Another good one gone

The headline says it all: "Miep Gies, who helped hide Anne Frank, dies at 100". The Times has an article:

The last surviving member of a group who helped to shelter Anne Frank and her family from the Nazis in Amsterdam died last night. Miep Gies, the woman who rescued Anne's diary after the family was arrested in 1944, died at a Dutch nursing home, aged 100, after suffering a fall. Mrs. Gies and several other employees of Anne’s father provided food and other necessities to the Jewish family while they hid in a concealed apartment. During the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands she had spent 25 months in hiding with her sister, parents, and four other Jewish people in the attic above her father’s office. Their hide-out was raided on 4 August 1944 and they were sent to concentration camps. Anne Frank died of typhus in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in March of 1945, aged 15. Only Anne’s father, Otto, survived. Mrs. Gies, who found the diary, gave it to the girl’s father.
The Diary of Anne Frank, the poignant journal in which the Jewish teenager chronicled her days in the attic, was published in 1947.
Mrs. Gies became an ambassador for the diary, travelling to talk about Anne and campaigning against Holocaust denial. Speaking last year as she celebrated her 100th birthday, Mrs Gies played down her role, saying others had done far more to protect Jews in the Netherlands.
