Miep Gies

On Tuesday this week, Miep Gies, the secretary who hid and provided food and supplies to Anne Frank and her family, died at the age of 100 years. Miep wrote her won account of that experience in her book, "Anne Frank Remembered". I read that book last year, and was truly moved by it. Just thought we should remember what an incredible, humble person Miep was. Here's a link to a newspaper story written this week after she passed away. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100112/ap_on_re_eu/eu_netherlands_obit_miep_gies
