Andrea read this article on the BBC News website today http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/8453331.stm about one of her favourite people, Miep Gies. She was one of the heros that hid Anne Frank and her family from the Nazis.
Miep died today in Netherlands, aged 100 years old.

My owner has a book written by Miep Gies, where she tells her side of the Anne Frank story. It's very beautiful she says. In english it's called: 'Anne Frank Remembered. The Story of the Woman Who Helped to Hide the Frank Family'
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't read it yet, my owner can advice you to read it.
Andrea says she has the book too! Yes, we went to see Achterhuis when we went to Amsterdam, but it was closed. Andrea showed me that little Anne Frank statue too, by the church!
