"Corrie, there is so much bitterness," Betsie had said. "This concentration camp here at Ravensbrück has been used to destroy many, many lives. There are many other such camps throughout Germany. After the war they will not have use for them anymore. I have prayed that the Lord will give us one in Germany. We will use it to build up lives."
Corrie had found the idea repulsive at the time. Never again did she want to step foot in Germany. But Betsie’s words echoed in her mind: "The Germans are the most wounded of all the people in the world."
