The TVI Take

Emmy-nominated limited series. The story of Miep Gies, the Dutch woman who helped hide Anne Frank's family from the Nazis.

Moderate cognitive demands. Exceptional educational value from the Holocaust history told through the perspective of a rescuer rather than the rescued. Bel Powley brings warmth and courage to an extraordinary ordinary woman.
