| Biographical/Historical Note |
The following is a video clip from an oral history interview with Jerry Meents and Hanna Meents. "HM: Miep took care of everything, helped them, did their laundry, tried to get food for them. Course it was a terrible time. People died on the street from hunger. It was unbearable, but Miep did whatever she could and she saved how many people? JM: She couldn't save them, they died because she went to the concentration camp. HM: Later on, yeah. JM: But that's why they weren't saved. HM: No that's true, right. JM: She took care of about six or eight people. HM: She helped them through the bad times. JM: Well in hiding, when the Franks were in hiding, yes. HM: She was a small woman, but she had nerve." |
