Every day, Miep received letters from all over the world with questions about her relationship with Anne Frank and her role as a helper. "I'm not a hero', she once said, "It wasn't something I planned in advance, I simply did what I could to help." In this video Miep Gies tells how Otto Frank asked her to help him and his family during hiding.
