Cornelia Arnolda Johanna "Corrie" ten Boom (April 15, 1892 - April 15, 1983) was a Dutch watchmaker who worked with her father Casper and other family members to help, reportedly, 800 Jews escape the Nazi Holocaust during World War II by hiding them in their home. Eventually, the family was caught, and ten Boom was arrested and sent to Ravensbrück concentration camp, but released after ten months due to a clerical error. Later in life, ten Boom wrote, "The Hiding Place," a biography that recounts the story of her family's efforts and how she was able to find hope while imprisoned at the concentration camp. It was later made in to a movie.

Cornelia “Corrie” ten Boom (1892–1983) was a Dutch Christian Holocaust survivor who helped many Jews escape the Nazis during World War II. Her autobiography, The Hiding Place, was made into a movie of the same name. In 1967 Ten Boom was honored as one of the “Righteous among the Nations” by the State of Israel.
In the years after the closing chapter of The Hiding Place, she traveled ceaselessly, carrying her message of triumphant living all over the world, especially behind the Iron Curtain. The author of devotional books treasured by millions, she was also a colorful, amusing speaker.
