  • Anne Frank 2025
    May 14 2025
    During our coverage of Miep Gies, we presented the story of the events that were happening in the world at large during WW2, closer in within the city of Amsterdam, and then to a smaller scale within the lives, offices and homes of the helpers. Susan has in fact taken a pilgrimage to Amsterdam to visit the attic where Anne lived and Miep worked so hard to keep her safe. But, since we cannot all be there in person, here is our Anne Frank episode from 2018, the story of what was happening inside the secret annex, and in the hearts of the people who lived there. As Anne once wrote in her diary: "What is done cannot be undone, but one can prevent it from happening again." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

  • Miep Gies Part 2
    Apr 23 2025
    Miep Gies risked her life in order to help her Jewish friends hide from the Nazis during World War 2. In Part 2 of her story, we'll take you through the years of struggle and subterfuge, the dark day when the Secret Annex was raided, and how Miep saved Anne Frank's writings from destruction. Anne's diary is one of the most significant historical documents of the 20th century, providing a deeply personal account of life during the Holocaust. Said Miep of her work during the war: "My story is a story of very ordinary people during extraordinary times, times the like of which I hope with all my heart will never come again. It is for all of us ordinary people all over the world to see to it that they do not."
