Mama, however, reassured her by sharing what she saw as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-key-to-happiness\/\">the key to happiness<\/a>. <strong>Happiness was not simply a product of one\u2019s surroundings\u2014it was something that you created for yourself.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nollie&#8217;s Wedding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In 1918, Cornelia ten Boom, Corrie\u2019s mother, suffered a cerebral hemorrhage that put her into a coma<\/strong>. She lay unconscious for two months before she finally came out of it. She managed to survive, but she was a shadow of her former self.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite her condition, Cornelia survived to see the wedding of her daughter Nollie ten Boom in 1921. At the wedding, something miraculous happened. Cornelia, who had not spoken coherently in years, suddenly rose to sing the hymn \u201cFairest Lord Jesus,\u201d with the entire assembled family and congregation joining her in rapturous wonder. For Corrie, it was a miracle, albeit a temporary one, a blessing from God on that happy day. <strong>Mama passed away a mere four weeks after Nollie\u2019s wedding, but no one, least of all Corrie, ever forgot her moment of grace.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Children and Family Life<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the years that followed, Corrie settled into her life as a dedicated spinster aunt. As her siblings got married and started families of their own, she became a caregiver to a growing brood of nieces and nephews, whom she loved as though they were her own children. <strong>Although she loved them all, she was especially fond of Peter, one of Nollie\u2019s sons<\/strong>. Peter was a musical prodigy who delighted the family, and the community at large, with his magnificent and beautiful piano playing. She also became the bookkeeper for her father\u2019s watch shop, helping to bring some order and regularity to Casper\u2019s notoriously eccentric business practices. In her life at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/corrie-ten-boom-house-the-beje\/\">the Beje<\/a>, she was joined by her older sister Betsie, who also chose not to marry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resistance and Defiance by Nollie ten Boom and Peter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>By May 1942, the Holocaust was in full swing, with Jews being deported <\/strong><strong><em>en masse<\/em><\/strong><strong> from German-occupied countries to labor and extermination camps in Eastern Europe<\/strong>. Although the full extent of what was happening to the deported Jews was not yet known by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-ten-boom-family-the-hiding-place\/\">ten Boom family<\/a>, they knew that their Jewish neighbors were in grave danger. Nollie, like Willem, had begun the work of hiding Jews, using her connections with the Dutch Resistance to secure documents that would conceal their Jewish identities. She was soon harboring two Jewish women full-time in her home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The family was resisting the Nazi oppression in other ways as well. One day in church, Corrie\u2019s beloved nephew Peter performed the \u201cWilhelmus,\u201d the Dutch national anthem, which had been expressly banned by the occupation authorities. As the familiar chords began to ring out in the cathedral, the entire congregation sang along, <strong>joining Peter in this small, but powerful act of defiance and national pride in the face of tyranny.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corrie was displeased by Peter\u2019s showy act of defiance. Nollie ten Boom was hiding two Jewish women in her home, to say nothing of Willem\u2019s activities. The Gestapo would surely hear about Peter\u2019s performance, which would bring dangerous scrutiny to the ten Boom family. Sure enough, within days of playing the forbidden anthem, Peter was arrested by the Gestapo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who was Nollie ten Boom?
