Corrie and Betsie ten Boom had to learn to give thanks in all circumstances,
including Ravensbrück Concentration Camp during War World II. Their family
was arrested by Nazis for hiding Jews and consequently sent to concentration
camps. Corrie and Bestie were moved to a new barrack invested with fleas, yet
they were able to find a reason to give thanks to God (James Emery White,
“Thankful for the Fleas,” Church & Culture [blog], November 26, 2008,
