Corrie ten Boom (1892–1983) was a Dutch Christian watchmaker who became a key figure in the resistance against Nazi occupation during World War II. Alongside her family, she helped hide Jews and others targeted by the Nazis in a secret room built into their home in Haarlem, the Netherlands. In 1944, the family was betrayed and arrested. Corrie was imprisoned and eventually sent to the Ravensbrück concentration camp, where her sister Betsie died. After the war, Corrie dedicated her life to speaking about forgiveness, faith, and resilience, sharing her story through her bestselling book The Hiding Place. She is remembered for her courage, compassion, and unshakable belief in doing what is right.
