I knew she was alive, purely because I did my research to go to Amsterdam last year. It didn't happen, but by reading around and researching I was well up on Anne Frank's circle.
I hope to visit next year, and the Frankhuis is definitely on my list of must-do's. I hope by the time I am there, there will be a memorial to Gies. As you say, quite remarkable. Worth celebrating. I know there is a place in Jerusalem for those who are honoured. If it's only after death I am confident that she will have a place.
She lived a good long life and is remembered for her courage and fortitude. And for representing those who did the same and either died, or simply passed unrecognised.
