My Time With Anne Frank
No, Miep Gies was not Jewish. She was a Dutch citizen who worked for Otto Frank, helping to hide his family, including Anne Frank, during World War II. Miep Gies played a crucial role in supporting and protecting the Frank family.
Miep gies was a non-jew so she could buy food for the families in hiding using a rash-ion book limiting the amount of food she could buy.
Otto Frank and Miep Gies collected Anne's original diary after she died and compiled it into a book format.
Anne Frank did not publish the book/diary herself. Miep Gies found it after the police brought the Frank family to different concentration camps. Miep then gave it to Anne Frank's father, Otto Frank after he escaped the concentration camp he was in. Otto Frank published it after editing, etcetera.
The first document of a Jew before going to a concentration camp was Anne Frank's diary, which was published postmortem by Miep Gies and Anne's father when they unexpectedly recovered it. Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor, wrote a book called "Night" describing his experiences at Auschwitz. There are many other Holocaust survivors as well, who are tell their experiences of concentration camps in museums for younger audiences.
I believe US Grant was the first President to write about his wartime experiences.
The helpers that hid Anne Frank and her family were arrested by the Gestapo and sent to concentration camps. Miep Gies, who helped hide the Franks, survived the war and later published Anne Frank's diary. Otto Frank, the only survivor from his family, maintained a lifelong friendship with Miep Gies.
In the nonfiction book 'Freedom Writers', there is symbolic interaction when the class meets with Miep Gies, the Dutch woman who sheltered Anne Frank and her family. The story is about a dedicated teacher who attempts to show her class the effects of racism and racist propaganda can have on people, by teaching them about the Holocaust.
My own personal experiences have made me believe very firmly in the existence of God and I write about them in my book at: marjorieagoston.net
Miep Gies, a Dutch woman who helped hide the Frank family during the Holocaust, found and saved Anne Frank's diary after the family was discovered and arrested by the Nazis. She kept the diary safe until after the war, when she returned it to Anne's father, Otto Frank.

Harriet could write anything in a diary. She could write about her experiences, adventures, thoughts, and feelings. If this is for a school project, you could talk about her experiences in slavery.
