“Return to the Hiding Place,” a new film based on a true account of Corrie ten Boom’s secret army of untrained teenagers who rescued Jews from the Nazi Gestapo during the Holocaust, will hit theaters Oct. 24 after outperforming big-budget Hollywood showings in its initial release.
Based on Hans Poley’s autobiographical book, the movie highlights themes of endurance, perseverance and faith through Poley’s experiences as a student resistance fighter during World War II.
The message echoes the story of Anita Dittman, told in her book “Trapped in Hitler’s Hell.”
Published in early May, Dittman’s book was accompanied by a documentary movie directed by George Escobar.
A German teenager caught up in the deadly events of World War II and Nazism, Dittman was abandoned by her Aryan father, imprisoned and separated from her mother when the Gestapo forced them into a concentration camp.
Relive Anita Dittman’s harrowing but inspiring story through both the book and the movie, “Trapped in Hitler’s Hell,” bundled together at one, low price.
Reviewers of the book and movie say her desperate struggle for survival is a stirring inspiration and tribute to the timeless power of the human spirit and uncompromising trust in God.
“Return to the Hiding Place” is raising the awareness of the intrepid band of people who saved victims of the Holocaust.
Initially premiering in a sold-out screening at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, the film has garnered several awards.
It was selected as best feature film at the Bel-Air Film Festival, Central Florida Film Festival, San Antonio Christian Film Festival and Life Fest Film Festival. It has also been recognized by Yad Vashem, Israel’s official memorial to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust.
