MIEP GIES

Looks like a word quiz doesn't it? The letters are all mixed up and if you unscramble them, they will spell 2 other words.

Well...not in this case.

Miep Gies is a hero in the Jewish world. For without her, there would likely not be a history of Anne Frank, the teenage German girl who wrote of her short life in her diary as she, and her family, hid from the Germans during their persecution in the early years of WWII.

It was Miep Gies who agreed to hide the Frank family in a 'secret room'...providing them with food, books, friendship and loyalty.

Miep Gies...died this week at the age of 100.

A hero...who unknowingly by her actions...altered the landscape of the world.

God bless Miep Gies.
