The Frank Family was very lucky to have Miep. She was very brave. She broke the law just to keep her friends alive. She could have backed off but she did not. She loved the frank family that much. It shows alot about someone when they go that extra mile. Rest in peace Miep. Tell anne Her fans on youtube say Hi

Translation:

Those people were in danger and i was able to help them, so why would i refuse

It felt like my duty, I thought it was very normal. Nothing special, i knew i could help them and so i did. And after the war i had more time to think about it, but Jan and me still had trouble with the fact that we lost 7 people. You can't forget that, it keeps coming up. And then i said to Jan, look, during that time of the war we didnt turn the other cheeck, but we offered our help to people...
