Stories Come Alive: A Visit with Corrie ten Boom (Adults)

REGISTRATION RECOMMENDED

Be inspired as Gayle Haas portrays Corrie ten Boom, a Dutch Holocaust survivor who helped Jews escape the Nazis during World War II.

Corrie ten Boom was a Dutch watchmaker and later a writer and public speaker, who worked with her father, Casper ten Boom, her sister Betsie ten Boom and other family members to help many Jewish people escape from the Nazis during the Holocaust in World War II by hiding them in her home. They were caught, and she was arrested, and sent to the Ravensbrück concentration camp. Her most famous book, The Hiding Place, is a biography that recounts the story of her family's efforts and how she found and shared hope while she was imprisoned at the concentration camp.

Wife, mother, grandmother, teacher, dramatist/storyteller, and conference speaker, Gayle Haas is a nurturer who embraces the values of life and family. She takes great pleasure in developing and performing the dramatic monologues of various characters.
