Anne Frank Remembered: The Autobiography Of Miep Gies
Anne Frank Remembered: Review
Anne Frank Remembered is the autobiography of Miep Gies, the woman who helped the Frank family survive during their two years in hiding. Her book is a primary source or first hand account of the persecution of Jewish people in Nazi occupied Holland during the second world war. It is also the first hand account of the hiding of Jews such as the Frank family, the Van Daan family, and Dr.
Albert Dussel during this time. In regard to the book's autobiographical format, the author, Miep Gies, does not present the reader with a clear thesis statement. Instead, throughout the book the author discusses her main views toward the actions of the Nazis and their oppression of the Jewish people. Her disapproval of German Nazi actions …show more content…
The only thing left for Miep to do was retrieve some of their belongings. During her quick surveyance of the scene of the raid, she found the diary of Mr. Frank's youngest daughter, Anne. She took it back to her desk and saved it until the war was over. In early 1945, the war ended and the remaining Jewish prisoners were released. The only survivor of the families Miep had helped to hide was Otto
Frank. She had kept his business running and he returned to live with her and her husband. After receiving a letter confirming the death of Anne and her sister Margot, Miep gave Anne's diary to Mr. Frank. The diary was published and became popular all over the world. It was Anne's legacy to everyone who had suffered under Nazi rule. This story is the author's main evidence in her argument that under Nazi rule, "a slow strangulation was taking place, we began to realize: first isolation, and now impoverization" (Gies, p. 71, 1987) of the Jewish race.
Her argument is very convincing to the reader because her evidence is a first hand account of what actually happened. She was an eye witness to what happened to honest Jewish families such as the Frank family and the Van Daan
