Riveting Inspiring Giving Voice to the Legacy of Corrie Ten Boom – Presentations by Susie Sandager – A series of educational and inspirational programs for churches, synagogues and Communities. “Sadly, true accounts of brave Christians rescuing Jews during the Holocaust are quite rare. The Corrie Ten Boom story is an awe inspiring classic. Susie Sandager brilliantly recounts a timeless family story, relevant to Christians and Jews, deeply rooted in love for God and respect for his covenant. In her one-woman presentation, Sandager also issues a remarkable challenge, a message of daring to care in a world of indifference and inhumanity; indeed, for Sandager, like Corrie the survivor she depicts, the lessons of the indescribable tragedy of the Holocaust must never again be ignored or unheeded. Susie Sandager’s acting is intensely moving as she brings to life her courageous character Corrie. Each time I view Sandager’s production I am reminded anew of the importance of love to overcome evil, and also why, more than ever, positive Christian-Jewish relations are imperative today.” Marvin R. Wilson, Ph.D. Professor of Biblical Studies Gordon College, Wenham, MA For More Information Contact: www.SandagerPresentations.com [email protected] or call 505-823-1439 This moving drama recounts the efforts of the ten Boom family to stand for God, and to stand with and for the Jewish people during the darkest days of the Holocaust.

Malcolm Hedding, Exsc. Director Int’l Christian Embassy Jerusalem In this dramatization, Corrie tells the story of her brother Willem, an ordained minister in the Dutch Reformed Church who was part of the Dutch underground.
