An old watchmaker in Holland. His two daughters, Corrie and Betsie. Simple, ordinary people.

These kindly, law abiding people broke every rule in the book to save the lives of the men, women and children being hunted by the Nazis. Their home became a hiding place, but the cost of their bravery was betrayal and in the dreaded Ravensbruck concentration camp, they had to create another hiding place for those around them. --Publisher. |
