Why is Corrie ten Boom famous?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

She's famous because she helped to save hundreds of Jews during the Holocaust. She later wrote books about her experiences and what she went through and saw. Her book "The Hiding Place" is all about it.

P.S. It's a good read. I'd recommend it if you're looking for stuff about her or the Holocaust

Answer 3

Corrie ten Boom was a Dutch Christian who, during World War II, was a prominent figure in the anti-Nazi underground. When the Germans invaded Holland, she became an active member of the underground along with the rest of her family and helped Jews to safety, even hiding some in her own home. In 1944, the ten Boom family's home was invaded and they were all captured and sent to prison. However, because of a secret room located in their home, the Jews the family had been harboring were not captured and remained safe. Corrie's father, Casper, died ten days after imprisonment at the age of 84. Corrie, who was 52 years old at the time, and her older sister Betsie spent 10 months in three different prisons. Betsie died at the infamous concentration camp, Ravensbruck, and Corrie was released in what later appeared to be a clerical error. One week after her release, all women Corrie's age were taken to the gas chambers. Corrie ten Boom wrote several books, the most famous one being the Hiding Place. While imprisoned, Corrie triumphantly ministered to her captors and her fellow prisoners, never allowing the harsh treatment to dampen her spirit. She died on her 91st birthday, April 15, 1983.
