Cornelia Arnolda Johanna "Corrie" ten Boom was a Dutch watchmaker and later a Christian writer and public speaker. She worked with her father, Casper ten Boom, her sister Betsie ten Boom, and other family members to help many Jewish people escape from the Nazis during the Holocaust in World War II by hiding them in her home. They were eventually caught, and Corrie was arrested and sent to the Ravensbrück concentration camp.
Corrie ten Boom's most famous book, The Hiding Place, is a biography that recounts her family's efforts to hide Jews and her own experiences in the camp, where she found and shared hope in God.
After the war, the Jewish institution Yad Vashem named her Righteous Among the Nations for her role in providing refuge to those persecuted by the Nazi regime.
