Book Quotes

“Corrie ten Boom: But I know He always keeps me in His sight. Nazi Lieutenant: You actually believe that? Corrie ten Boom: I believe that you are in His sight too Lieutenant. Nazi Lieutenant: Tell me Miss Ten Boom, how can you believe in a God that lets an old man die in prison; his body somewhere forgotten in a pauper’s grave? Corrie ten Boom: My father? Nazi Lieutenant: I understand he was taken ill after 10 days. He was taken to a hospital in the Hague. Unfortunately, there were no hospital beds available. He seemed to have died in a hallway; some failure of organization. Under such circumstances when no one claims the body, the body is difficult to trace. Corrie ten Boom: I know where my father is Lieutenant.”

― Corrie Ten Boom

“There is no pit so deep that God’s love is not deeper still.”

Corrie Ten Boom (1892 - 1983)

Known for the book the "Hiding Place" where she smuggled Jewish people during the great World Wars under the Nazi regime. She had a vibrant faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and that showed in her love for others especially the people of Israel. She ended up going to a concentration camp where she suffered greatly and survived to share the story of faith.

Corrie's faith story and testimony was shared in many settings especially in the 60-70's where she toured all across North America encouraging Christians of how to endure coming persecution. Her ministry was to encourage faith and love in the hardest circumstances.

Corrie Ten Boom was a Dutch, Christian, Holocaust survivor who helped many Jews escape the Nazis during World War II.

Corrie was living with her older sister and her father in Haarlem when Holland surrendered to the Nazis. She was 48, unmarried and worked as a watchmaker in the shop that her grandfather had started in 1837.

Corrie's involvement with the Dutch underground began with her acts of kindness in giving temporary shelter to her Jewish neighbors who were being driven out of their homes. Soon the word spread, and more and more people came to her home for shelter. As quickly as she would find places for them, more would arrive.

She returned to Germany in 1946, and traveled the world as a public speaker, appearing in over sixty countries, during which time she wrote many books.

Her autobiography, The Hiding Place, was later made into a movie of the same name. In December, 1967, Ten Boom was honored as one of the Righteous Among the Nations by the State of Israel.

In 1977, Ten Boom, then 85 years old, moved to Orange, California. Successive strokes in 1978 took away her powers of speech and communication and left her an invalid for the last five years of her life. She died on her birthday, April 15, 1983, at the age of 91.

Many Christians know the story of Corrie ten Boom through her book The Hiding Place, and the motion picture released by the same name in the 1970s.

It is the story of a Gentile Christian family who spearheaded a rescue operation in Holland that helped hundreds of Jews escape the Nazi extermination camps.

Like faithful Ruth, the ten Booms took their allegiance to the Jews seriously.
