Anne Frank Remembered: The Story of the Woman Who Helped to Hide the Frank Family by Alison Leslie Gold, Miep Gies

This amazing audio was perhaps more powerful to me as an adult than Anne’s own diary. The perspective of a Dutch person and community helping to hide people they cared for was a heartbreaking education.

The story written by and about Miep Gies gives another layer to the humanity of the persecuted during the Nazi regime. So much bravery and kindness in the midst of so much horror.  Hearing the story from one who lived it is powerful.

This book had me in floods of tears. Miep's modesty is really touching. At one point I asked myself if I had been in Miep's situation would I have done the same without hesitation as she did? I just don't know but I sincerely hope so.
On the other side of the coin I am actually Jewish, so in reality it would have been the other way around, and I would have been hoping and praying for my own Miep Gies.
The most touching memorial to Anne Frank I've read as yet, and a most extraordinary account of an extraordinary woman. Even if, in her ceaseless humility she did not believe herself to be so.

OMG. I didn't know anything about this book when I started listening to it. I sit here, now, in tears. It was so amazing and so sad.
