The street is a main shopping street linking the Haarlem railway station to the Grote Markt. It runs along one of two old parallel roads running through the city on either side of the Grote Markt linking Heemstede to Schoten, and is one of the oldest people in Haarlem. It was first used in the book "The Hiding Place" by Corrie Ten Boom.

The streets in Haarlem were formally named and given signboards in 1876. [1] At that time it was considered to be named after a certain "Bartel Jorisz", but the street has been registered in 14th and 15th century documents as the "Batte Joris straat", which could be named after a woman named "Batte Jorisdr". [1] In the 1827 Nautz map of Haarlem, the street is also called "Batte Joris straat". The street contains several rijksmonuments, including the Ten Boom Museum at number 19 dedicated to the memory of Corrie ten Boom and her family, who harbored Jews and other political refugees during World War II. [2]

The Dutch version of Monopoly includes three streets of Haarlem including the Barteljorisstraat, the Zijlweg, and the "Houtstraat" which refers to the Grote Houtstraat and the Kleine Houtstraat. All four of these streets are shopping streets today that connect pedestrians from the north, west and south to the Grote Markt. Halfway down the street is a small statue commemorating Malle Babbe by Kees Verkade.

<i>Return to the Hiding Place</i> 2013 American film

Return to the Hiding Place is a 2013 film based upon the factual accounting of Hans Poley's World War II encounter with Corrie ten Boom, her involvement in the Dutch resistance and the wartime harboring of Jewish refugees. A non-Jewish fugitive after he refused to pledge his allegiance to the Nazis, Poley was the first person hidden from the Nazis in the Ten Boom House, which is today a museum in Haarlem, Netherlands. The film is adapted, in part, from Poley's book, Return to the Hiding Place (1993), personal recollections, relayed to screenwriter Dr. Peter C. Spencer, and research from the Dutch National Archives. The film is neither a prequel nor is it a sequel to the 1975 film The Hiding Place, instead, it is a congruent accounting of the Dutch underground's resistance efforts from Poley's perspective. It was directed by Peter C. Spencer and starred John Rhys-Davies, Mimi Sagadin and Craig Robert Young.
