and Elizabeth Sherrill

"Would you be willing
to take the Jewish Mother
And her baby into your home?"
Color drained from the man's face. He took a step back from me. "Miss ten Boom! I do hope you're not involved with any of this illegal concealment...it's just not safe! Think of your father!"
I pulled the coverlet back from the baby's face. The men bent forward, his hand inspite of himself reaching for the tiny fist curled around the blanket. For a moment I saw compassion and fear struggle
in his face. Then he straightened. "No.Definitely not. We could lose our lives for that Jewish child!"
Unseen by either of us, Father had appeared in the doorway. " Give the child to me, Corrie," he said.
Father held the baby close, His white beard brushing its cheek, looking into the little face with eyes as blue and innocent as the baby's..."You say we could lose our lives for this child. I would consider that the greatest honor that could come to my family."

(Information on the back cover)
"The true horror of occupation came over us only slowly. During the first year of German rule there were only minor attacks on Jews in Holland. A rock through the window of the Jewish-owned store. An ugly word scrawled on the wall of a synagogue. It was as though they were trying us, testing the temper of the country. How many Dutchmen would go along with them? ... Adventure and anguish, or horror and heaven, were just around the corner, and we did not know."
