What is the description of Corrie ten Boom in the hiding place?

"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.

How did Betsie Ten Boom die?

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.
