITH GOD.

EVERY DAY IT GETS
DEEPER AND STRONGER.

YOU THINK THE TWO CAN'T
EXIST SIDE BY SIDE,

BUT WE KNOW THEY DO!

WE LIVE THEM BOTH!

IT'S ENOUGH KNOWING
THAT WE'RE SO MUCH DUNG,

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.

[breathing anxiously]

I AM MARIA WROCHEK. . .

FIRST 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 THE
JUICE OF FOUR ORANGES,

AND A HALF A PINT
OF CREAM,

AND A CUP
OF SUGAR.

I ONLY USE 3/4 OF A CUP.

YOU SHOULD USE
A FULL CUP.

THEN YOU PUT THE 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.

[Corrie wimpering]

[Corrie crying]

LORD. . .

I CANNOT
LET GO OF IT.

TAKE THIS HATE. . .

OUT OF MY LIFE

AND PUT YOUR LOVE
IN ITS PLACE.

JESUS, THERE ARE MANY THINGS
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND.

DO NOT LET ME GO MAD. . .

POKING ABOUT ON MY OWN.

YOU KNOW WHAT I AM.

SAVIOUR. . .

HIDE ME IN THE CENTER
OF YOUR WILL.

[flute plays
slowly and melodically]

HOW LONG?

FOUR 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.

KRAUT! A LOUSY
LITTLE WHORE!

WE NEED VITAMINS AND ALL THE
CALCIUM YOU CAN GET.

YOU ARE
SO DAMNED NAIVE.

TWO YEARS OLDER-- SHE'D BE
STANDING OVER YOU WITH A WHIP!

IT'S A BABY, KATJE,
A NEW LIFE!

I AM NOT
YOUR PERSONAL RED CROSS!

I CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH FOR YOU,
AND HER, AND BETSIE TOO!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?

NOTHING! I WAS JUST. . .

I SAID "WHAT

THAT CHRIST DIED
