    Miep Gies is an inspiring hero who deserves the best. She protected Anne and her family and then saved the diary.

    She is the reason the franks and van pels survived. She brought them food, and news about the world when they were in hiding for 25 months. And she risked her life everyday going and helping them, any ole' day the Gestapo could've come in and killed her or arrested her for even knowing where they were hiding let alone helping them survive. One of my role models this woman is. A true hero.

      How many families dis she hide ? I thought it was 1 family of 4, 1 family of 3, 1 man, and a cat all living in the Annex. When the Gistapo found them, they were all shipped off to Labour camp and only 1 man survived out of the 8 people. Anne Frank died 7 months later in the camp onky 3 weeks before the liberation. Fun fact, Meip brought them a radio in a book.

    Miep deserves better. She risked her life every day for 2 years, to help hide the Frank family, and buy them food and supplies even when it became hard. If she hadn’t saved the diary, we wouldn’t know her, or her story. We all owe Anne’s fame to her, and who knows what else she would’ve written? Anne didn’t deserve the fate she got, she deserved to grow up and fufill her dreams. Thank you to Miep for your risks and preserving the diary and thank you to Otto Frank for getting the diary published. May they all rest in peace.

    I just got through watching a small light on Hulu. It’s amazing what she went through and the fact that I had never heard of Miep before is a shame and shows that we need our history to teach us more women that truly changed the fate of many people. Her husband Jan, he did so much as well. Acting against the nazis in a way that was possibly more dangerous than what Miep was doing. They were both so courageous and they deserve so much more credit than what they get. And we not only remember Anne, but also Margot, and Mrs.Frink and everyone else who was killed in those camps.

She is a wonderful and strong woman and I hope she is resting in peace with the others. And I hope that even Hitler has served his time to get rid of his sins so he could go to heaven because Anne knew that everyone has good in them deep down inside their souls, even if they have done the worst things.

I have known about Anna since I was old enough to understand and I cried so much. I started writing about my life when I was 11. I had a lot of challages in my life (I am only 20) but I am handicapped and alot of people would come up to me and ask what happened to me (I have a paralyzed arm and leg). Nor Anne and I went through the same challeges we both know how it feels to be a outcast.

    Reading the diary, it makes me sad. You have to realize that this girl had her whole life planned. She had dreams of seeing the world, being a journalist. The Nazis took her life, and I don't mean only killed her, I mean it deeper. She could have lived to tell the tale and to see the world for the beauty it is. Her life ended seeing the shadow of human nature, the worst way.

    Makes me wonder how many other teens or kids in hiding that were in hiding during that era and survived, with stories similar

    I love how the title of the video says interview with Miep, yet they put the pretty lady in the thumbnail 🤷🏻‍♀️ a bit disrespectful, dont you think?

    I was always glad and amazed that she was not arrested or deported. So many who helped the Jews met bad ends.

      During the Second World War, my Great-Grandparents in France 🇫🇷 sheltered a young Jewish girl successfully hiding from their village and some German Soldiers who lodged in my Great-Grandparents’ home that she was Jewish.

    I did a report on Miep Gies in high school when she passed away.

    Mary is a doll. You can tell that she really took her portrayal seriously... not just the acting, but her spirit.

      No, really? I thought the description that says the exact thing was just lying!

    Miep Gies is beautiful both in and out. She risks her life just to protect the innocent Jewish people by providing them with daily supplies.

    What a shame they cut her off... The actress got more attention than Miep.
