After The War
After the war, Corrie returned to the Netherlands. There she began her global ministry of helping out the victims of war to recover. She made a house for people from concentration camps. Eventually, she learned to forgive those who wronged her. She found the greatest need for restoration in Germany. Once, while she was speaking in Germany, she met a former Nazi soldier who had worked at Ravensbruck. Corrie spoke at over sixty countries, telling about what she and Betsie had learned about God in the camp. With the help of several christian organizations, Corrie was able to turn a concentration camp named Darmstadt into a home for Germans who lost their homes in the war. Corrie spoke with Billy Graham, and was knighted by the Queen of the Netherlands. Corrie also wrote a book titled "The Hiding Place," about her experiences during the war. Her house The Beje, is now a museum. Overall, Corrie was a distinguished christian of the nineteenth century. She stood up for God and for the Jews and was rewarded for it. She died on her Birthday, April 15th, 1983.
