I believe you mean Corrie ten Boom. She was a Christian woman who along with other family members helped to smuggle Jews out of Nazi occupied Holland during WWII. She was eventually captured along with her sister Betsy and other family members. She and her sister were sent to a concentration camp where her sister died. After the war Ms. ten Boom traveled the world speaking about her life and how God had delivered her. She wrote several books including; In My Fathers House, The Hiding Place and Tramp for the Lord. They are all worth the read.

I have a hunch that you are asking about Corrie Ten Boom. She and her family lived in the Netherlands during World War II. They were Christians, but when the Nazis invaded the Netherlands, they helped to hide many Jews and send them to safety away from the Nazis. Eventually they were betrayed by an informer and were sent to Nazi concentration camps. Corrie was released because of a clerical error and made her way to the U.S. After the war she received many awards from humanitarian organizations because she risked so much to save a large number of Jews from the Nazis. She spent the rest of her life preaching and writing about Christianity and forgiveness, until she died at age 91 in 1983.

Corey Ten Boom (I think that is how you spell it) was a Christian woman during WWII, in Holland I believe. I think she and her family hid Jews and were caught and placed in a concentration camp. She wrote the book "The Hiding Place" which is about her experiences during that time.
