Miep Gies, who protected the diary of Anne Frank, which did not fall into the hands of Nazis after the teen's arrest, died at the age of 100. She and other three protected Anne Frank's family of four, plus another four. When they were betrayed, two of Miep's team were arrested for fraud, she and another friend were left behind with Frank's diary. Miep respected Anne's privacy, and didn't read the diary, which was given to her(Anne) by Otto, her father, which was a gift from Gies.


Our opinion is that its sad that such a hero, both for Jews, and for anyone else died. She was a good person, and we hope she'll rest in peace. We also think that it was shocking that she died and that she was one of our best sources to know about Anne Frank. We also think that a great idol died, and that its sad because although she might have suffered alot, they mantained them.
