Toronto: Evangelical Publishers, 1947.

Rare first edition of Corrie ten Boom’s story of her imprisonment at the Scheveningen Prison and Ravensbrück concentration camps. Octavo, original cloth.

During the Second World War, Dutch Christian watchmaker and writer Corrie ten Boom helped many Jews escape the Nazis from the Holocaust with the assistance of her sister, father and other family members. In 1944, the ten Booms were caught and sent to Scheveningen Prison. Corrie and her sister Betsie were later sent to the exclusively-female Ravensbrück concentration camp in Northern Germany after Corrie endured three months of solitary confinement. This is the story of the horrors of Corrie's imprisonment, her undying faith, and miraculous release in the midst of the Dutch famine of 1944–45.
