1. The ten Boom family showed true discipleship. They chose to help the Jewish people during the Holocaust. The ten Boom family were Christians and they still decided to help the Jews during this horrible time in history. They showed love towards others just like God and Jesus teaches. They helped people who believed in different things. Even though their beliefs were different, the ten Booms still went against the law to help others.

This movie portrays people that lived out John’s message perfectly.

The corporal works of mercy that they accomplished are: give the hungry food, give the thirsty drink, welcome in strangers, give the naked clothes, and care for the ill. In the concentration camp they gave the others that were starving and thirst some food and water to hold them over and keep them well. When the Jews came to their house in the beginning of the movie, they were strangers, and the ten Booms let them in. They shared the clothes with those that weren’t able to get any.
