Requests:  0 Summary:  The inspiring true story of Corrie ten Boom, a Dutch watchmaker whose heroic efforts saved the lives of hundreds of Jews during World War II--at a tremendous cost to herself and her family. The ten Booms, who had recently celebrated the one-hundred-year anniversary of their Haarlem watch shop, lived a quiet life. That change in 1940 when the Nazis occupied the Netherlands and Jewish citizens began to disappear. Corrie and her family, devout Christians, joined the Dutch Resistance and built a secret room in their house to hide Jews and refugees. The Gestapo applied unrelenting pressure on Haarlem, continually raiding homes to snatch Jews and Resistance members. When Corrie and her family were ultimately arrested in the winter of 1944, they faced interrogation, beatings, and possible execution. Before long, she and her sister Betsie were sent to the notorious Ravensbrück camp. In the face of the horrors around her, Corrie found solace in her faith, and she ministered to other prisoners, providing comfort and hope. Miraculously, she survived, though by the time she returned home, she had lost many loved ones, including her father and Betsie. For Corrie, though, her journey was only beginning. Eschewing bitterness and embracing forgiveness, she provided free housing to hundreds of survivors who had been wounded by war, physically or emotionally. For the rest of her life, she traveled the globe as an evangelist, sharing her story of faith, hope, and love at churches, clubs, and prisons-even a leper colony. --   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 940.53183 Ten Boom Lo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53183 Ten Boom Lo Checked out 05/22/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53183 Ten Boom Lo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53183 Ten Boom Lo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Ten Boom Lo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53183 Ten Boom Lo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53183 Ten Boom Lo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 940.53183 Ten Boom Lo Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
