Welcome to S2 RMPS
Corrie Ten Boom was
the name of a Dutch
women, the daughter
of a watchmaker who
lived in the city of
Haarlem in Holland.
Her name is known
all over the world
and her acts of
bravery are known
across the world.
This is her story.
Corries early life was happy. She lived with her
family (one sister, Betsie, a brother and her mum and
dad). Her dad was a watchmaker and they lived above
his shop in the centre of the town.
She spent a lot of her time running Christian Girls
clubs that included thins such as gym, music and
camping activities.
She also spent a
lot of time
teaching girls
about God and
Faith.
In May 1940, as
part of World War
II, Nazi Germany
entered Holland and
quickly defeated the
small Dutch army to
occupy the country.
This meant that
many peoples lives
were going to be
changed as the
Germans enforced
new rules for
everyone to live by.
German occupation meant that
certain rules were given to the
Dutch people.
•Food was rationed with Dutch
people being able to buy only a
small amount and only if they
had a ration card.
•All radio sets were taken
away.
•There was a curfew that
meant nobody was able to be
out at night after six o’clock.
•All clubs and public meetings
were banned.
