Who was Corrie Ten Boom?
Corrie ten Boom was a Christian watchmaker who lived in Holland during the Holocaust. She was unmarried and living at home with her father and sister until her arrest in 1944. In 1942, 2 years after the Germans invaded Holland, she began housing Jews in her small home, which was nicknamed The Beje. Shortly after, a secret room was put into their house, at the highest point to allow the longest time for Jews to hide if a threat were to enter the house. As aforementioned, Corrie, her sisters Betsie and Nollie, her brother Willem, nephew Peter, and father Casper were all arrested and imprisoned in a camp named Scheveningen, where her father died 10 days later. Her brother and nephew were released, and soon after, Nollie as well. Betsie and Corrie remained, and were later sent to Vught (both camps in the Netherlands), and finally to Ravensbrück. The ten Boom sisters spent most of 1944 there. In the later part of the year, Betsie told Corrie that they would both be released by the new year. She turned out to be correct. Betsie died peacefully in the hospital, and Corrie was released on New Year's Eve. Corrie later discovered that her release was an error- and all the women her age were went to the gas chambers the next week. After her release from prison, Corrie opened a home to help those had been imprisoned in concentration camps recover. After a while, Corrie realized that she needed to share her story. She traveled all around Europe and to the United States. At one event, she met a formerly brutal Nazi guard who had been stationed at Ravensbrück while Corrie was there. After she shared her message, he approached her and asked her forgiveness. She forgave him. I think the Corrie ten Boom was an incredible woman of great strength, one you can certainly look up to. I hope I helped whoever was searching Google for facts about Corrie ten Boom. :) She wrote some books, and I can highly recommend them. The Hiding place is the one I would suggest to start with.
