Betsie ten Boom: Fighting Until the End for G-d’s Chosen People
Born in Amsterdam, Netherlands on August 19, 1885, Betsie ten Boom was the oldest child of Casper ten Boom and would make history for her courageous effort to save Jews in Nazi-occupied Netherlands during World War II.
The Ten Boom family had a long history of being devout Dutch Christians whom were committed to their beliefs, and in the end, risked and later gave their lives in pursuit of their values.
The story of Betsie ten Boom starts with her great-grandparents in 1844, when Willem and Elisabeth ten Boom started a weekly prayer session in their home.
In the Ten Boom home, this weekly event became a family tradition and would last one-hundred years. The Ten Booms and their friends would pray for many miracles but they were always consistent in praying for one specific prophecy to come true again by the hand of the Almighty – that the Jewish people return to their historic homeland, the Land of Israel.
