Through the decades the Ten Booms were very active in social work in Haarlem, and their faith inspired them to serve the religious community and society at large. The Ten Boom family was recognized as a dedicated Christian family who gave their life in service of the people who were suffering and needed help. For decades the family was involved in some of the most inspirational and bravery work in Haarlem, Holland. They had great faith in Christianity principles and served as per these faiths. In the time of Second World War, they turned their home into a refugee camp to help the people by providing them shelter and food. They also used their home as a hiding place for Jews, who were being hunted by the Nazis at the time of Holocaust one of the bloodiest movement by the Nazis. In the act of helping these people save their lives, the Ten Boom sisters risked their own lives for which they were given imprisonment at ravenbruck camp where Bestie died by the cruel behavior and treatment.
