Corrie Ten Boom Research Paper
¨How does one mourn for six million people who died? How many candles does one light? How many prayers does one recite? Do we know how to remember the victims, their solitude, their helplessness? They left without a trace, and we are their trace,¨ (Elie Wiesel). Millions dead, 1.5 million were children; they were tortured and starved to death. Some say that nobody really died, that the genocide didn't happen, that the Holocaust didn't exist. However, Evidence proves those few people wrong.

Corrie and her family welcomed many Jews into their home, risking their own lives by creating a ¨Hiding Place¨ within Corrie's bedroom and concealed from the outside. On the day of the raid, February 28, 1944, six jews were hidden safely inside the secret room, but the German soldiers had been informed of the system inside their home.

Adolf Hitler committed suicide along with his wife, April 30, 1945. There are any different theories on how he died and some of them go along with the idea that the Holocaust didn't exist. This is why we need to go through all the facts before trying to convince somebody that something's
