Episode 67: Miep Gies- A woman who just wanted to do the right thing
Hello and welcome back to Breakfast with Mom!
Today we’re focusing on a woman whose quiet courage changed the course of history — Miep Gies.
You might know her as the woman who helped hide Anne Frank and her family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. But Miep’s life story is much richer than that moment alone. It’s a story of compassion, bravery, and moral conviction in a time when silence could mean complicity, and speaking out could cost you everything.
