A few days ago i saw somthing in school. Somthing that shocked me completly. Meip Geis had passed away. The paper was hung on the bulleten board in the hallway. I almost felt like crying. Meip Geis was one of the few people who helped hide Anne Frank. We had just done a play on the diary and it is about a month afterwords and i have grown to love the characters. Meip was a kind woman who risked her own life by hiding jews. She was a hero.
This summer you probably remember the shocking death of michael jackson. of course since he was a famouse singer it was all over the news and everychanel was sure to have a tribute to him.
this is what happens when you are a celebrity. but do you know what happens to a hero like Meip Geis? a newspaper article and the spot on the news. she was a hero! we need to recognize this we have to honor her and other heros not just pop stars.
while she was alive she got alot of respect. let us continue giving her the respect she deserves.
