The Life of Corrie ten Boom Inspires Young Readers to Love Their Neighbors and Forgive Those Who Persecute Them

Corrie ten Boom was a watchmaker, prisoner, and World War II hero who helped hundreds of Jews escape persecution amid the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. Despite her bravery, the risks she was willing to take ultimately led to her capture and imprisonment. After her release, Corrie was again met face-to-face with the prison guard who caused so much pain. Her life story raises the question, Is it possible to forgive the unforgivable?
