Corrie ten Boom Forgives Her Guard

Corrie ten Boom's family hid Dutch Jews behind a false wall until they were betrayed and sent to the camps, where her sister Betsie died. Two years after the war, a former Ravensbrück guard approached her at a church in Munich and asked her forgiveness. She later wrote that as she forced her hand into his, 'the most incredible thing happened' — a healing warmth she spent the rest of her life preaching about.
