Author : Corrie Ten Boom

Corrie ten Boom was a devout Christian and a dedicated social worker from Haarlem, Netherlands. During World War II, she and her family demonstrated remarkable courage and faith by actively participating in the Dutch underground resistance against the Nazis. They bravely hid, fed, and transported Jews and resistance members, ultimately helping to save approximately 800 lives. Tragically, on February 28, 1944, the ten Boom family was betrayed, leading to Corrie's arrest alongside several relatives, while the individuals they sheltered evaded capture. After enduring the horrors of concentration camps, where she lost her father, sister Betsy, and grandchild Kik, Corrie was released in December 1944. Her experiences of heroism and sacrifice inspired her to become a celebrated author and speaker, earning her numerous accolades, including recognition from the State of Israel and knighthood from the Queen of the Netherlands. A museum in Haarlem stands in honor of her family's legacy, commemorating their profound impact during a dark chapter in history.
