Notes from a snowy day in central Ohio.....

A most incredible woman has passed away.
NPR:

Miep Gies, who helped Anne Frank and her family avoid capture by the Nazis for more than two years and safeguarded the young Holocaust victim's famous diary for posterity, has died at age 100....

In that horrible time, Miep Gies showed courage in protecting and hiding Anne Frank and others. She stood up and did what was right in the face of tremendous odds. There is additional information at the Miep Gies website.
