It is truly amazing what she did I am so glad she helped hide Anne and her family, the Van Pels, and Mr. Pfeffer, otherwise Anne's story would never have been told. God Bless her Thank you Miep, you are truly a wonderful person and it is extraordinary you lived this long to tell your story ♥😊😌
Most people don't think about or realize how lucky we are to actually live in this time. What I mean is we lost this amazing woman.... Human being. Twelve years ago but here she is immortalized in this and countless other interviews to share her and Anne's story.
This makes me want to cry. What a beautiful lady. You know, she is right. This should be the way all humans should be. We need to somehow get people to understand that an average person can do something big and powerful and in turn when we do the right thing, we shouldn't expect to be rewarded for it. Knowing we did good is it's own reward. I teach preschoolers and often times I have children telling me that they want to put a "Kindness Heart on our Kindness Tree." We have the tree up for kids that really go above and beyond to help out another child or a teacher. However, even though this is just Preschool, I somehow don't know how to teach that people shouldn't "behave" or "do the right thing" because we want to get a reward for it. I'm really unsure of how to teach that. But, Miep Gies is a living representation.
I understand that the point of this interview was to promote the movie, but I would have liked to actually heard more from Miep about what happened and about how well the movie reflects the story instead of listening to the woman who plays Miep in the movie talk about how excited she is to play a hero... I mean, the hero is RIGHT THERE.
@PercyJackson10 what is so cruel is tht it was in modern time,wasnt that long ago this occured.crazy how ruthless one man can be,and how many will follow.
RIP Meip! You are a heroine and an angle! Jesus and Mother Theresa are probably high-fiving you right about now LOL! Anne and the family are giving you long awaited hugs - - - at least I hope this is all happening :) What an inspiration you are. Anne wrote of you often...you were very, very brave. There were many, many, many brave people during the Holocaust. I salute each and every one of them. To you I specifically wish the high-five's and the hugs :) God Bless You!
@PercyJackson10 the whole anne frank affair happened in the early 1940s. they went into hiding in 1943. ann frank died some time in 1944, i beleive. so, mid 1900s, and this was LON after the 1800s
@jonoli83 Wasnt that long ago???? Dude this was like in late 18 hundreds! Anne Frank died in the early 19 hundredths !!! What you just wrote was common sense I didnt understand what you said and it does not go with wut i said like 5 Months ago! But yeah it is crazy how many people will follow I just wished that some people could of stopped him THANK THE GODS that he killed himself anyway enough of this emotional sadness I dont think about as much as I use to
Miep Gies is the Personification, of how we should all be as Humans!!

I am so glad she helped hide Anne and her family, the Van Pels, and Mr. Pfeffer, otherwise Anne's story would never have been told.
