CORRIE TEN BOOM
Corrie ten Boom was a Dutch Christian who became notable for her work in the Dutch Resistance during World War II. Born on April 15, 1892, in Haarlem, Netherlands, she and her family were involved in hiding Jews from the Nazis. This courageous act was driven by their faith and belief in the value of human life.
In 1944, the ten Boom family was betrayed, and Corrie, along with her sister Betsie, was arrested and sent to a concentration camp. Corrie's father died in custody, and she and Betsie endured horrific conditions at Ravensbrück concentration camp. Betsie later died in the camp, but Corrie survived.
After the war, Corrie ten Boom became a writer and speaker, sharing her experiences and promoting messages of forgiveness and reconciliation. Her book, "The Hiding Place," co-written with John and Elizabeth Sherrill, recounts her experiences during the war and has been widely read and adapted into a film.
Corrie's message emphasized the importance of love, forgiveness, and the necessity of standing up against injustice. She dedicated her life to helping others and inspiring people to follow her example of faith and courage until her death on April 15, 1983. Her legacy continues to influence many around the world.
