All Jews, Mr. Koonstra.

Why do I say that?

Remains only 3 of us

home now.

My father, my sister and me.

And our ration coupons

are not sufficient.

All coupons are conferred.

Are checked

in several ways.

Yes! Yes! I know.

I should not have asked for.

I thought maybe you

could help me.

The office in Utrecht

was stolen last week.

- The men were caught.

- And dead.

If it had been at noon, when

just me and another employee are there ...

We would have to be tied

and gagged.

How many coupons

do you need?

Hundred!

I know someone

you can achieve.

Pope, now!

Papa!

- Ready.

- How long?

47 / 2!

It is better not to send

nobody bigger than me.

Hallelujah!

Our Lord, we ask Thy blessing

on this secret hideaway.

Eat what you want!

- Herren, is not kosher.

- Do not worry.

Could you pass the potatoes,

please?

My God!

Go, go, go! Go!

Quick, quick.

One in the head, another on the other hand,

and one on each side.

You're spilling!

Corrie?

A minute and 15 seconds.

That's long enough

to wrap the stomach.

Peace be to this house

and all that dwell therein.

- The peace of the Lord God ...

- Come in, do not get out there praying.

I hear you have accommodations.

I need a room for me

quiet to study,

preferably without children.

Well, can I stay?

Well, yes, I think so,

but there are many questions ...

I would eat something.

My meal was Iast Sunday.

Thanks! At noon.

This house is kosher?

Well, we tried, we have many requests

we can not answer.

And no children?

Well, not at the moment,

but they come and go.

Not coming

while I'm here.

It's around here?

- Yes! But before ...

- My contacts told me ...

that most of its guests are

in transit, are fleeing the country.

- Most, yes.

- Well, it's not my case.

I am a teacher and soloist

of Congregation Beth Kodesh.

I will not be taken by those German

and his thousand-year Reich.

Who is this man?

As a patriarch Isaac or Jacob,

father of nations.

Papa, we have a new guest.

This is my father, Mr. Ten Boom.

Pope, this is Mr. ..

Wijnstok, Meyer Wijnstok.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Ten Boom.

God willing

and the accommodations are good,

I'll be with you

to end this madness.

- You're welcome.

- Thanks.

Mlle. Ten Boom,

my room, please.

Aunt Betsie!

My friend needs a place Jan

to stay for a while.

He fled the train.

At noon tomorrow will

new identity papers.

But ...

where they got the uniforms?

Not all Germans

Nazis are, Aunt Betsie.

His name is Jan?

Corrie! Mr. Wijnstock refused

helping in the kitchen again.

He has to study.

If you want to eat, he has

to do their part in the work.

- Where is he now?

- In the living room.

Could I ...

Oh, sorry! Sorry.

Corrie, he was upset today.

He discovered that the call

of "Eusie" in the back.

He was considered an honor.

I should be flattered to be

compared to a scholar!

But a scholar Gentile. He said ...

we should compare the Io Josephus.

Rules are rules!

Mr. Wijnstok, my sister said

you refused ...

Mlle. Ten Boom, I'm praying.

Already refused to work on Saturday

because of the Sabbath.

After he refused to work Sunday,

that was our day of rest.

I was just trying to respect

the customs of this house.

But today is Tuesday.

Tell me, Miss. Ten Boom,

because they found it necessary

give me a nickname?

We call Eusie because ...

Eusie is the kind of name

we would give to a cat.

As a guest in your home

should not be more respected?

We're totally changing

the subject.

However, as this

seems to give satisfaction,

please have the courage

to use the name in my presence.

If you want Eusie,

so be it.

Ladies!

- Good morning!

- Good morning!

- Good morning!

- Good morning!

It's past seven!

Feel the smell of coffee?

Betsie!

Betsie ...

Good morning!

- What?

- Today is day 18!

- Birthday Dad and Mom!

- Oh, no!

54 coupons for sweets.

Tell Mr. Klassen

what's for Dad.

Corrie ...

Corrie ...

that blouse and skirt ...

You should not use. Not today.

But ...

You'd look like a flag

Stretched on a mast.

But you always

like this blouse.

The blouse is beautiful and you're beautiful

But the combination of you,

the blouse and skirt ...

is impossible.

Santa Fluc

Santa Fluc

Pope Ten Boom, you

is an extraordinary man.

To a great man ...

there must have been a great woman.

Well, this is not

just a song ...

is a more ...

blessing.

It means

"May the Lord bless you,

and keep you,

and to illuminate

His face upon you. "

You want the whole

Haarlem you listen to?

I did not ask to be born Jewish.

I'm tired of having to ...

carry the burden of suffering

worldwide.

Just because the name

my mother was ... Stein.

Then you will be another Esau

selling his birthright

for a mess of pottage!

Do not want your

great Jewish heritage!

I want nothing to do

with his Lord God Jehovah.

It is not easy

be in the palm of the hand of God.

Betsie, answer the door.

- Betsie, go!

- Yes, yes I will.

Yes, one moment!

Is Mrs. Beukers.

Betsie, are you insane?

The whole street can hear

Jews singing.

Thank you.

Tonight

the BBC's international service,

have special greetings

love for 2017,

soldier Sidney Harris,

of his mother.

to 1433, cable Munen Phillip,

his wife Doris.

anyone seen or have news

Alan Stokes

who was last seen

in Bournmouth

His father is hospitalized

FLondres, is very ill.

Alan Stokes, contact

Hospital Whitehall 9527.

Whitehall The number is 9527.

The next attraction is

a song played by ...

How will I remember all this?

The way we were passing messages

in church.

- Kik!

- Tia Corrie.

All these numbers ...

what they mean?

Different things,

general instructions.

Instructions for what?

Well, there may be a pilot

lying around.

The numbers may be

coordinates to the rescue ...

or perhaps to explode

a Nazi supply train!

Stuff like that.

Sabotage?

This means

blood on our hands.

It is the Netherlands.

And it justified?

Lying, stealing, killing?

Anything

to help the Netherlands is certain.

I need the message, Tia Corrie

are waiting.

As we become

when this is over?

Mlle. Ten Boom?

Yes!

I appreciate your promptness.

Heard a lot about you.

About their work.

- Actually it is the work of my father.

- I'm not talking about watches.

His other work.

You mean to children?

We had to cancel classes.

Mlle. Ten Boom,

many of us who can not

express our feelings,

greatly appreciate

the work they are doing.

People call his house

"Hiding from God."

Is this some kind of trap?

Use the name of the Lord

is not correct.

If it was a trap, would be

another room, talking to the Gestapo.

This will not leave.

So why did you call me here?

I want you ...

pass the name of this man

to your friends.

Who is he?

An entrepreneur.

He denounces people

to the Gestapo.

He receives 75 florins per head.

Just pass the name ...

and they will take care of him.

If I did what you asked ...

would be to kill him

with my own hands.
