Faith Amidst the Storm: The Ten Boom Legacy
In the narrow streets of Haarlem, Holland stood the Beje-a quirky old house with a watch shop on the ground floor. Here lived the Ten Boom family: Father Casper, a masterful watchmaker known throughout town for his integrity; his daughters Corrie and Betsie; and a revolving cast of foster children and guests. Their home operated with an extraordinary open-door policy that seemed remarkable to outsiders but entirely natural to them. The family's centennial celebration in 1937 transformed their street into a microcosm of Dutch society-the mayor sharing coffee with postmen, wealthy and poor children playing together-reflecting their deeply held belief that social status meant nothing in God's eyes. Every evening without fail, they gathered for Bible reading, Father's deep voice bringing ancient wisdom into their daily lives. This foundation of faith would soon be tested beyond anything they could imagine.
