Corrie ten Boom's Prison Letters

By: Corrie ten Boom

Narrated by: Clare Staniforth

In 1944, as an act of resistance and commitment to their Christian faith, Corrie ten Boom and her family hid Dutch Jews from the Nazi regime. Eventually, Corrie and her family were arrested by the Gestapo and sent to Scheveningen and the concentration camp, Vught.

While imprisoned, she communicated with her loved ones through letters filled with stories of unimaginable trials, resilience, and her unfailing faith in the Lord. This collection of deeply moving letters represents the only tie between Corrie, her loved ones, and the outside world. It is a testament to her love and devotion to Christ and is an inspiration to all.

Corrie ten Boom had an amazing story to tell!

I liked the authentic presentation of the letters. And I loved how her story seemed to come alive.

Corrie- yes; narrator - no!

Any primary sources from Corrie Ten Boom’s time in prison are worth reading. However, the narrator did an abysmal job reading them aloud—few pauses within letters, little distinction when a new one began, etc. The producer should have made sure that the letter writer’s name was provided BEFORE each letter was read so the listener knew who was speaking.
