Corrie ten Boom was a Christian survivor who helped lots of Jews escape the Nazis in World War 2. She write a book called The Hiding Place. It was made into a movie in 1973.

Corrie ten Boom rescued jew's from Nazie's by inviting them to stay at her place. Her family where all kind, not just to jew's but the handicapped and homeles. In her bedroom she built a fake wall for refuges. They chose her bedroom since it was the highest place in the household and Nazies start there search lower down so they have time to close the secrate door. Corrie ten Boom chose to take a huge burden to make the lives of others better.

Corrie Ten Boom was a Dutch Christian Holocaust. She was one of the survivors that helped some Jews escape from the Nazis in World War II. In 1940 the Nazis invaded the Netherlands and banned them from Corrie's ten Boom club for girls. She and her family were very active hiding refugees underground. She was a very kind person to the Jews especially the handicapped people.

Corrie ten Boom is such a kind lady not like the other Germans that wouldn't care about the Jews. I think that Corrie wanted to save the children because she thought that not only she was a Jew and that she wanted the children to get away so the Nazis didn't capture them. As far as I know it was just like Felix and Zelda escaping away to find a place where they could stay. They were hiding under the burrow and were underground. I really admire her after the effort and hard work she's done.

She helped Jews escape the Nazis. there was a small room in her bedroom were the Jews hid when an inspection happened

the room was only 76 centimeters deep the size of a medium wardrobe to get to it there is a fake wall . initially a buzzer

was installed to warn the people in the house when there was an inspection there is a book called "the hiding place co written

by Corrie ten boom [ it is also a movie ] which is about this.
