the world lost a remarkable woman today

Rest in Peace, Miep Gies

You are the epitome of what a hero should be. Without you, the world would have never known Anne Frank. And that would've been sad, indeed.

Tonight, I will get out my copy of Anne Frank - The Diary of a Young Girl and I will read it again. In memory of you.

She was an amazing woman who stood up to the horrific wrongs of her time. She showed such bravery! I wish there were more like her around.

Well said. She spent her entire life post-war educating people on the evils of intolerance. Have you ever seen Freedom Writers? She makes a cameo appearance in the movie.

Oh no. :( I hope others can learn from her bravery.
