Return to the Hiding Place

Edinburgh 2026

A moving reimagining of Corrie Ten Boom's biographical tale of forgiveness and reconciliation in the shadows of WWII. Her family bravely hide Jews in their small clock shop and the consequences are dark and devastating. The production looks not only at the story from Corrie's viewpoint, but from a German army officer's as well. How do they both regard their families, their faith, the Jewish people and the occupation of Holland? They begin in different worlds, but eventually come face to face with each other. Wonderfully inspiring and still very relevant for today. Must see.
