Writing Prompt #7 - due February 22

If you could meet anyone - past or present - who would it be and why?

It's tough to narrow it down to one person.  There are parts of history that intrigue me and I would like to meet and talk with someone who lived that history.  There are so many authors I would love to meet and talk to.  There are also several celebrities I would like to meet.  However, if I had to choose, I would love to meet Miep Gies.  She's the woman who helped hide Anne Frank and her family in the Annex during the Holocaust.  She's also the woman who helped make sure Anne's Diary was saved so it could be published later.  Without that diary, we may not know as much as we do about what some Jewish people went through in the Holocaust.  

It may seem morbid to be fascinated by the Holocaust, but I'm interested in it because it amazes me that something like that could happen.  Plus, if we don't learn from history, we're doomed to repeat it at some point and nothing like that needs to happen again.

**Now, for your assignment, make sure you copy and paste the prompt to the top of your post (NOT the title - put Writing Prompt #7 as your title).  Your entry should be at LEAST 100 words (not counting the prompt).  It needs to be posted by 11:59 pm FRIDAY.
