"More than 20,000 Dutch people helped to hide Jews and others in need of hiding during those years. I willingly did what I could to help. My husband did as well. It was not enough," she says in the prologue of her memoirs...

Everyone with any humanity should mourn the loss of Miep Gies and salute her bravery ..without her , we might not know..( or have felt on such a personal level if we were not yet born at the time ) why "never again" ( IMO "never again" applies to any "tribe" or "ethnicity" ..) must always be in the minds of all generations , of all peoples to come ..

Thank you Miep ..
