Miep Gies

Miep Gies was a Dutch woman known for helping to hide and support the Jewish family of Otto Frank during World War II. She worked as a secretary and voluntarily risked her safety to provide food, news, and assistance to Anne Frank, her family, and others in the secret annex where they hid from the Nazis. Gies’s bravery and kindness played a crucial role in preserving the lives of those in hiding. After the war, she carefully preserved Anne Frank’s diary, which became a symbol of hope and the human spirit’s resilience amidst horror.
