    Corrie Ten Boom

    ALL ROUND BASICS - Corrie and her family were Christians and owned and open house which means they would let anyone stay if they were in need of help. Corrie (the young girl on the right) was born on April 15th 1892 and died in April 15th 1983. She thought it's wrong that Adolf Hitler killed all Jews so that’s why she made "the hiding place." The hiding place was used to hide Jews away from the Nazi. Sometimes the Jews were there for a week sometimes more. She made the hiding place by putting a false wall in her room. The area behind the wall could hide about six people. To hide the false wall she put the same wall paper that was on the other walls in her room. This was another good way to trick the Nazis. She had two sisters called Betsie and Nollie and one brother Willem. Her Dad was called Casper and her mum who died when she was a child.…
