The heroic deed of Corrie ten Boom all started when the Nazis invaded Holland in the 1940's. Corrie ten Boom helped many Jews by converting her house into a hiding place for them. Her samaritan way of life had earned her respect and inspiration to those who are in despair. Her braveness was recognized by the Queen of Holland as a War Hero in 1968. Corrie was asked by the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem to plant a tree in the Garden of Righteousness, in honor of the many Jewish lives her family saved. Corrie went on to write a number of inspiring books and had been an advocate for peace. Let us be like Corrie ten Boom, a person who will offer her life just to save anyone. You can find a lot of good stories on the net about Corrie ten Boom. She truly deserves a recognition.
The Corrie ten Boom Fellowship and its sister organization, The Corrie ten Boom Foundation of Holland, is working hand in hand in carrying forth the vision of the ten Boom Family which is to care for and protect the Jewish people and to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
