Corrie ten Boom

Eventually, the family was caught, and ten Boom was arrested and sent to Ravens-brück 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.
