Betsie is Corrie's older sister.
"The Hiding Place" is the famous autobiography of Corrie Ten Boom who lived through the Nazi occupation of Holland in WWII. Corrie was part of the Dutch resistance in Haarlem. It tells how the Ten Booms smuggled Jews out into the countryside and abroad. Eventually Corrie and her sister Betsie were caught and sent to Ravensbruck concentration camp. The sisters became separated but held within the same camp. Betsie could not find herself hating the Germans. Corrie lived with hate and resentment until she learned from Betsie how to place her trust in God's will. Corrie miraculously survived to tell the tale and help in the post-war reconstruction of Holland and work tirelessly for reconciliation in Europe.
After spending three months in prison, Corrie ten Boom was sent to Vught concentration camp in south Holland in 1944, which was mainly used as a transit stop for prisoner being moved to Germany and Poland. She was than moved to Ravensbruck concentration camp in Northern Germany, were she remained until she was freed in December 1944. It was in Ravensbruck that Corrie's sister, Betsie ten Boom died.
No
While she was born in Amserdam, Holland, she grew up in Haarlem.
I believe that Betsie ten Boom died from sickness and weakness caused by Nazi mis-treatment at Ravensbruck prison camp in Germany. The camp was stressful for all, including the strong and weak. Betsie was not one of the strong and the conditions brought her down. Personally I believe that she translated from being sick and dying to being in the presence of the Lord. Before her death, she was having visions and knowledge from the Lord about the future. Her release as well as her sister (Corrie ten Boom) occured before the end of the year just as the Lord told her. In Betsie's release it was from her sick body to the Spirit in the Lord. Corrie had to wait many years to be released from her body. From the book The Hiding Place you can come to know Betsie and her godly personality. If other women could have such a relationship with the Lord as Betsie did, they would gain considerably and others could see light from the Lord. Best to all of you that profess Jesus as Lord and to all He has called.

Corrie ten Boom is well known for surviving the notorious Ravensbruck Concentration Camp, while her sister, Betsie, who was with her in the Camp did not. The family's old watch shop had a secret room. The ten Booms were betrayed and thrown into the brutality of the concentration camps. It was in the watch shop that Corrie helped her father as a hobbie.
