FLonga the Dutch life

I grew up under his desk.

And look what it became.

Give him the speaker.

Good day then.

FORBIDDEN TO JEWS

Quena not anything too expensive,

understand?

Then there's one here ...

seven rubies, manufacturing whisker,

but all the craftsmen are

German immigrants. It costs 42 guilders.

It's a birthday present.

I spend a little more.

Well, we have this ...

Bamendor style.

Excuse me.

Daddy, is leaving?

I will not be hanging around this house

doing nothing.

Dad?

Excuse me ...

Sorry.

Yes ..

See ...

The white gold costs 60.

in occupied Holland

must present themselves as

- Someone is considered Jewish ...

- Take your star.

Or partly Jewish if ...

- Next.

At least one grandparent

of Jewish origin.

A grandparent is considered Jewish

one belongs or has belonged

a synagogue.

You should not be here.

I came for my star.

They are for the Jews.

You do not have a "J"

in his identity card.

You could get it for me.

If they do not we use all

know the difference between ...

a Gentile and a Jew.

Go home, please.

Go home.

I will use my star!

And I will not take it until

God says I should take it!

The God of Abraham and Isaac ...

and my God, too!

Leader who?

Come on, hurry.

Let's go there!

Good day ...

Not Miss. Ten Boom?

Children, stop.

The watch?

Ten Boom, street Berteljorisstraat!

You took our radio.

I wrote to my father.

- I told him about his shop.

- Who are these guys?

Why do not prevent

to disturb the man?

They are young Dutch patriots.

They say he made derogatory remarks

the Reich and our Fuehrer.

Are expressing their outrage.

Patriots?

Who are these kids?

They are my students.

Talk to them about God.

At least that's what I did.

This will be the Iast class.

Through the new orders

on unauthorized meetings.

Mlle. Ten Boom ...

the measures are temporary.

When all this has passed

and order is restored,

then all will live together Aryans

as our brothers in the Reich.

Men live together as brothers

only in the kingdom of our Lord.

Nowhere.

Can we go?

Come ... yes.

Children ... Children ...

Come on! Come on!

Grab some cookies. Yes ..

Jan always comes running

for the wafers.

Lisa, yes.

Carol ... ah, yes!

Ha! Biscuits?

I can not then be

with you for a while.

But Jesus is still here ...

always looking out for you.

See ... without Jesus,

we are thus.

Empty!

We can not do anything.

But when Jesus fills us with ...

with His love,

then we complete.

Yes!

We can do anything.

We can do anything.

Nothing serious, pastor.

Maybe just a bit dirty.

He is delaying

5 seconds per day.

Maybe a good cleaning solved.

You can do it now?

While I'm here ...

really would be great.

Sure!

Great!

I'll go up and talk

with his Father

I heard he is

wearing a Jewish star.

Stubbornness is the daughter of pride, and pride

is the first of the seven deadly sins.

I'll talk to him about it.

I need to be

back to the church at 1:30.

Will be ready.

Dr. Heemstra!

Mlle. Ten Boom.

I can only stay a moment.

We need milk for him,

no soup.

Good heavens, I hope

not intend to stay with him!

But they can not!

It's illegal!

You may all be arrested!

He's gorgeous.

Pastor ...

You were sent by God!

Do you live in the countryside!

Nothing could be safer!

This is ...

impossible.

I have my family to look after.

We could lose everything

because of this child.

What would my church

without a shepherd?

- Ah, but ...

- No, Betsie!

The minister has decided.

It's the law!

And Christians should obey the law!

Think of the risk they are running,

because of a Jewish baby.

Will give us away, pastor,

if the baby gets

for a time with us?

Corrie ...

must obey the state law

if it is not against

the higher law of God.

Pastor, you want

I no longer wear the star.

Okay, do not I will.

But we are left with the baby.

As a Christian ...

I regret that any

Man has to suffer;

no matter who

or their race.

- But remember, are the Jews ...

- Who gave us the Bible ...

and our Savior!

Be as you wish.

I take my watch tomorrow.

Good Morning, Ten Boom.

Ladies.

God forgive him.

He had no bad intention.

How can he

to give the title of a Christian?

Living in a cookie jar

does not make a mouse

a wafer.

What do we do?

- We need milk!

- He has to go to the field.

Beware, it will choke him up.

- Where will send him?

- Only God knows.

The doors are opening

throughout the Netherlands.

Last week a farmer and a

Baroness slept in the same bed.

And now you have

a little Moses in a basket.

Corrie, please.

Thanks.

- Willem!

- He can not cry!

- You are very organized.

- Oh, is not the first time.

We helped in the escape of Jews ...

for a day or a week.

He hid it from us, Willem?

Before they were German Jews,

and now the Dutch.

We do what we can.

The Nazis only happy when

there are no Jews in Europe.

They hurt the girl's eyes

of God. I have for them.

- I hate them.

- Ah, Corrie ...

You can not hate someone
