If you've read The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom, go ahead and skip this one. A Prisoner And Yet goes into greater detail of her years in concentration camps, but The Hiding Place was a much more moving and inspirational book. (Maybe this is due to the fact that she wrote this alone/translation problems, whereas she had help writing The Hiding Place??)

Pub. 1963 in Great Britain. An excellent autobiography - the original narrative from which the book and film "No Hiding Place" was drawn.

The Nazis overran Holland, and Corrie ten Boom chose to risk death by making her quietly respectable home a haven for refugees.
Finally, the Gestapo came. And during months in concentration camps that followed, Corrie ten Boom bore sadistic suffering and torture. She watched her father and her sister die.
Yet, she survived, mind intact, soul still free.
Where did this gentle woman find the courage to resist, to suffer, yet to endure?
This book holds the answer. It reveals a life-sustaining faith that carried an innocent woman through some of the worst agonies man can devise. A PRISONER AND YET... is one of the most tragic, yet finally most inspiring and life-enhancing stories of modern times!
