Museum Corrie Ten Boom

Museum Corrie Ten Boomhuis, or the house-museum Corrie Ten Boom - the last representative of the family who during the Nazi occupation hid members of the resistance movement and people of Jewish origin sentenced to extermination. Volunteers are guides in the museum opened in 1988. Visitors can see, among others a hideout behind a double wall in the Corrie bedroom.

On February 28, 1944, the Ten Boom family was denounced and the Nazis arrested over 30 people, including Corrie, her sister and father. Only Corrie survived prisons and camps, who traveled the world after the war to tell her story and emphasize that faith in God enabled her family to save the lives of nearly 800 Jews and other people threatened by the Nazis.

During the arrests, four people of Jewish origin and two members of the resistance movement were not found in the house. They survived in a secret niche behind a double wall, and then were transported to other hiding places. Four of the six in hiding survived the war.
