    Not knowing much about Miep, I have become immensely interested in this series. Most of us know the Anne Frank story but not much about the Saint known a Miep who sacrificed her own life to do whatever it took to protect the family. It is masterpiece of work and an excellent series.

    I’m so glad they made a show about Miep and Jan. There are so many renditions about the Frank family, (as there should be) but I’m glad we can see a POV of these two brave souls. Also, a great show if you want to learn more about the Frank family while they were in hiding, without gore and hard to watch scenes. Great show.

    I really liked this. The story from Miep’s side was really brilliant because we know she risked a lot for the people she and her husband were helping but it’s difficult to imagine the full extent of the risks involved. Miep truly was an incredible person and the actress did a great job. All those times she got frustrated or lost her temper, I like to think that was a side of miep that we don’t often think about because she was as human as the rest

    I give a lot of credit to this miniseries. Obviously there's probably some creative licensing involved, but this taught me a lot of Miep that I never knew growing up. And after finishing this series, it made me want to revisit the Diary of Anne Frank so I bought that on Audible, and I just finished watching Freedom Writers movie that has a couple of very emotional scenes about the Holocaust and Miep Gies.

    Biside the eccelent actors I want to give a big compliment to the property master and the set dressers.
    I'm a historian from the Netherlands and i recognize everything.
    Things, they probebly couldn't know is: Jazz music was forbidden by the Germans, radio's where forbidden, so radio's had to be kept hdden and the telephones are not the telephones used in the Netherlands in the 1930's and 40's.
    The office and annex are almost perfectly re build. The actual home of Anne was used. Outside at the Merwedeplein in Amsterdam and the rebuild inside.
    impressive series!
    Probably the best I've ever seen about WW2 in the Netherlands.

    Absolutely fantastic series. The bravery shown by these "ordinary" people was truly outstanding, they were in fact very extra- ordinary people. Also, and I am not sure my words do this justice, but we have all seen the photo's and films of the people in the camps many looking like walking skeletons and barely recognizable as human. This series showed us those people as normal living, laughing, loving folk before the worst of humanity took hold of them. But this series also showed us the very best of humanity in people risking everything to just try and protect the people they knew and loved. Outstanding cast and very, very well put together.

When a friend told me about this series I immediately started watching it and was transported back to my visit there. I loved every minute of this series and have told everyone I know to watch it. I loved getting to see the story told through the eyes of Miep and Jan, it’s brilliant! I can’t wait to watch it again!

    Miep was deeply conscious of what she was doing. She was a party girl in the 30's but also very educated and understood what then was going on in Europe especially Germany. She said "yes" to Otto Frank, knowing what she was doing and risking. it is clear in Miep's autobiography.
    but overall I enjoyed the series.

    I have always been so interested in learning about all these stories, specially the unknown heroes like Miep and her husband. Anything related to the holocaust is just fascinating and at the same time so traumatizing to learn how evil men can be. I wish some day I have the chance to visit Anna Frank's museum for a taste of hope and a visit to Auswitch for a taste of pure evil.

While breathing deeply trying to release anxiety.. I literally threw the remote in anger and looked forward to each episode..

I Would have fort against all odds even if it meant loosing my life .

Great acting, writing & directing at telling a story we already know. 20 years later, the arresting Nazi said when he took her the real Anne was much older & prettier than the Anne portrayed at that time and in pix and I think this one would come close.

    This has been an amazing series
    In my personal opinion this is probably Liev Schrieber's best work. He manages to convey pain, gratitude, dignity, hope and desperation by just the look in his eyes.
    This series have been written and directed in a way that show normal people becoming extraordinary, while walking the fine line in giving space for lighter moments (as what is normal in dark situations) while still being respectful of the real history behind it.
    The directors and producers also managed to go back to a time where they conveyed the horror of the situation not by being explicit, but showing the effect it has on people witnessing it.
    I also appreciate the telling of the story of people being involved not because they were the victims, but because they chose to side with the victims.
    A bit closer to home (and not nearly at the same level) this reminded me of Beyers Naude (a reverent in the apartheid's years) who from a position of privilege made the choice to stick his neck out for the disadvantaged and the disenfranchised.
    The story of Miep and Jan shows how people who could have been 'safe' by just turning away and doing nothing chose to put their own lives in danger, not necessarily because they started off as heroes, but because it was impossible to just let this atrocity happen without trying to do something about it.
    Bravo for the producers, actors, writers, directors and crew. This is the type of superhero series the world needs more of

    I have read many books about the Holocaust, and enjoyed this series however...Disney can't help itself. Bringing in the gay stuff did not add anything to this serious and tragic event in history. This is why I will never go back to a Disney Park. Groomers all the time. How did I see this on Disney+? My grown daughter has the app. She loves the story of the Anne Franks Diary, so we watched it on Christmas day thinking about the sad events and the courage and wonderful story of Meip. Try harder Disney!
