Miep Gies: Protector of Anne Frank Dies at 100 (19:00 Lecture Excerpt)
From: Paul Ingles
Length: 00:19:01
In the mid 1990's, a special series of lectures was presented in Albuquerque, New Mexico, devoted to the memory of Anne Frank, the Jewish teenager whose diary told the dramatic tale of her family's two years in hiding from the Germans in World War II. The Franks were ultimately discovered and Anne died in a concentration camp before the end of the war. Perhaps the most compelling lecture in that lecture series was delivered by Miep Gies, the Austrian woman whose family protected the Franks and who found Anne's diary scattered on the floor of their attic hiding place after their family had been arrested.
Miep Gies died at the age of 100 on January 11, 2010.
This program is an excerpt from the Miep Gies lecture, recorded by radio station KUNM and presented in a program called The Best of KUNM, hosted by Paul Ingles, who provides a suitable intro and outro.
