Risking her life every single day—and almost getting caught several times—Miep brought food, emotional support, and news of the war to Anne’s family in their hiding space. The next morning, Gies escorted Margot there, relying on heavy rain to mask their movements from the authorities.

So all of that, we feel huge responsibility to honor these people, to tell their stories well, to do right by them. I don’t know exactly how they’re going to do it in this series, but when Otto Frank asked Miep to help . In Vienna, there were old buildings, not in good condition, built around central courtyards and broken up into many apartments filled with working people. Across the way was a little grassy playground, and on the other side of the playground was a Roman Catholic church whose ringing bells punctuated the day and sent birds flying against the sky: sparrows; pigeons, which were kept on the roofs; gulls.

The series’ creators, husband-and-wife duo Tony Phelan and Joan Rater, started working on the project six years ago after a visit to the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam.

Thank you Miep for your courage and may God forever bless all those who made the ultimate sacrifice to hide the Jews during WWII. My Stay in Holland was to have been for three months, but I was still weak by that time and the doctors extended it another three months, and then another.If I had, I would have had to burn it, because it was too dangerous for the people Anne wrote about. In 1933, Gies began working for Otto Frank, a Jewish businessman who had moved with his family from Germany to the Netherlands in the hope of sparing his family from Nazi persecution. From her own remarkable childhood as a World War I refugee to the moment she places a small, red-orange, checkered diary—Anne’​s legacy—in Otto Frank’s hands, Miep Gies remembers her days with simple honesty and shattering clarity.

The months that followed the arrest brought fuel and food shortages, resulting in a famine known as the Hunger Winter. Describes a book or dust jacket that does show some signs of wear on either the binding, dust jacket or pages. Seeing my panic, they pushed a wooden chair out onto the ice and instructed me to push the chair ahead of me. Every August 4, the anniversary of the Secret Annex residents’ arrest, the Gieses “remained at their Amsterdam home, [where] they withdrew from the world and reflected on the lost,” Goldstein added. Miep lived to be 100, dying the month before her 101st birthday in 2010, and in that century exhibited stoic heroism rivaled by few — but modestly downplayed by Miep and her husband, Jan.

I think this is a very important read and if you’ve read Anne Frank’s diary then you will definitely find this of interest. Many people know the story of what happened inside the annex from Anne’s diary, but what was happening outside, Miep and Jan were hiding other people in and around Amsterdam,” co-creator Joan Rater tells The Independent. Her quiet confidence in recognizing that evil can never survive, for it is self-destructive, made her certain that the allies would win the war and the Nazis would be no more.

In the decades after Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl was published, Miep and Jan Gies chose to remain out of the spotlight until the publication of Anne Frank Remembered, when they became celebrities in the Netherlands and around the world.Foxed Foxing is the age related browning, or brown-yellowish spots, that can occur to book paper over time. Suddenly, these adults came at us in a swarm and began to fumble with our cards, reading off the names. All three of us firmly believe that the inspiration in this story — and Miep made a lot of this herself — is that she is so ordinary, and that anyone can do this. He brought books from the library, he visited the hiding place every day and went up and kept them company because they were lonely.
