For those who are familiar with the story - it's interesting to add a place to the names. It gives you another opportunity to re-live and better understand the significance of their feat of faith in the face of hostility and sure death. Hiding the Jews has never been popular either then nor now, but a heart filled with God's love doesn't care about popularity - it cares about following God's truth and saving all if possible, at all costs, including one's own life. It's a great reminder for all believers out there for our times, as it becomes more relevant with each day.

So inspiring to hear Corrie Ten Boom's story and visit the house. Our guide was lovely and very informative. Amazing to see the actual 'Hiding place'! Will want to visit again.

We initially were disappointed as by the time we had finalized our travel plans all of the English tours were booked. It was pouring rain and so thanks to a few no-shows we were still able to join the tour. Sounds like that is not the norm. I have read many of Corrie ten Booms books and was thrilled to be able to step into the secret room and hold Corrie’s suitcase. So many of the stories shared I already was very familiar with, but to see it all in person was amazing. Just walking the streets of Haarlem filled with bicycles brought to mind Corrie pedaling her tireless bike through the city, rattling over the cobblestone on an errand for the resistance. Will never forget this!

This house is a place where God used the ten Boom family very powerful. A place where the light of Jesus shines in a dark world. This was the case before and during the second World War. Yet this is still the case. The presence of Gods Spirit is there still and the people who do the tours also have an intimate relationship with Jesus and passion for His kingdom with compassion for people. If you seek a life transforming experience with a loving God trough His Son Jesus, I highly recommend to visit this house. You cannot enter just like that. You need to reserve.

An amazing story, even though I already knew most of the story of the family because I read the book The Hiding Place place as a child. Getting the chance to visit here was amazing. The museum staff did a amazing job of telling their story and pointing out important of what this family did with great detail. Loved it & we had a great experience. We did not have an appointment when got there but they had space to join the tour. (Later, I was told that usually you can’t get in without book ahead since space is limited.) The tour was absolutely fascinating & so worth it. Highly recommended this place.

This was a wonderful place to visit and learn more about the Ten Boom family and how they hide and protected Jews and others from the Nazis Tickets are free but required to enter so make sure to get your tickets well before you plan to go. If you don’t have a ticket, you can try to show up before a tour and see if there are any openings due to a no-show of a ticket holder. This is how we were able to go.

The Ten Boom museum is in Haarlem, Netherlands. This is the home where Corrie Ten Boom's family hid Jews during World War II. Her story was featured in the 1975 movie "The Hiding Place." The museum was closed for a special event the day we visited, but the jewelry shop that was in the bottom of the house (which used to be the family clock shop during WWII) permitted us to look in the back to see a portion of the house though we could not enter it that day. That is how I got a few shots of the interior including the staircase and living room of the house.

This our favorite site we visited in Amsterdam. Guides are extremely knowledgeable and good storytellers (we were with Joyce, she did fantastic.) Tours are offered both in English and in Dutch, I would recommend reserving in advance (and don’t be late 😉). A great experience, you can really feel the strength and kindness of the family as you hear their story in their home.
