A woman who risked her life to try to save others. Moreover, it is modest. She would be processed into heroin: "We were not the only ones to do the same thing" she pronounced! This is a very simple woman, honest, sincere, loyal, brave ... Not neglect the other collaborators: M. Kugler, Kleiman and Bep Jan Gies.
It is part of the righteous who tried to save lives. We will never forget. Moreover, we will never know who was the real informer. A holy woman. Tribute to Miep.
Yeah, it was also used to make people think they were in switzerland and to lower suspicion. I've seen the original rent pay papers in the museum with otto's signature, also I saw their apartment last month when I went to Amsterdam, check out my Merwedeplein video, thats where it is :)
Its sooooo weird hearing this woman talk about people I've read about (some 20+ years ago when I first read Anne Frank's Diary) as though they were still alive....and to her they WERE alive. THIS is what is soooo weird! It's kind of like a living ghost were conducting the interview / documentary. Soooo weird!!!!
@gordieK yes she was incredibly lucky. and great of her to save annes diary not really knowing if anne or anyone of the family would ever return. another stroke of luck was otto living through the nightmare. RIP otto. thank you miep and RIP.
Ann was always getting in trouble for not acting appropriately - She said exactly whatever came into her mind or said what she thought - Apparently, only to Ann did Miep Gies tell what was actually happening in the outside world, for Ann was the only one strong enough to hear - Ann was completely committed/obsessed with writing - Ann questioned, while everyone else accepted - and other things - I don't know, just an observation - Asperger's isn't always a bad thing.
yes an amzingly brave couple! amazingly lucky she was still alive to tell this story. how did they escape horrible consequences when the franks were discovered?
U know us kids- better yet, human beings think that ppl loke hitler is just a one time thing," so what that was in 19- whatever, who cares.", guess again! The are 7. Something billion ppl in this world, i think, but he point is with tht many ppl there will always be someone like him, we may be an "advanced generation", wich I agree with, but tht only makes it tht much worse. I am a kid, so maybe im a little off, but this seems like the truth to me.
Miep Gies, you are loved! I'm so happy that they renamed a park in Amsterdam after you this year. You truly deserve it!
I Wish Anne And The Family Were Saved
Can you imagine what excitement there would be if Margot's diary turned up?
I was just thinking that. Wonder if she took it with her? I’m sure they searched everything in the house.
Her diary probably provides a clue on who betrayed them.
Miep is such a great person, she is a true hero.
Thank you for posting this videos.
RIP Miep
Selfless, amazingly brave.
what a beautiful person she is i love her and she is resting in peace. LONG LIVE ANNE FRANK!!!! I love you
Otto Frank continued to pay rent on the apartment they first moved to in Amsterdam for a year with the hope of the family returning after the war.
A brave woman
God bless you, Mieb Gies.
miep is 100 tomorrow
and she is still alive and well :)
it would have been margot frank's birthday today
R.I.P

Ana pasó tantas veces ese puente y escucho esas campanas
Dentists and kids really don't get along
I wonder where the orginal diary is?
i heard it was somebody called tonny ahlers
@lol2k20 she's dead now :( I guess 100 years is a fair age for someone who did something so grand

She did not have Asperger’s
yes an amzingly brave couple! amazingly lucky she was still alive to tell this story. how did they escape horrible consequences when the franks were discovered?
Doesn't she live just outside of Amsterdam?
@lol2k20 i would luv 2 go c it!
well ahlers son seems to think it was him, so much so he said he could never visit the anne frank house cos hed be ashamed
Nobody really knows, but yes Ahlers was a suspect
WHAT?
@gordieK and bep/elli had escaped
