TWD Condolences For 1/11/10: A 100 Year Life To Be Remembered Forever

A great lady indeed who deserves all the attention has passed away:

Miep Gies, the last surviving member of the group who helped protect Anne Frank and her family from the Nazis, has died in the Netherlands aged 100.

She and other employees of Anne Frank's father Otto supplied food to the family as they hid in a secret annex above the business premises in Amsterdam.

Anne's diary of their life in hiding, which ended in betrayal, is one of the most famous records of the Holocaust.

And this quote definitely is a telling one from her...."I had no idea she was writing it all down."

TWD condolences to the family of this historic woman.
