What life lessons does Corrie learn from her family and friends in the first 4 chapters?

Corrie learns to love unconditionally by serving the people around her. The lesson she learns from her mother infuses Corrie’s actions during the war. Corrie takes the knowledge that love is greater than a physical place or body into Scheveningen, Vught and Ravensbruck. Love is a key theme in “The Hiding Place,” which helps Corrie survive Nazi cruelty.
