Let me tell you about Ready or Not, the tactical first-person shooter where you take command of a SWAT team and feel the weight of the badge. Recently, I reunited with my Legion of Boom teammates, Cliff Averill, Cam Chancer, Michael Bennett, and Walter Thurmond. We partnered with Ready or Not to go through actual SWAT training and film the whole experience.

All in all, it's estimated that around 800 Jews were saved by Corey Temboom. Her sister Betsy. and the rest of her family's efforts. After Holland's surrender to the Nazis, they hid Jews. In a secret room in their home, or Baye, in Hallam, Netherlands, near Amsterdam.
We'd like to thank Vision Video for contributing the footage for this story.
So without any further ado, here's Ore Tenboom. A shadow fell across us in 1940. But it rested lightly. Nobody dreamed that this tiny cloud would grow until it blocked out the sky. And nobody dreamed that in this darkness each of us would be called to play a role.
Even the funny old Bayet with its unmatching floor levels and ancient angles. Life was very changed when the war arrived. I will never forget that through these streets and I saw tanks and it was a real performance, this big, huge army going through the streets to make impression on us. And I can still remember these boots. Marching over the streets.
Dum Dum Dum. It was strange. When Uh German uniforms were seen. Yeah. And we had to obey.
the people of the occupation. These are tortured. They contained must be shut back on us.
Now I'll best in the hundred eighty south. The meeting of many dialers stands with you. I have spread the deed on behalf of I'll give you a bar. The beginning was not so terrible. We had only five days war, then we had to surrender and it seemed that Things were a little bit the same as before.
Hello, friends. respectfully. Betsy tried to keep our life as normal as was possible. She didn't agree with all the things that the enemy told us to do and she tried even to make the meals as normal and good as before. Yeah.
We really learn to know. The people are owners. They were friends. We're always thought you can depend on them. But it changed.
They could get some more food when they helped the enemy. But the example of my father was a great help. although he was at last a weak old man. His spiritual strength helped all of us. My old algorithm, all made of seventeen.
When the Germans came in Holland, the young men especially were in great danger. They needed workers in ammunition factories. They came and took the boys just from the street. These ratsyas were terrible. Almost every uh family was really in great danger and need.
I think of my nephews Kick and Peter.
Sometimes when they had to go through the street, Then we uh gave them uh girls' dresses.
Sometimes we have left. when they had that, when they went in girls' dresses in the street. But in reality it was very sad. During the first year of German rule, there were only minor attacks on Jews in the Hond. It was as though they were trying us, testing the temper of the country.
On our daily walk, Father and I saw the symptoms spread. Jews will not be served. No use. It began slowly. But the Nazi propaganda machine spewed out its poison.
The yellow star served to mark the prey. In the early morning hours, many loyal Dutchmen were forced from their beds. They left their homes like shadows. They would never return. As soon as we saw the danger there for all the Jewish people, we warned many of them.
I remember that father and I went to Dr. Hemstra, one of our friends. Just imagine. that mister Von Hermstra will be brought to a concentration camp. his wife to another concentration camp.
His children will be killed. And that moment I took a decision. That's supposed to be given. There were many underground workers in Holland. Lembaille had many secrets.
The good thing was that there were two entrances in the shop and in the alley. And we always looked very carefully who came.
Some of the neighbors did not know. and it was better that they didn't know it. We did not talk about the Jews outside. We were a small family of three people, my father with two of his spinster daughters. I'm sorry, Mr.
Speaker. We just played the game as if that was the whole family. Mr. Greisman? The work became so important that the Bayet needed a hiding place in case the Gestapo came for an inspection.
The secret room was made in my bedroom. There was a famous architect who made these hiding places, and that was his part in underground work, very important. I will never forget that he came upstairs and through the whole house to see where it was possible. And because this room was the highest of the house, he chose this. My tiny bedroom.
The wall was made of brick. And that was the secret of the hiding place. When they started to knock at it, it was a solid.
So they didn't find it. They had to creep um so into this opening of the hiding place. Yeah. Mary. And then when they were in it, they could close the back side of the closet so that you couldn't see there was an opening.
A non-privileged Jew will be unable to show his face in the Netherlands. At the same time, as a ex-commissioner, I will publish a decree that the possessions and whatever. Each day, more and more Jews were herded together on city street corners. Families. Young and old.
There were no exceptions. Post. Most publicly The Nazis succeeded in their attempt to camouflage the destiny of the departees. They spoke of labor service in Germany. Oh.
Our hat was stone. Seeing them hold away like sheep. Come on. dignified. Almost hopeful.
The human imagination could not accept the whispered rumors as to what awaited them. And you're listening to Corey Tamboom. And what a story she is telling. I am old, but I know about prison, she started. I know what it is like to be behind a door that only opens from the outside.

Let's pick up where we last left off. For two eventful years the Lord allowed us to help hundreds of people escape the Nazi death camps. Until February 28th. Nineteen hundred forty-four.
Well the juice! What juice? Lord Jesus help me! Oh. There on the street.
I remembered a dream that the Lord gave to me at the beginning of the war. As I watched, a kind of odd old farm wagon, old-fashioned and out of place in the middle of a city, came lumbering across the square, pulled by four enormous black horses. To my surprise, I saw that I myself was sitting in the wagon. And father too. And Betty.
There are many others, some strangers, some friends. I recognized Pickwick and Torres, Willem, and young Peter. Altogether, we were slowly being drawn across the square behind those horses. We couldn't get off the wagon. That was the terrible thing.
It was taking us away, far away. But we didn't want to go. Yeah. I did not know then what that dream meant. Later.
I understood. In this house. In 1844 there happened something. The minister said to my grandfather, Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. It is written.
In the Bible. My grandfather had never thought about it. But he saw that it was. a commandment in the Bible and he invited his friends and they came in this house every week. and at a prayer meeting.
For the use. A hundred years later. in this very same house. Grandfather Shun. Four of his grandchildren and a great-grandson were arrested.
because they had saved Jewish people. That was a divine, but not to understand. Answer on prayer. For a child. I remember that when father...
was warned by his friends and they said, don't have always Jewish people in that house. It will end up in prison for you. And father said, I'm too old for prison life. But when that will happen, it will be an honor to me to give my life for God's ancient people. And that's what really happened.
After Ten days already father died in prison. For the first week they put me in a cell with four or five others. I was very ill with pleurisy. The prison doctor said I would have tuberculosis.
So I was sent to solitary confinement. They did not want me to infect the others. Perhaps for the first time in my life, I was really alone. And I knew my life was completely in the hands of the enemy. It could kill me or torture me.
Hard. Just forget me altogether. There was no one to know. Yeah. At night the sounds of distant bong Penetrated thick wash.
and the muffled cries of people being tortured by the Gestapo. That was a little bit of hell. I tried singing. But the guards pounded on the door for silence. They threatened to take me to the dark shell.
In the dark cell you had to stand in water. Time became a very sick thing to have to wade through. There was a possibility each moment of the day and night that they would come for me. Whenever I heard footsteps outside my cell, I would ask myself Do they come to torture me? kill me Once I stood with my back against the wall.
Okay. of my cell with my hands spread out as if I would push it away and I was that scared. And then I said, Lord, I'm not strong enough. to stand all this My faith is not. Strong enough.
Then I saw an end. I had seen for days roam off the floor. I just mopped um the floor with a wet rag. The moment the uh end felt the Water on the stones. He ran to a little hole in the wall.
He did not stop to look at the wet rag or his weak feet. He went straight to his hiding place. Corey Don't look at your faith. It is weak like the tiny feet of that ant. Don't think of the possibilities of those cruel people.
I am your hiding place. And you can come to me like that and disappeared into the hole in the wall. And for the first time there came a real peace in my heart. I was fifty-three years old then. I'd always known about Jesus.
And now in solitary confinement I had started to really know. that his light is stronger than the deepest darkness. I have an idea that later when we are in heaven. We will look back and understand many things that are now not to understand by us. I can tell you about thousand answered prayers, but I also can tell you about many unanswered prayers.
Yeah, was a prayer. That I said every day when I was in prison in Holland, oh God, that they never bring us to a concentration camp. We had heard such terrible rumors. about what happened there. But God had other plans.
This is Betsy, my sister. She was in another part of the same prison. But I could never see her. Months later, We were transferred to a bigger prison in Holland. And then after that we were packed like cattle in boxcars.
and taken deep into Germany. The Nazis were emptying jails everywhere. Men prisoners were sent one way, women prisoners another. And you're listening to Corey Temboom, and it doesn't get more real than this, the confrontation. with evil And my goodness, face to face.
Is Cori and so many of the people of Western Europe, and so many allied Americans, and Canadians, and Australians? taking the fight. to the Nazi menace. Lord, I'm not strong enough to stand all of this. My faith.
is not strong enough. And my goodness, the Nazi menace.
Well, it put faith to the test throughout. Western Europe. I'm not sure Western Europe has recovered. Actually. And then that prayer, O God, may they never take us to a concentration camp.
But God had other plans, he said. when we come back more of the remarkable story of Kori Tenboom here. on our American stories. Um Want to sell your car your way? Who wouldn't?

Yeah. My sister and I, along with thousands of others, were marched into Raffensbrug. It was called a work camp. When we first came into the camp, they took everything away. It was a great miracle that I had my Bible.
I hid it under my dress on my back. And I prayed, Lord, will you send your angels to surround me? But then I thought... Angels are spirits and you can look through spirits and I don't want these people to see me.
So I prayed in my great fear. God, let your angels not be transparent today. They must cover me. And God did it. The woman in front of me was searched, and then my sister was directly behind me, but no one even noticed I was there.
Ah! The barracks they put us in were built for 200 women. Yeah. We packed 700 of us inside. The bunks were built up all the way to the ceiling.
We each had sleeping space a few inches wide. If they had all been working, we would have had eight toilets for the entire barracks. It was so dangerous in Ravensburg to use the word of God. If the guards caught you, you were killed in a very cruel way, but they never knew that I had a Bible meeting twice every day in Barracks 28. The room was filthy, crawling with fleas and lice.
That's why the guards never came in past the door.
So you see that the Lord used angels and lies to leave us our Bible. I don't mean to say it was pleasant. There were moments of great despair. I remember one night I was outside the barracks. and they have a beautiful stash.
In I said Lord. You guide all these stars. You have not forgotten one of them, but you have forgotten Betsy and me. And then Betsy said no. He does not forget us.
I know that from the Bible the Lord Jesus has said, I am with you always until the end of the world. And Cori, he is here with us. And we must believe that. It is not feeling. But believe in And I slowly learned not to trust in myself or my faith or my feelings or trusting in but trusting in him.
Feelings come and feelings go. They are deceitful. In all that hell around us, the promises from the Bible kept us sane. Rafan's book was a work game. It was the enemy's plan to work us to death.
Before the war would end, 96,000 women would die here. including dear Betsy, who became an old woman before my eyes and slowly starved. The smoke from the crematorium was like a black haze over the camp. Every day 700 women died. More were killed.
It was the only way to solve the problem. There were far too many of us.
So I look death in the eyes not once. But often And I found. that the Lord was still my hiding place. Betsy was now number six six seven two nine. I was six six seven three oh.
It was as if we had ceased to be human. was built to house 400 women. There were now 1400 of us.
Okay. Our small Bible became the center of an ever-widening circle of help and hope. Mm-hmm. like waves clustered around a blazing fire. we held out our heart to its warmth and light.
I had believed the Bible always. But reading it now had nothing to do with belief. It was simply a description of the way things were. of hell and heaven. of how men act.
and how God acts. Betsy seemed mercifully oblivious to pain and despair. Watching her, I often wondered if God had put a hedge about her. as he had about Job so long ago. The cold was affecting Betsy's legs.
They were like wood. She weighed no more than a child. She could no longer stamp her feet as the rest of us did to keep her blood flowing. More and more the distinction between prayer and the rest of life seemed to be finishing for Betsy. Betsy was gone.
There was no coal now. Law Holmes. Yeah. Nothing between Betsy and the face of Keesis. And there I saw already a little bit God's Side.
This uh when when the Lord takes us very close to Himself, we see the things more or less. from God's point of view. In some way we are protected, but not But it's not in the Bible that the Lord will tell that you have no cross to bear. Just contrary. The Bible says take up your cross and follow The Lord Jesus.
And to follow the Lord Jesus, that means. to Share in his suffering, But he gave grace. To do it. And he even Give joy There is Almost a joyful sight in suffering for the Lord, especially in suffering for the Lord. Because we know that Jesus has suffered so much for us at the cross.
Jamboom Cornelia. Three mornings after Betsy's death, I was summoned to the administration barracks. Yeah. Years later, it was learned my release came through a clerical error. what some might call a mistake.
Not long after I was set free. Women my age were put to death. It was in a meeting in Germany. Um I saw suddenly in the in the midst of the crowd, a woman who wouldn't look into my eyes. And suddenly I saw that woman That is the nurse who has been cruel.
to Betsy when she was dying. And there came hatred in my heart. But I knew when I do not forgive those who have sinned against me. then the Heavenly Father will not forgive me.
So I Said, Lord, I cannot forgive her. But Lord, I claim Romans 5, 5, the love of God is shed abroad into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who is given to us. And I said thank you, Jesus. that you have brought into my heart God's love. through the Holy Spirit.
And thank you, Father, that your love in me is stronger than my hatred. And the same moment I could love that nurse. And I was used afterwards. to bring her to a decision for Jesus Christ.
Now just imagine I I'd hated her. But when the Lord cleanses you with his blood, he does such a good job. that He can fill your heart with His love. Yes. I am Corey Tamboom.
And I have told to anyone who would listen. No pit. is so deep. That he is not deeper still. With Jesus.
Even in our darkest moments. The best remains. And the very best he had to be. I promised my sister I would tell it. And I tell you And a special thanks to Greg Hengler.
Great job on the production, as always. And we'd like to thank Vision Video for contributing the footage for this story.
