Bergen-Belsen concentration camp just after liberation, 1945 STORYLINE: Miep Gies, the office secretary who defied the Nazi occupation regime to hide Anne Frank and her family in a concealed apartment for two years and who rescued the papers of Anne''s diary, has died. She was 100. The Anne Frank House museum''s spokeswoman, Annemarie Bekker, said Gies died from a neck injury she suffered in a fall at her home shortly before Christmas. Gies was the last of the few non-Jews who supplied food, books and good cheer to the secret annex behind the canal warehouse in Amsterdam where Anne, her parents, sister and four other Jews hid for 25 months during World War II. After the apartment was raided by the German police, Gies gathered up Anne''s scattered notebooks and papers and locked them in a drawer for her return after the war. The diary chronicles Frank''s life in hiding between 1942 and 1944. Gies refused to read the papers, saying even a teenager''s privacy was sacred. Later, she said if she had read them she would have had to burn them because they incriminated the "helpers." Anne Frank died of typhus at age 15 in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in March 1945, just two weeks before the camp was liberated. Gies gave the diary to Anne''s father Otto, the only survivor, who published it in 1947. After the diary was published, Gies tirelessly promoted causes of tolerance. She brushed aside the accolades for helping hide the Frank family as more than she deserved - as if, she said, she had tried to save all the Jews of occupied Holland. "The past is never over. The past goes always with you. And the good thing of the past, how terrible it was, is that you can learn from the past," she told the Associated Press in 1995. "The Diary of Anne Frank" was the first popular book about the Holocaust, and has been read by millions of children and adults around the world in 70 languages. For her courage, Gies was bestowed with the "Righteous Gentile" title by the Israeli Holocaust museum Yad Vashem. She has also been honoured by the German Government, Dutch monarchy and educational institutions. Nevertheless, Gies resisted being made a character study of heroism for the young. "I don''t want to be considered a hero," she said in a 1997 online chat with schoolchildren. "It seems as if we are never far from Miep''s thoughts," Anne wrote.
