A true humanitarian, and an exemplar of how to live one's life. I had the honor and privilege of meeting her briefly once. (When our family lived in Holland, my mother befriended members of her family.) She exuded kindness, warmth and decency -- I don't know how else to put it.
I stand at the end of the long, long line of good Dutch people who did what I did or more – much more - during those dark and terrible times years ago, but always like yesterday in the hearts of those of us who bear witness. Never a day goes by that I do not think of what happened then.

Tot ziens, Miep. Rust in vrede.

It is a pretty poem, Mr. Pope, but you must not call it Homer. -- Richard Bentley
