Corrie ten Boom
Nacido: April 15, 1892 – Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands
Corrie ten Boom was a Dutch Christian writer, watchmaker, and Holocaust survivor whose work centered on faith, suffering, and forgiveness.

Biografía y Trayectoria del Autor
Corrie ten Boom was born on April 15, 1892, in Haarlem, the Netherlands, into a devout Christian family whose home sat above the watch shop run by her father, Casper ten Boom. She grew up in a household shaped by disciplined work, hospitality, and religious conviction, and she trained in the family trade until she became one of the first licensed women watchmakers in the Netherlands. Her education was practical rather than literary: the shop, the church, and the rhythms of family life formed her habits of observation, service, and perseverance. Those early years also established the moral vocabulary that would later define both her public witness and her writing.
