Miep Gies Interview - The Raid and Anne Frank's Capture
In this interview, Otto Frank's employee
and friend, Miep Gies, discusses the day
that the Secret Annex was raided and Anne
Frank, her family, and several others were
arrested. She recounts how Austrian police
officer Karl Silberbauer, a member of the
SS, berated her before ultimately deciding
not to place her under arrest. Toward the
end of this Miep Gies interview, she talks
about how she went to the Secret Annex a
short time later and found Anne Frank's
diary, which had fallen out of Otto
Frank's briefcase when Silberbauer emptied
its contents onto the floor during the
raid.
