Mine is Betsie ten Boom, sister of Corrie ten Boom. Both were sent to the camp at Ravensbrück. Corrie survived, Betsie did not.

She wasn't a clergyman and Ravensbrück isn't Dachau but that's OK.....keep waving the flag.

Thank you for providing their names, it is very important that we remember them. I just learned that some of my mothers namesake were in the camps, her ggrandparents came to America long before the war, but I am sure there were relatives left behind.

Gamecock:I will now go back and read the story as you suggested by clicking on the picture. I try to read as much as possible any book or article that will tell me of first hand experiences of survival in the camps. Never forget
