Subtitrare in limba romana Her teaching focused on the Christian Gospel, with emphasis on forgiveness. In her book Tramp for the Lord (1974), she tells the story of an encounter while she was teaching in Germany in 1947. She was approached by a former Ravensbrück camp guard, who had been known as one of the most cruel. She was reluctant to forgive him, but prayed that she would be able to. Ten Boom wrote: For a long moment we grasped each other's hands, the former guard and the former prisoner. I had never known God's love so intensely as I did then. She also wrote (in the same passage) that in her post-war experience with other victims of Nazi brutality, it was those who were able to forgive who were best able to rebuild their lives. She appeared on many Christian television programs discussing her ordeal during the Holocaust and the concepts of forgiveness and God's love. She rejected the doctrine that some asserted, of Pre-Tribulation Rapture, and wrote that it was without Biblical foundation. She believed that such a doctrine left the Christian Church ill-prepared in times of great persecution, such as in China under Mao Zedong. She often quoted a favourite saying of her sister: "There is no pit so deep that He [God] is not deeper still." On February 28, 1944, a Dutch informant told the Nazis of the work the ten Booms were doing, and the Nazis arrested the entire ten Boom family at around 12:30 p.m. The family was sent first to Scheveningen prison, where their elderly father died ten days after his arrest. While there, ten Boom's sister Nollie, brother Willem, and nephew Peter were all released. Later, ten Boom and sister Betsie were sent to the Vught political concentration camp, and finally to the Ravensbrück death camp in Germany. Betsie died there on December 16, 1944. Before she died, she told ten Boom, "There is no pit so deep that He [God] is not deeper still."[ Corrie ten Boom was released on December 28, 1944. In the movie The Hiding Place, she narrates the section on her release from camp, saying that she later learned that her release had been a clerical error. She said, "God does not have problems — only plans." The Jews whom the ten Booms had been hiding at the time of their arrests remained undiscovered and all but one, an old woman named Mary, survived. Corrie si Betsie Ten Boom sunt surori de varsta mijlocie care lucreaza in magazinul orologerie al tatalui lor in al doilea razboi mondial Olanda. Vietile lor lipsite de evenimente sunt perturbate cu venirea nazistilor. Suspectati ca erau evrei , au fost prinsi si trimisi , într-un lagar de concentrare, unde credinta lor crestina ii tine departe de disperare si amaraciune. Betsie în cele din urma moare, dar Corrie supravietuieste, iar dupa razboi, trebuie sa invete sa iubeasca si sa ierte rapitorii ei anterioare.
