Miep Gies Dies at 100
---------------------



And Miep Gies, the last surviving link to the Nazi Holocaust diarist
Anne Frank, has died. She was 100 years old. Gies helped hide Frank and
her family for over two years during the Second World War. Gies hid and
preserved Frank’s diaries and later gave them to her father Otto, the
only surviving member of the Frank family.
