Corrie Ten Boom, known as a symbol of bravery, sheltered Jewish families in her family’s watch shop basement in Haarlem, Netherlands.

She endured harsh conditions, forced labor, and abuse in the Ravensbrück concentration camp before being miraculously released.

Her books have been translated into numerous languages and were brought to life in the 1975 film of the same name, which became a major success.
