Miep Gies, helper of Anne Frank, dies aged 100

In Memoriam Miep Gies, 1909 2010. Miep Gies, the last surviving and best-known helper of Anne Frank and the others in hiding, died at the age of 100 in Hoorn on 11 January 2010. Right until the end, Miep remained deeply involved with the remembrance of Anne Frank and with spreading her story.

Every day, Miep received letters from all over the world with questions about her relationship with Anne Frank and her role as a helper. "I'm not a hero', she once said, "It wasn't something I planned in advance, I simply did what I could to help." In this video Miep Gies tells how Otto Frank asked her to help him and his family during hiding.

Thanks for the tribute video. 5 stars and I just favorited it. She was a great lady, we're all so thankful to her for what she did for the families who hid in the Secret Annex and for saving Anne's diary.
