Anne Frank Remembered

The Story of the Woman Who Helped to Hide the Frank Family

Edición de la obra Anne Frank remembered

Since its initial publication forty years ago The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank has become a modern classic. Now, for the first time, we learn another side of the Anne Frank story in this moving book, the autobiography of Miep Gies, the woman who helped to hide the Frank family. Miep's relationship with the Franks began when she came to work for Anne's father in 1933, shortly after he emigrated from Germany to Amsterdam to escape the Nazis. Following the wartime German occupation of the Netherlands and the increasingly harsh measures the Nazis imposed on Dutch Jews, the Frank family decided to go into hiding in 1942. Along with her husband, Jan, Miep became one of the Franks' key links to the outside world, supplying food, news, and emotional support -- at great personal risk -- for more than two years. - Jacket flap.
