Corrie Ten Boom

Corrie ten Boom was raised in Haarlem, Holland. The family home, "the Beje," was a narrow, three-story stucco and brick watchshop, and it became a refuge for many. When she was in her early fifties, she became a key figure in the Dutch Underground Christian Resistance movement during World War II. The account of her experience during this time period can be found in her bestselling book The Hiding Place.
