This undertaking led to the arrest of the family, and Corrie ten Boom was sent to the Ravensbrück concentration camp. She worked in both Dutch and English as a writer and public speaker, and she received the Righteous Among the Nations award in recognition of her actions in protecting Jewish people. She was also honoured with the Knight of the Order of Orange-Nassau.\n\nHer most prominent book, The Hiding Place, recounts the story of her family's efforts and their concentration camp imprisonment, presenting those events in autobiographical form. Ten Boom worked as a Christian writer and public speaker, and her output across those roles reflected her identity as both an autobiographer and a public figure engaged with the experiences documented in her writing.\n\nTen Boom died on 15 April 1983 in Placentia, on what was also her ninety-first birthday. The Hiding Place, with its direct account of her family's conduct during their imprisonment, stands as the concrete record through which her autobiography of those wartime years is known.","Corrie ten Boom was a Dutch watchmaker, writer, and autobiographer born in Amsterdam on 15 April 1892 and a citizen of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.",{"@graph":12,"@context":48},[13,25],{"@id":14,"name":6,"@type":15,"sameAs":16,"birthDate":22,"deathDate":23,"description":24},"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q241097","Person",[14,17,18,19,20,21],"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrie_ten_Boom","https://viaf.org/viaf/95161170/","https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n79071041","https://openlibrary.org/authors/OL229401A","https://d-nb.info/gnd/118513389","1892-04-15","1983-04-15","Dutch resistance hero and writer",{"@type":26,"author":27,"headline":30,"isBasedOn":31,"mainEntity":32,"reviewedBy":33,"articleBody":9,"dateCreated":34,"dateModified":35,"additionalProperty":36,"creativeWorkStatus":47},"Article",{"name":28,"@type":29},"Editorial Team","Organization","corrie ten boom — biography",[14,17,19,20],{"@id":14},{"name":28,"@type":29},"2026-05-24T07:36:50.821571+00:00","2026-05-24T07:44:07.997508+00:00",[37,41,44],{"@type":38,"value":39,"propertyID":40},"PropertyValue","Q241097","wikidata",{"@type":38,"value":42,"propertyID":43},"1.000","factscore",{"@type":38,"value":45,"propertyID":46},"claude-sonnet-4-6-r1","draftModel","AI-drafted, auto-published","https://schema.org","corrie-ten-boom",null,[52,56,60,64,67,71,75,79,82,85,89],{"tag_id":53,"tag_name":54,"tag_count":55},254,"christian",15,{"tag_id":57,"tag_name":58,"tag_count":59},85,"faith",11,{"tag_id":61,"tag_name":62,"tag_count":63},91,"jesus",10,{"tag_id":65,"tag_name":66,"tag_count":63},255,"god",{"tag_id":68,"tag_name":69,"tag_count":70},222,"inspirational",9,{"tag_id":72,"tag_name":73,"tag_count":74},3176,"prayer",8,{"tag_id":76,"tag_name":77,"tag_count":78},882,"worry",6,{"tag_id":80,"tag_name":81,"tag_count":78},1085,"christianity",{"tag_id":83,"tag_name":84,"tag_count":78},3785,"giving",{"tag_id":86,"tag_name":87,"tag_count":88},25,"love",5,{"tag_id":90,"tag_name":91,"tag_count":88},4376,"forgiveness",{"quotes":93,"pagination":158},[94,102,108,114,121,127,133,140,146,152],{"id":95,"quote_text":96,"author_id":5,"source_id":74,"has_image":97,"author":98,"source":99,"quote_tag":100,"commentary":101},4012943,"Any concern too small to be a prayer is too small to be a burden.",false,{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":49,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":50},{},[],"**The Backstory**\nThis quote is often attributed to Corrie ten Boom, a Dutch Christian who helped Jews escape the Nazis during World War II. As a survivor of the Ravensbrück concentration camp, Corrie ten Boom's experiences with hope, resilience, and faith are a testament to the human spirit. This quote likely originated from her post-war writings, where she reflected on the transformative power of prayer.\n\n**The Hidden Insight**\nThe quote \"Any concern too small to be a prayer is too small to be a burden\" reveals a paradoxical relationship between concern and prayer. On the surface, it seems to suggest that we should pray about everything, no matter how trivial. However, the deeper meaning lies in the idea that our concerns become burdens when we try to carry them alone, without surrendering them to a higher power. This quote encourages us to recognize that our worries can be lifted when we acknowledge their insignificance in the grand scheme of life, and instead, focus on the power of prayer to alleviate them.\n\n**How to Use This**\nWhen faced with a seemingly insurmountable problem, try to reframe your concern as a prayer, rather than a burden. By doing so, you can release the weight of responsibility and trust in a higher power to guide you, allowing you to approach the challenge with a clearer mind and a sense of hope.",{"id":103,"quote_text":104,"author_id":5,"source_id":74,"has_image":97,"author":105,"source":106,"quote_tag":107,"commentary":50},4012934,"Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength carrying two days at once.

This quote likely reflects her experiences during this time, where she learned to trust in God's presence and care amidst unimaginable hardship.\n\n**The Hidden Insight**\nThe quote reveals a profound paradox: our smallest concerns, if left unspoken, can become crushing burdens, while elevating them to prayer can transform them into manageable, shared responsibilities with God. This insight suggests that our tendency to suppress or downplay our worries can actually increase their weight, rather than alleviating it.\n\n**How to Use This**\nTo apply this mindset today, acknowledge and verbalize your smallest concerns as prayers, recognizing that God desires to bear the weight of even the most mundane burdens.

This paradox highlights the tension between emotional spontaneity and intentional discipline in spiritual growth.\n\n**How to Use This**\nIn today's fast-paced, often chaotic work environment, it's easy to get caught up in feeling like we're too busy or too stressed to prioritize our spiritual well-being.
