Miep Gies, Saviour of the Anne Frank Diary passes away

Post by Simon H »

Miep Gies, who helped conceal Anne Frank and her family has passed away aged 100. It was Miep who found Anne Frank's diary after the family had been taken by the Germans and was later able to return it to Annes Father who subsequently had it published in 1947.

Another remarkable link to a remarkable story has been broken. May she rest in peace. The item as listed on the BBC yesterday;
