Bare your head and raise your glass, gentlefolk. Miep Gies has died, at the age of 100.

May her memory be for a blessing, and her legacy a light to us all.

To one of the true heroes of the world.

Glass raised. Her memory will indeed be a blessing. I've been to the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam. And to Yad Vashem. Even if she didn't consider herself a hero, what is a hero but someone who does the right thing when the alternative is so much safer.

Wow. Like my wife commented to me just as I was reading this, I had no idea she was still alive. A very brave woman, and she will be missed.

She was a real hero.
