About the Book

KIK TEN BOOM, THE CLOCKMAKER´S GRANDSON:
TIMELY & INSPIRING READING FOR 2024

Five decades after Corrie ten Boom --the prominent Dutch humanitarian activist and survivor of Nazism-- touched the world with the publication of her memoirs, it comes to light the until now unknown story of Kik ten Boom, her nephew and main fellow in the rescue of persecuted Jews and dissidents during the Second World War.

REVIEW

On May 10, 1940 the Netherlands (Holland) were invaded by Nazi Germany. Over the five years of occupation, the Dutch lived under the shadow of fear and took different positions in the face of the looting and oppression of the Third Reich: a great majority decided to adapt themselves to the situation, a shameful minority decided to collaborate with the enemy and an honorable minority decided to resist.

Christiaan Johannes (Kik) ten Boom (1920-1945), inspired by his grandfather's spirituality and social ethics, took up the dangerous challenge of joining the resistance movement. As a worker of the LO-LKP underground organizations and under the pseudonym Phylax, he played a decisive role together with his aunt Corrie ten Boom in the leadership of the BJ Group: a secret network made up of his entire family, his girlfriend, many friends and dozens of anonymous fellows.

It was in that network, with headquarters in the cities of Haarlem and Hilversum, where more than eight hundred persecuted Jews and political dissidents found not only hiding places, forged identity documents and ration cards stolen to survive, but also an affective and supportive community that helped them to face life and even death through the wisdom of love, common good and peace.

Kik ten Boom, The Clockmaker's Grandson is a historical novel based on true events, the result of an exhaustive research carried out from Argentina, that rescues from oblivion a detained-disappeared under Nazism and hero of the Dutch resistance. It is a very timely reading for those who, dissatisfied with the deceptive system of injustice oppressing the world, seek alternative paradigms that contribute to the individual and collective construction of an authentic good living.

"My love, once the war ends, will take up my studies, we will get married and have happy children... But in these days of desolation, while the Nazis are destroying our people, I could not do anything but to help save the most possible number of lives." (Words of Kik ten Boom to his girlfriend Hanneke, 1944)
