About the event
Set in Haarlem, Holland, The Watchmaker’s Daughter follows the Ten Boom family as they turn their century-old watch shop into a sanctuary for Jewish neighbors fleeing Nazi persecution.
As danger intensifies, the family builds a hidden room in their home and becomes part of an underground resistance network. When betrayal leads to arrest and imprisonment, Corrie and her sister Betsie must confront unimaginable loss inside Ravensbrück concentration camp.
In the barracks of suffering, Betsie declares a radical truth: love is stronger than hate. Forgiveness is the final battle.
More than a story of survival, this musical invites audiences into a legacy of courageous obedience and enduring hope—reminding us that there is no darkness beyond the reach of God’s light.
