us. He has a colleague, Miep Gies, who may be able aide in our escape. “Yes, ok…. But what about our children's education?” Edith asks worriedly. “Education!? Education doesn’t matter now. Their lives matter. Do you even know what they do to our kind at the camps? If necessary, we can take books and teach them there.” ~~~~~~~~~~~ Six days later, Miep, Mr. Kraler, and Otto meet at the local restaurant.

two years; and got the food they needed because members from Otto Frank’s business risked their lives to keep the families in the hiding alive. On the website it said, “Otto Frank’s friends and colleagues, Johannes Kleiman, Victor Kugler, Jan Gies, and Miep Gies, had previously helped to prepare the hiding place an smuggled food and clothing to the Franks at great risk to their own lives” (Anne Frank, 2/3/16).

Anne becomes world famous because of the diary she wrote while in hiding. Miep Gies is a Dutch woman who assists the annex residents with food, clothing, books, and companionship. She cheerfully assists them with the things they need and pitches in to give them holidays. Along with Elli, she retrieves and saves Anne's diary from the floor after the annex residents are arrested (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miep_Gies).

Otto Frank returns to a secret hiding place in which he and his family have lived during the first part of the Holocaust in Amsterdam. His friend, Miep Gies, has saved a diary that his daughter Anne kept during that time.

This is one reason why Anne would have thought that people were really good at heart. One prime example is Miep Gies. She helped the Franks even though she was not faithful in the Jewish religion. Meip replenished everyone in the group by bringing them what they needed. She had a well thought out tactic that helped her be able to bring supplies to the secret annex

Annex which was at the top of Otto’s company building. They were accompanied in hiding by another Jewish family; Mr. van Daan as well as his wife, Mrs.van Daan, and their son, Peter.

She had to buy certain items they needed from the black market, which was a big risk. In Act 1, Scene 2, Mr. Kraler says, “ Miep or I, or both of us, will be up each day to bring you food and news and find out what your needs are.” This assurance showed how devoted Miep and Mr. Kraler were to keep the Franks comfortable in
