concentration camps
Corrie Ten Boom helped hundreds of Jews escape persecution by hiding them in her home. It is estimated that the family saved over 800 Jews. She was the only one of her family who survived the Concentration Camps they were sent to after soldiers discovered the Jews they were hiding.
hiding under his flock of sheep.
The Nazis used post cards from the concentration prisoners to find more Jews. __ Most of the postcards would not have been sent to any Jews in hiding. This would have been foolish. Most of the postcards, that were sent to Jews, were sent to addresses in Ghettos. Some postcards were supplied to the concentration camp prisoners to use to acknowledging the receipt of red cross parcels. Others had a more sinister purpose. Some prisoners had to send them to relatives still in the ghetos, what was written on them dictated by the SS. They basically said I am fine, I've arrived fine and then the writers were sent for extermination. It is thought they were done to try and hide the genocide from the general population. Sometimes the postcards were just that. Quick notes sent to people outside the camp to let them know they were still alive.
Because they were in hiding! Only a few people knew and if the Germans found out they were hiding there they would have to be sent to concentration camps. So it had to be secret.
They went to a concentration camp, where everyone died
The idea to go into hiding, under the circumstances that they did, was Otto Frank's alone, but he was greatly assisted in this by his office staff, who remained faithful helpers to him and the others in hiding until those in hiding were arrested.
Jews who did not go into hiding were caught and sent to concentration or death camps.
In "The Hiding Place" by Corrie ten Boom, the nurse is Betsie ten Boom, Corrie's sister. Betsie was a loving and compassionate individual who cared for others, even while enduring the hardships of a concentration camp during World War II. She was a source of hope and strength for many prisoners during their time in the camp.
