Anne Frank Diary Keeper Dies at 100
Miep Gies, one of the Dutch citizens who hid Anne Frank and her family from the Nazis, has died at age 100.
Before the hiding place was emptied by the authorities, Miep retrieved Anne Frank's diaries and saved them in her desk drawer waiting for Anne's return. Once the war was over and it was confirmed that Anne had died in a concentration camp, Gies gave the collection of papers and notebooks to the sole survivor from the secret annex, Anne's father, Otto.
