Show Notes
On May 10, 1940, the Nazis invaded the Netherlands. And life for Corrie ten Boom, a 48-year-old watchmaker in the Dutch city of Haarlem, would never be the same.
With the help of the Dutch resistance, Corrie and her family constructed a tiny, secret room in Corrie's bedroom, a room they used to offer shelter to neighbors, customers, and anyone else who asked, eventually saving some 800 people from the Nazis. Not only did the ten Boom family offer a "hiding place" and hope of escape, but they also fostered an atmosphere of love, music, and fellowship, providing refugees a sanctuary from the horrors of the war.
