She truly was one of history's most compelling women, and her stories are so inspiring. You mentioned two of my favorites, about the fleas and the guard who became a Christian.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16678651951356278532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-2068302143238019702014-10-22T01:43:01.619-04:002014-10-22T01:43:01.619-04:00Hello Rebecca.

Who I always think of with a question was a Jew girl in Germany. During the WW II her family hid people from the Germans. But at some point they caught her family and put them in the Auswisch camps. She was always encouraging the others around her. She had a few pages of the Bible hidden and read to the others in the cramped room where they were kept. She even thanked GOD for the lice and flees, because the guards wouldn't enter their room. Later most of her family was gassed in the gas chambers. She was released one day before she was to go the gas chamber. She talked to a German guard who had been there and he told her she was released by mistake. She told him it wasn't a mistake, but what GOD wanted. She brought him to know the Lord and many, many others by spending the rest of her life teaching others how to become followers of Christ. If you haven't read her books, you should. She was Corrie ten Boom. She did wind up in America.
