The Watchmaker's Daughter
The True Story of World War II Heroine Corrie ten Boom
Book • 2023
This book tells the remarkable and inspiring life story of Corrie ten Boom, a groundbreaking female Dutch watchmaker who, along with her family, transformed their house into a hiding place to shelter Jews and refugees from the Nazis during World War II. Despite being sent to a concentration camp and losing most of her family, Corrie survived and later became a Christian missionary, known for her extraordinary ability to forgive her captors.
The book is reminiscent of *Schindler’s List* and *Unbroken*, and it highlights Corrie’s journey of faith and forgiveness.
