After Corrie's father read psalm 119:114 Corrie wondered "what was there to hide from?" What is the answer to that question for Corrie?

In context, this means hiding from the Nazis, who mean to do Jews and the people who help them harm. The hiding place is a constant image of safety in periods of duress. When Father reads the verse from Psalm 119:114, “Thou art my shield and my hiding place,” to his children, he doesn't know how important the words will become. Adding to the physical sense of a hiding place, Corrie and the Underground build a secret cupboard in the Beje, which provides a safe haven for many Jews against the terror of the Nazis.
