Corrie ten Boom was a Dutch Christian who, along with her family, helped save approximately 800 Jews during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands.
They were arrested in 1944, and ten Boom survived imprisonment in concentration camps.
After her release, she became a writer and speaker, sharing her experiences and faith worldwide.
Ten Boom received numerous awards for her work, including recognition from Israel and knighthood from the Queen of the Netherlands.
Her story of resistance, sacrifice, and forgiveness has inspired many, and a museum in Haarlem is dedicated to her family's legacy.
