Bravery is standing up for what is right from "summary" of The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom,Elizabeth Sherrill,John Sherrill
In a world filled with darkness and fear, it takes great courage to stand up for what is right. This is a lesson that is vividly illustrated in 'The Hiding Place' through the experiences of Corrie ten Boom and her family during the Nazi occupation of Holland. Despite the dangers and risks involved, they chose to hide Jews in their home, risking their own lives to do what they believed was morally right. The ten Boom family's actions were not without consequences. They were eventually discovered and arrested by the Nazis, leading to Corrie and her sister Betsie being sent to a concentration camp. Despite the horrors they faced in the camp, they never wavered in their belief that they were doing the right thing by standing up for those who were being persecuted. Throughout their ordeal, Corrie and Betsie remained steadfast in their faith and commitment to helping others. They drew strength from their beliefs and from each other, inspiring those around them to hold onto hope and never give up. Their bravery in the face of unimaginable suffering serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of standing up for what is right, no matter the cost. In the darkest of times, it is often those who are willing to risk everything for the sake of others who shine the brightest. Corrie and her family's example shows us that true bravery is not just about facing danger or adversity, but about having the courage to do what is right, even when it is difficult or dangerous. Their story serves as a testament to the power of standing up for what is right, even in the face of overwhelming evil.
