Dear Kitty: Remembering Anne Frank

Synopsis: Miep Gies was an employee of the Frank family business and was one of the helpers who watched Anne grow up. It was Miep who found Anne’s diary on the floor of the hiding place after her arrest. More than 50 years after Anne Frank’s arrest, Miep Gies once again walks through the building where she used to work. She sees the bookcase that hid the entrance of the secret annexe where the family lived. Wandering through the hiding place, that was refurnished accurately for this occasion, her memories of Anne Frank come to life. Miep tells of how Anne always kept on asking about what was happening outside and of the tension inside the hiding place. She recalls how one day she saw Anne writing in her diary and then how everything ended with the arrest of the eight people in hiding.
