Outline Problems, Suffering and Challenges she faced.
She had to go through three different concentration camps, which were like jail, and were hard to get through. In some of them she had to wake up for 4:30 roll call and if you missed it, then you wold get beaten, many other things would get you beaten too. She also lost her father at the first concentration camp and her sister in the last camp
Corrie Ten Boom faced many hardships in her life and they mainly gravitated around the WWII. Corrie and her family were taken to a city jail after trying to conceal some Jewish people in her family home. During her time here she was separated from her loved ones and later on found out that her two siblings had been released but that her father had dies. Corrie also had to see her sister die of illness and watch helplessly as she got weaker. These are both massive challenges that Corrie faced because it was a really sad time in her life where she had to pluck up the courage to push on with her life and stay strong in the hope that she would one day be released. Corrie Ten Boom overcame these challenges much through having a positive attitude towards all life threw at her and despite the fact that things were going very much the opposite to how she had planned them to, she pushed on. Corrie also got through these tough times with the help of her sister who was there to support her right up until her last day. How did she overcome these challenges?
She overcame most of these things with the help of her sister. Up until the last camp, her sister was there for her the whole time. She was by her side and helped her get over these things. She also overcame these things with the help of God, he was always with her and helped her with everything that she went through. She says in her book, ``Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength.''
What has she achieved?
First of all, she hid some Jews in her house to try and save them from the people trying to kill them. She also escaped from Ravensbuck concentration camp alive. Which would be hard since they were very brutal there. She also achieved her sisters dream, which was to make a camp for people who had been hurt in the concentration camp.
