I'd forgotten all about this book until I saw an update on GR today.

My church sent a busload of us to see the movie when it came out in 1975. I was 8 or 9 I think and the appeal was more the day trip to the big city with my friends and without my parents. It was my first introduction to the Holocaust - it disturbed me, made me terribly sad and frightened all at the same time. Thinking back I was probably too young to have seen it (but what the heck, I saw "Jaws" that year too.)

I read the book a couple of years later. What a story. I'm not sure I understand why Corrie ten Boom and her family aren't as famous as Anne Frank; or maybe they are and I'm just clueless. :)

Recommended for everyone.
