Piper Die Kastanien an der Gracht – Miep Gies und das Tagebuch der Anne Frank

She saved Anne Frank's diary in 1942. When Otto Frank asked his secretary Miep Gies for help, she didn't hesitate for a second: she would assist the family in going into hiding. A time of uncertainty filled with constant fear began, and for Miep, her anxious heartbeat became a daily companion. While the Frank family hid in the Amsterdam annex, Miep secretly procured food and kept the family company over the next two years. Above all, the inquisitive Anne constantly bombarded her helper with questions and documented her experiences in her diary. However, war and surveillance made it increasingly difficult to maintain the fragile appearance of normalcy. This was especially true in light of the question that troubled Miep: how long could she continue to protect the people who trusted her? On August 4, 2024, it will be exactly 80 years since the Frank family was discovered in the annex. For viewers of the Disney+ series "A Spark of Hope.".
