To me Miep embodies everything that is best about humanity; bravery, compassion and loyalty. The evil Nazis crumbled; they could not overcome people like Miep.
Mrs. Miep Gies had so much integrity. Helping those when she didn't have to but she did what was right even if it put her in harms way. She also respected everyone's privacy. Not reading letters or opening packages she handed back and forth to separated lovers & then holding onto Anne's diary for so long & not ever reading it either until Anne's father Otto invited her to look upon it. What a beautiful woman.
A very wellmade and heart wrenching documentary !! Miep Gies was a real hero !! Hats off to her courage and humane behaviour !! Miep will always remain in our hearts. Rest in eternal peace, with all the peole you loved and served selflessly, dear Miep !!
Dearest Miep. I've thought of you equally as much over all the years since I first read Anne's Diary as a child. It's because of you, the diary was collected, safeguarded and presented to Otto Frank so the world would know these people. Rest in Peace dear Lady. You're with your husband and friends and relatives again. Thank you!
I put off reading Anne Frank's diary for a long time too -- because I thought it would just make me too sad. When I heard about Miep's death, I decided it was finally time. I'm reading it now, and enjoying it very much. God bless you, Miep. Now you can see the Frank family again.
Thank you kindly for posting this documentary. What an amazing woman. I am truly grateful that Anne's diaries were saved so that we could share in her story. It is so important. RIP To them all.
Thank you so much for posting and sharing the world this. This is very important to remember and be grateful for what we have. I thank Miep, all the one who helps, Anne, the who fought for freedom, and many more.
This is one of the most awesome interviews I've ever listened to. Thank you for uploading it. May JESUS CHRIST continue to bless, direct, and guide you along HIS narrowing path enduring all until HE calls us home, one by one, in one way or another. Mrs. Gies, I pray you and all who've traveled the narrow way rest in the LORD and the LORD in you.
I’ll always wonder what gave them away. Did another employee tell? Whatever it was, thank you so much for posting this. We should always remember so we could never repeat. May their memories forever be a blessing. 🌺
@kerinapetshop. If Anne Frank hadn't become famous, if she survived and lived and died a regular person would people still feel the same love for her and her story? She was a remarkable person and its sad how sometimes the words of the unknown are unheeded. Anne represents the fact that every person has a story to tell. Its only remarkable if we have the common sense to truly sit up and listen. Thank you for sharing your soul with us Anne.
I have the diary...I am going to read it too...I too, thought I could not bear it...however, I so can relate to Anne...that need to write...I have that bug too...and I think that I am ready to know her very insightful and entertaining, yet very moving thoughts...yes, I am. Anne, you are an inspiration...
im crying so hard right now..............I wish...I wish anne and everyone was still here........so i could just talk and touch them. with everything they've been through........Anne was so intelligent. WHY DID SHE DIE SO YOUNG??!! she was so innocent. She didnt do anything to the germans................R.I.P everyone love u
There is good and bad in every country, race, gender, sexual orientation, etc. You can never demonize one set of people, because it isn't possible for everyone to be the same.
🙏🙏🙏 namasthy madam ,,,, hi hallo hallo I am indian state Andra Pradesh,,, do you know madam my 8th class social studies leesons one off the anne Frank story ,,, 😭😭today every indian childrens know particular education childrens reading anne Frank leessons our social studies,, 🙏🙏😭😔 I can not understand why hitler hate Jude's ,, recently I am reading the young girl story Anne Frank 📖 book ,, my eyes are😭😭😭my 💔 heartbroken ho my god , hitler killed so many millions Jude's peoples 😭😭 recently I am seeing the Nazis camps vedios 😭😭😭my eyes cannot stop 😭
How very, very, very sad!!!!! "And I....I for sheer joy wouldn't know where to begin...." This poor girl didn't ever get that chance! She never got that release...you and I need to commit acts of FREEDOM and ABANDON for her!!! Within legal reason, we need to satisfy Anne Frank's joy goal(s)...it is something we ALL need to do!!! Just think about Anne...take her along on your ride and THINK about her as you do your fun stuff!
Im reading the Definitive Edition which I would recomend. Version A is how she wrote it at the time & Version B is where she improved bits. The Definitive Edition covers both of these so I'd invest in that 1
received a letter from miep a year or so before she passed on,,, very thoughtful and kind. I wonder would we have ever known of Anne's diary if she had lived..
Anne always wanted to be a writer. She wanted to get famous from writing and being a journalist. When they were in hiding she did make a special version of her diary detailing the life in the secret annex that was meant to be more public so that after they came out she could give it to the news people so the world could know how they survived the war and what living in that place was like. Idk if she would've publicized everything in her diary if she made it but I know she would've definitely made a few books about it and a lot of interviews
@imacceptingbut I agree, and I feel that Anne, in her wisdom, knew they were all in the midst of the darkest, most evil shadow imaginable. Hope may have flickered in and out of her heart. Still, I feel her writing kept her sane in a life of fear and misery. She wrote of the hope still alive in her heart, although it was unlikely they'd make it, what she would have liked and to just somehow be remembered, if only 1 person read Kitty. Yes, we should carry Anne w/ us. RIP, Anne and all that died.
@imacceptingbut You're so right. Anne's hope wasn't just to survive, really. I'm sure there were times when glimmers of it came and went, as when D day came. Still, I truly believe Anne knew she was a girl amongst the most evil, darkest shadow imaginable; something I think she, in her wisdom, knew she couldn't escape. I feel she wanted to be remembered; kept herself sane by writing of day to day life in the annex, expressed the dreams that were all she had left and what would have been.
@TheAlysheba you wrote.... "kept herself sane by writing of day to day life in the annex, expressed the dreams that were all she had left and what would have been." :( How sad....but perhaps she was smart enough a soul to recognize this :( Poor kid!!!
@JurassicParkFan14 Yes. She could have waited until the end. Only 2 weeks after her death the camp was free. :( I guess sometimes destiny plays with us in such a cruel way that we can't even believe.

Miep was an inspiration - such bravery and dignity. Sleep in peace, Miep.
THANK YOU, Miep!!
THANKS to all the helpers!!
This was brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing. We need many more Miep Gies' in this world. May her memory be eternal.
This is only one story out of millions. I don't think I will ever be able to grasp the scale of the second world war, and I don't think I'd want to.
A very wellmade and heart wrenching documentary !!
Miep Gies was a real hero !! Hats off to her courage and humane behaviour !!
Miep will always remain in our hearts.
Rest in eternal peace, with all the peole you loved and served selflessly, dear Miep !!
God Bless Miep Gies and Anne Frank
This made me cry. So beautiful.
Dearest Miep. I've thought of you equally as much over all the years since I first read Anne's Diary as a child.

Thanks so much for posting this wonderful documentary - I have never seen this before!
RIP Miep Gies, your life is an example to us all.

R.I.P Miep Gies, You are a hero in my eye's.

Anne went on living after her death as she wished and became a famous writer like she wanted through her diary which stands the test of time.
who has weapons can easily play the hero but Miep Gies is a hero because she acted out humanity.
gratulation the 100th birthday ...

ugh the end kills me where miep is staring out the window she looks so sad ):

@tmwalkerm LOL yes I know, I was commenting using my phone, if a word doesnt look right it corrects it to something simular its annoying
@TheAlysheba you wrote.... "kept herself sane by writing of day to day life in the annex, expressed the dreams that were all she had left and what would have been."
:( How sad....but perhaps she was smart enough a soul to recognize this :(
Poor kid!!!
Part 5 is missing.
no
This is the special from 1998, right?
1995
@JurassicParkFan14 Yes. She could have waited until the end. Only 2 weeks after her death the camp was free. :(
I guess sometimes destiny plays with us in such a cruel way that we can't even believe.
Not all germans are bad.
We know. It's just so sad it happened at all.
