The Ten Boom family were devoted Christians who dedicated their lives in service to their fellow man. Their home was always an “open house” for anyone in need. During the Second World War, the ten Boom home became a refuge, a hiding place, for fugitives and those hunted by the Nazis.

Ten Boom family members were eventually betrayed by informants and were sent to concentration camps where most died,... except Corrie ten Boom, who went on to tell the story of the family’s work with the Resistance movement. Her autobiographical book, The Hiding Place, was published in 1971 and made into a full-length feature film of the same name in 1975 and starred Jeannette Clift and Julie Harris.

Dr. Michael D. Evans purchased and restored Corrie Ten Boom's house in 1983 and later converted it to the Ten Boom Museum. He founded the Corrie ten Boom Fellowship, a non-profit 501(c) 3 corporation governed by a board of directors to maintain and manage the Ten Boom Museum. It gains no direct or indirect funding from the State of Israel, nor do any of Evans’ organizations. He has served as the chairman without salary for decades.

Personal Interests

In the tradition of the ten Boom family, The Corrie Ten Boom Fellowship continues to pray for the peace of Jerusalem and encourages Christians to exercise their faith by helping the Jewish people.
