IF NOT FOR HER SAVING ANNE FRANKS DIARY... WE WOULD NEVER HAVE READ IT! 100 YEAR OLD MIEP GIES PASSES AWAY !

Link now to this Yahoo news story about Miep Gies, who put the papers that were Anne Frank's diary away in her desk... Anne's diary was required reading when I was in the fifth grade. I'm not sure we understood the Holocaust, focusing instead on Anne falling in love with Peter... There were many heroic individuals who risked their own lives to hide other people in Poland, Germany, the occupied countries during the Nazi terror.
