Miep Gies



Miep Gies. February 15, 1909 - January 11, 2010 born in Vienna, Austria.
She died when she was 100 but when she was younger she helped a family in need during the holocaust. She hid the Frank family for almost two years. Then on August 4th they got busted and sent to concentration camp. After the Frank family was sent off Miep went to look around in the company's office building where she was hiding the Frank's, she found Anne's diary. She had to wait until somebody from the Frank family came back to give them Anne's diary. Otto was the only one who survived. Miep gave Otto Anne's diary and said "Here is your daughter Anne's legacy to you."
I chose Miep Gies because she was brave and risked her own life to help her friends. I chose the saying "Here is your daughter Anne's legacy to you."because if she didn't find that book nobody would know about Anne Frank's life or anything that went on with her family.
