For use in teaching literature to high school students. Miep Gies, her husband, and a few loyal friends hid the Frank family from the Nazis for more than two years. Here she recounts her own childhood as a refugee during World War I, the daily risks she took while hiding and supporting the Franks, and the moment she handed Otto Frank his daughter's diary. It is a stirring and honest account and an important document of the struggle for human rights.
