Miep Gies Dies
Miep Gies, the woman who hid Anne Frank and her family from the Nazis, died yesterday at the age of 100. When the Franks were betrayed and taken to the concentration camps, Gies returned to the attic and rescued Anne's diary.
She always insisted that she was not a hero, but many would disagree. You can hear her story in this brief NPR segment.
