After the War
After her release at the end of 1944, Corrie returned to Holland. When World War II ended, she started her trips around the world to tell about her experiences in the prisons and camps. In 1976, Corrie ten Boom asked an English woman, Pam Rosewell Moore, to be her companion. Pam accompanied Corrie on her trip to America and Southern California when Corrie decided to live there. By now, Miss ten Boom was getting invitations from all over the world, but because of her age her traveling was restricted for the most part within the United States. In the early 1980s, Corrie had the first of a series of severe strokes which confined her to bed in the front of her Southern California home. Corrie died on April 15, 1983, her 91st birthday. "In the Jewish tradition, it is only very blessed people who are allowed the special privelege of dying on their birthday!" (corrietenboom.com/history)
Corrie is still a role model for all followers of the Christian faith, even those who aren't. She played a big role in getting past the grievancy after World War II, and her speeches were uplifting and filled with joy. Because of Corrie ten Boom, there are so many changed people in the world, and these people will pass their new knowledge to their families for generations to come.
