The story of Corrie ten Boom (inset) is to be told at Fahan Presbyterian Church on November 15
The story of a Dutch family that opened their home to hide Jews fleeing persecution during the second world war is to be told at a special event at Fahan Presbyterian Church later this month.
When the Nazis invaded the Netherlands, Corrie ten Boom and her family allowed their small watchmaker’s shop in Haarlem to hide members of the local Jewish community in a secret room.
Eventually, the family was arrested, and Corrie and Betsie were sent to Ravensbrück in Germany to a Nazi Germany concentration camp exclusively for women.

Betsie died in the camp, but Corrie was released and after the war returned to the Netherlands to set up a rehabilitation center for concentration-camp survivors.
She went on to travel the world, sharing her message that forgiveness can triumph over hatred.
Corrie died in 1983 and her story is being told by Paul DeCook, a relative of hers, at Fahan Presbyterian Church (EIRCode F93 XY65) on Saturday, November 15 from 6pm to 7:30pm.
The evening is part of a series of events called Stories of Faith for Families that Fahan Presbyterian Church is running. Booking for the event is essential.
