Miep Gies decides to help | Anne Frank House

Miep Gies, the last surviving and best-known helper of Anne Frank and the others in hiding, died at the age of 100 in Hoorn on 11 January 2010. Right until the end, Miep remained deeply involved with the remembrance of Anne Frank and with spreading her story.

Every day, Miep received letters from all over the world with questions about her relationship with Anne Frank and her role as a helper. 'I'm not a hero', she once said, 'It wasn't something I planned in advance, I simply did what I could to help.' In this video Miep Gies tells how Otto Frank asked her to help him and his family during hiding.

About the Anne Frank House
The Anne Frank House was established on 3 May 1957 in cooperation with Otto Frank, Anne Frank’s father. We are an independent non-profit organisation that runs a museum in the house where Anne Frank went into hiding and we try to increase awareness of Anne’s life story all over the world, encouraging people to reflect on the dangers of antisemitism, racism, and discrimination, and the importance of freedom, equal rights, and democracy.
