Corrie ten Boom

Watchmaker who hid Jewish families behind a false wall in her family's clock shop; arrested with the family; survived Ravensbrück (her sister Betsie did not); after the war, faced and forgave a guard from the camp who came forward at one of her talks. Restoration path: Hide the persecuted; survive what cannot be survived alone; forgive the camp guard who comes forward. Markers: ordinary trade hiding the persecuted; arrested with the family; loses the sister in the camp; speaks afterward across Europe; forgives an actual guard who comes forward — Corrie ten Boom, Dutch, 1892-1983 (History)
