        <description><![CDATA[
In The Hiding Place by Corie Ten Boom, the german soldier who loved watches must have had a huge conflict. On one hand he was loyal to his country and commander as he joined the military service. However, the appreciation he must have had for aesthetic things would not have blended well with the ugliness of the things he saw happening on a day to day basis. This appreciate of the aesthetic is shown in his admiration of the watches the ten...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Pickwick's real name is Herman Sluring. 
Betsie and Corrie call him Pickwick because to them he looks "incredibly like the illustrator's drawing in (their) copy" of a Charles Dickens novel.  Corrie describes Pickwick as being "without doubt the ugliest man in Haarlem.  Short, immensely fat, head bald as a Holland cheese, he (is) so wall-eyed that you (are) never quite sure whether he (is) looking at you or someone else - and as kind and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Casper ten Boom was a remarkable man. His whole being was caught up in doing the will of God at all times. Even in his watch shop he would pray for direction on repairing a particular timepiece. He led his family in daily Bible reading and devotions. When the war began, he took in the Jews because he understood that they are God's chosen ones and that God's law is higher than man's.
When he was arrested at age 84, along with his four children...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Corrie ten Boom, a Dutch missionary, saved many Jews dring the Holocaust. Her family built a hiding room where they harbored many local Jews. A novel entitled The Hiding Place, published in 1971, told the tale of ten Boom and her family.
The name of the guard is not known though Corrie ten Boom's famous interaction with him is well-known. Although the guard had been present when Corrie's sister, Betsie, was killed, Corrie felt an obligation to...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In The Hiding Place, ten Boom does not name the guard, but only says that she recognized him as the first SS jailer she encountered at Ravensbruck.
In other speeches and in biographies, she retells the story, but never uses the man's name. I suspect there are multiple reasons, including protecting him from harm, but, knowing Corrie ten Boom's heart, I think the primary reason she omits his name is that she wants the focus to be on how God can...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[One of the things Corrie ten Boom learned well from her sister, Betsie, was a attitude of gratitude and a heart of forgiveness. Ravensbruck was indeed the vilest of the camps in which Corrie spent time, but even there she saw God's provision.
The first instance was the mildewed, cockroach infested benches in which Corrie was able to hide a sweater, a Bible, and a bottle of liquid vitamins that Betsie desperately needed to survive. That Bible...]]></description>

Meyer Mossel is "a Jew whose features (give) him away".  For this reason he cannot remain with his wife and children, who are hiding on a farm in the north, and he is referred instead to the Beje.  When...]]></description>
