Why is Corrie ten Boom famous?

Corrie ten Boom and her family were Dutch Underground workers during World War II, saving hundreds of Jews. They were caught 4 years into their operation and she and sister Betsie were sent to three concentration camps over the course of 10 months. After she was released from prison, Corrie traveled the world spreading the Gospel. Her ministry eventually led her to Germany to minister to the very people who had caused her sister to die. Corrie followed God all through her life and was very blessed because of it. She finally died in her home in California of multiple strokes.


Who was Willem ten Boom?

Willem ten Boom was a Dutch watchmaker, grandfather to the famous Corrie Ten Boom (and also, incidentally, the name of Corrie's brother) whose family was instrumental in assisting Jewish refugees to safety during the WWII holocaust. Willem conveyed to his family the values of charity and self-sacrifice, qualities seen in how his descendants were very active in the Dutch underground, hiding refugees. Although his family was Christian, they helped Jews unconditionally, even providing Kosher food and honouring the Sabbath. During any given time in 1943 and into 1944, the ten Boom family averaged 6-7 people illegally living in their home, usually 4 Jews and 2 or 3 members of the Dutch underground. It is estimated that the family saved around 800 Jews during the holocaust.
