Corrie Ten Boom had a desire that her home would be made into a museum. People can go there and reflect on the love and courage that her family showed to the Jews during World War II. I was able to tour the Ten Boom House in March of 2010. The movie had already touched my heart; now her home also left an impression. Her grandfather, in the early 1800s was holding regular prayer meetings to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They had had many refugees in their home after World War I. Their unselfish love of Jesus Christ and the courage to show it in spite of danger is inspiring.
I was there in late August of 2010, and I must say that I was rather overcome with emotion just being there, in the actual Hiding Place. It was a somewhat emotional thing for me too, to be inside the actual hiding place. The guide I had was named Esther, and at the end of the tour, she was kind enough to also say a Hebrew blessing over me. Even then, I was feeling overwhelmed, but in a good way. I highly recommend this tour to anyone.
