Follow the remarkable story of Corrie ten Boom on a powerful walking tour through the streets of Haarlem, the very city where she lived, resisted Nazi occupation, and was eventually arrested. This immersive 2-hour experience sheds light on the courage and compassion that defined Corrie’s life, as she turned her family home into a secret refuge for Jews during World War II.
