Man. These people are true heroes. The world needs more people like them. In my eyes, they are much more worthy than any celebrity of today.

don't forget that Miep and Jan also had a Jewish boy hiding in their home. All of the helpers were extraordinarily brave for what they did. There are still good people out there when all hope is lost. Thank you to all the helpers all over the world then and now.

Miep Geis lived to be almost 101 years old.

No one except myself will probably find this interesting but Mrs Van Pels gave Miep an antique onyx and diamond ring during their time in hiding. Miep promised to wear it always "in friendship". She's still wearing it in this video. I love that!

I wrote to miep not long before she passed and had a long reply..telling me about Anne. Such a lovely person

RIP MEIP GIES

Miep was straight up Gangsta ! Bless her. RIP.

Miep was fantastic may she rest in peace forever and be remembered always

"Where 7 people can eat, 8 can eat too..." still acting out of love - during such horrid conditions. We can all learn something from these people.

These are the type of people that need to be running the government. Good people

God bless Miep and the rest of the helpers. True hero’s

Who would check "Not Like" on this video???? Seriously I wonder about the souls of some people. How could ANYONE not like and totally admire the heroic actions of this woman?? SHAME on whoever chose to check that.

"This is the legacy of your daughter." After hearing his daughters perished... so sad and touching. This documentary gave me all the feels. God bless them all.

Very touching, and well made. Miep is an admirable woman.

Fantastic example of real friends being there when you really need them. Inspirational.

Wow, I thought I knew everything about Miep's story but I didn't know the part about her standing up to the Nazi goon about Jan. "You keep your hands off my husband! He has nothing to do with this!" She probably figured she'd be arrested & deported with the rest of them so what was there to lose... My guess, anyway. Incredible lady, & I'm glad she lived a long life.

Miep you were an amazing woman. Thank you for all you did during one of history’s darkest chapters. May they all Rest In Peace.

The book written by Miep gies and Alison Leslie gold is really good called Anne Frank remembered. Written in 1987

Anne is one of my most adorable historical character

Remarkable woman...in the most dire situation. A true heroine: brazenly courageous, unwavering in her loyalty.

Amazing. So glad that we managed to have an account of Miep’s recollection for posterity. What a good person she was. I don’t know how she found such courage.

What a treat this was stumbling upon this video. Her detailed description captured the words and expression of those in hiding so well that I could see and feel it all in my minds eye. This woman was a FEARLESS HERO! Her BRAVERY to do what was right during the worst time in history.

Welp. I just finished staying up half the night crying at meips book. Might as well spend the morning watching the documentary. I don’t know what’s with my sudden fascination this year Holocaust stories make my heart ache but I can’t stop seeking them out.

So sad and fascinating. Never heard this account from Miep before. So wonderful they left Anne's pictures on the walls.

So very heartbreaking and heartfelt. She, along with Bep, Kraler, und Koophius are true heroes from a different time. This story has captivated me for years, and Miep's honest testimony just intensifies the captivation.

This little group of heroes who risked everything for Friendship and decency were named among the Righteous Among The Nations after the War by the Jewish people. Like Schindler they proved themselves worthy of the honour. For some reason, it warmed me to hear that the butcher and his Wife also were protecting people...that happened a lot more than is generally spoken of. War brings out the best and the worst on all sides of the conflict...some become hardened, selfish, and cruel while others find the generosity of spirit to truly empathize and do all that they can to help.🖤🇨🇦

Anne lost all will to live, thinking that no family member was left. Maybe if she had known that her father was alive she might well have lived.

I am sure GOD has Anne and her Family in a good place Amen and Amen

I only finished reading the book yesterday and have been looking up content online related to Anne Frank. Hearing the testimony of people who knew Anne personally, in this case, her very helper, is very special indeed. Anne's story is heart-rending and it deserves to be heard the world over if we're to guard against the evil of Nazism and Fascism from emerging again. Miep is a true hero. She deserves every praise for disobeying the German's orders for turning in the Jews at the risk of her own life. But she went even further. She helped those Jews in hiding with provisions, personal gifts and hope of escape one day. It's fair to say without Meip, Kugler, Bep, and Klieman we wouldn't have Anne's Diary or learn about her and other's struggles to hang on to dear life till the end. Her account of Anne & others' arrest is chilling. Thanks for sharing this video.

The lady resembles Queen Elizabeth

beautiful documentary; very touching! moved me! thanks for posting :)

RIP Anne Frank!!!! Soooooooo Sad

Absolute hero. What a lovely, amazing lady ♥️♥️

Miep Gies is a true heroine. Her courage and kindness and empathy and deserves to be acknowledged.

I live in the Netherlands it's a real honor that I can understand and talk that language

Thank you for posting this video.

What a truly heroic group of people they were. The risks they took, out of friendship and love, incredible. RIP

Utmost example of heroism and loyalty. I am not sure how many of us will be ready to put ourselves in danger to help our friends. I wish this story had a happy ending where Anne could walk freely without any fear, go to Paris and do everything she wished to after the war.

Such a legend woman! Rip 🙏

I read the diary 4 or 5 times as a kid. Just now got to see this video. My God !! I can't even find the words to express my thoughts!

Deeply moving. Many thanks to all who helped jews and others during this horrible time. Dear Miep you helped more than you know

I visited the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, Holland, and it was very interesting and moving. I also visited the Anne Frank Museum in the Mitte District of Berlin, Germany, and I highly recommend it. Many of the Frank's friends and relatives lived in the area, so it's in a very historical location.

Miep Gies had zo een fijne rustige en duidelijke manier van praten.

God bless Miep and all the helpers who tried so hard for so long to protect the Anne Frank family and all their friends. What a monumental job it would have been risking their very lives in order to be decent human beings too other decent human beings that just happened to be Jewish to Hitler's and his monster henchmen's disdain. Many people hid Jewish people and for all those people you are all truly heroes in my book. Bless you all for your courage, bravery and sheer determination to not allow Hitler's madness to reach all people's with his cruelty and unspeakable murderous plans. Never, Never, Ever Again! We Hear Your Voices! May all the were murdered cruelly rest in eternal peace and those monsters that reeked havoc on the world's most vulnerable people's burn in hell for all eternity. Jesus forgives sinners, however, this is a sin so massive and unthinkable a scale that it is truly unforgivable.

Otto Frank moved his family to Amsterdam, never figuring the German reach would extend that far.

The apartment in 37 Merwedeplein seems to have been restored to 1930s period.

She has said that she is not a hero, not special. She just did what any decent person would do. I think most of us would beg to differ. She absolutely was a hero. Every person that was a beacon of hope for the jewish people (or the Roma or any other group that was targeted by those subhumans) who had none during that horror was a hero. She went above and beyond. What she did was not merely "decent." It was extraordinary.

What a brave and selfless woman . Such an inspiring story!

A moving story, God rest them all.

Miep Gies was truly a wonderful woman. God rest her soul and of all the others who didn't make it.

I have huge respect and admiration for Meip Gies and all the other helpers who went out of their ways, at times put their own lives in danger only to help hide successfully, the 8 occupants at the annexe for over two years!! Hats off to all of them !! RIP.

I am so glad they put this video out I always wondered why miep didn't get shot smart woman the story still makes me sad!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Wow, this was wonderful. I feel like I've been in a trance, hanging on her every word, much like the Franks & company did upon her daily visits. What a beautiful, kind and brave woman

Very nice documentary!! Thanks for posting it.

Such courage, when most people just stood by. Miep Gies should always be remembered.

What a price Miep and the rest of the helpers paid…. Having such painful memories and after the war, having to revisit them time and again to let people know what happened.

God Bless these Heroic People, i didn,t know mieps full story,such a brave woman,& standing up to that Nazi,RIP All the Frank Family, & Miep too, I have Ann Franks Diary & photos of her & her family before they went into hiding, they should never had been Found, if someone hadn,t betrayed them, Ann & her Sister & mother shouldn,t have been sent to the Death camp, So Wrong & So Sad what happened, God Bless Otto for publishing His Daughter Anne,s Diary.

There is a wonderful video about this wonderful woman called "Anne Frank Remembered". She was a person completely without guile. A rarity. She tells her story plainly, unembelished. A fine woman.

This women and her helpers were Angels and Heroes,like no one before them,ever!.G-d bless them for what they tried to do🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

What love, & courage to you Dearest Meip, Jan & your young child. Of course this goes to the other few brave people who opened up their homes or attics to other Dearest Jewish people that had to go into hiding. Amen.

Thank you so much for posting this video! What a brave, and lovely woman, along with so many others who strived succeeded, unfortunately, not all of them; to protect the innocent Jewish families/communities! I honor and admire all of those heroes, I truly do...

Thank you for this upload ☺️

I saw this years ago but was glad when it popped up on KZfaq today. I watched every second of it. It is amazing to see and hear Miep talking about everything that happened and being shown in the places where it all happened. I was lucky years ago to go first thing in the morning to the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam. I understand the lines are long now, but that day my husband and I had the place to ourselves for the first few minutes, so I could quietly walk around and stand in those rooms I had read about so often since I got my copy of the diary at about age 12. Miep's book -- I assume this documentary was done around the same time? -- is very good. Well done.

I have been to the Annex that Hiding Place for all the Frank Family ,when I was Around 7 with my family on a trip , I saw it what it would like Like back then , Through the years my family been back , Now it is a Museum Now , And You Can Not Go Up to the Annex The Hiding Place , But I did with my Sister and Dad , My Mom and Brother Matt stay and waiting for Us , I read the Diary of Anne Frank and Other Books the Meip Wrote , The Family That Hind The Frank Family are True Hero's RIP PEACE TO ALL Love Julie Hastings

🙏⚘❤Thank you for this VDO. The world thanks you Miep for your act of true love and bravery to the fellow human beings. 🙏💐May you and the others involved rest in eternal peace and in God's love.

Such courage , such grace - the finest of human beings 🙏

Thank you for sharing this with us. ❤🙏💯🐈‍⬛👰‍♀️

wow thank you for posting this. incredible that she did this and we have it memorialized.

so sad I could not even watch to the end depressive material no doubt about it

It’s November 2020. And we think it’s been a tough year. I don’t think I could say anything more beautiful than some of the comments are. They stand alone. Heartbreaking , sad - and for what? One mans hatred. 1 man and look at the horror he created. We must be aware. We must learn from history , we must! Otherwise they’ve perished for nothing. What a beautiful, brave person this lady Miep was , and her husband and others who risked their lives For someone who wasn’t going to say anything, I seem to have. Years have passed even since 2014 and still the words are being read. That’s something to be hopeful for? Do you think so? We’re still reading their words - with tears 😭 and with hope . G-B bless all of them, and let’s hope and pray. From Australia 🇦🇺👏👏👏🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 . Thank you 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

To Quote Casper ten Boom ( Corrie's father ) I pity the poor Germans. They have touched the Apple of God's Eye. Very powerful words.

Miep wrote her story and it was published in 1987, I still have my copy, excellent reading! She was originally from Vienna and came to the Netherlands as a child after the Great War and remained there. She died in 2010 one month short of her 101st birthday.

Miep was so brave ❤❤❤❤❤,as were all the helpers.

I felt Anne Frank is one of the survivor in second world war but today I watched the movie. I am feeling very bad and at the time of watching I only want they will reconnect again but it's gone in tragedy way.. How brutally tortured jueds in that war is unpredictable and the only way is I have to experience.

God bless them all. May they rest in peace. I read Anne’s diary but hearing Miep relate her experience took my memory to a new level of understanding.

Great video.

I have no doubt that these people are standing in the presence of God.

i love it

I toured the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, and it was very interesting. I also went to the Anne Frank Museum in the Mitte District of Berlin, which is also very informative, because many of the Frank's friends and relatives lived nearby. So I highly recommend visiting Berlin, Germany.

Thank you. x

Thank you meip

Beautiful and such bravery of all that helped!! So detailed...sad this happened though...only God knows !! Rip to all that perished!

Hay Heather ! I Went Through The Annex On A Family Trip Back In The Mid 60's My Brother Matt Who Is Now 50 Years Old Was About 2 Years Old I Was About 6 , We Did To Europe Trip To A Couple Country's And Boat Trip Down The Rhine River , And Stop In Amsterdam And Saw The Annex When It Looked Like Way Back When , Now I Know It A Museum , WE Did Go Up To The Annex , The Hiding Place ! I Hear You Can Not Go Up Any More , But You Can Think About And See Who The Live For Almost 2 Years And You Wonder What If The Where Not Found ? I Think Always !!! Anne And How Old She Would Be And What She Be Doing Today , Her Dad Died In Around 1972 He Was in Is 90's , What A Dreamer She Was And Loved To See How Close She Was To Her Dad And Family , Like Me , I Would Love To Do That Trip Again Some Day !!! Heather Have A Nice Day Julie

Thank you Anna 🌹🌹♥️

Meip your a legend xxx

Yes, lessons for all, young and old.👏

I do wonder when this was taken and how old was meip? Meip and all the other helpers should be remembered for their help and risk of their own lives to help others!

What a good woman!!!

This was a very moving documentary in so many ways. I always knew who Anne Frank was and that her diary was written while in hiding but I had thought she was hiding alone and they just found her. I always avoided studying the Holocaust because I knew how awful it was and now have only learned of Anne Frank's story through these videos, I am wondering if they ever found out who told the Germans about where they were hiding and how did they know to go to the bookcase? And I am assuming Charlotte the dentists wife was not Jewish or else she would be in hiding too. Could she have revealed the information to someone she thought she trusted who then perhaps told the Germans? What happened to her and didn't the Nazis know she was married to a Jewish man since they all had to register as a Jew. I am just curious. They had provisions to stay alive and had made it through 2 years so only a little bit longer and they all would have made it. The two couples, The dentist (unsure how to spell his name) and his wife Charlotte and the children Anne, Margo and Peter who would have been able to pursue a career, fallen in love, found a spouse and had many children. Generations of people never to be because of that anonymous phone call.

I wonder how many time Miep and Otto go into the secret house after Anne,s death

This is such a treasure.

I miss Anne Frank so much I wish she was alive today. I would like to talk to her in person if she was alive now that she dead I can't talk to her anymore, I feel so bad for them

Evil is like a cancer it spreads

A true angel.

Great

May they all Rest in Peace

I wonder why Miep was not sent to a camp for sheilding the Jews. This was why Corrie Ten Boom went to Ravensbruk. Miep was very blessed to have been let off.

Only recently did I look at 2 films about Anne

Mr.Frank should've have cut out parts of the Diary. There was a section that was deemed "sexual" and Otto removed it. The only editing that should be done is to fix grammar issues and spell checks. It is not in Otto's power to removed what belongs to Anne, even if he is her father.
