Ten Boom House

The ten Boom house is where Corrie ten Boom and her family hid Jews and Dutch resistance fighters from the Nazis. The ten Boom house has now become a museum. Much of the house has been refurbished to appear as it did in the 1940's. Visitors can see the hiding place, the small area behind a false wall in Corrie's room. The ten Boom house is located in the Dutch city of Haarlem.
