During the arrest, Miep stayed right there in the office, and for the rest of the day after the arrest was over. A few days later, she went to Gestapo headquarters to make an offer to "buy" the freedom of those arrested. She was told by Silberbauer (the arresting officer) that it was "out of his hands".
Miep Gies was not arrested for helping the franks and Van pels family. It was said that the arresting officer had felt a connection with her so he let her go, and she was dutch.
Karl Josef Silberbauer was the SS man who arrested the Franks and the other occupants of the secret annexe.
The Franks settled in modern-day France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and western Germany.
Franks were a group of barbarians outside of the Roman Empire, and they were from parts of modern day France.
The van Pels (also known as the van Daans) joined the Frank family in hiding in July 1942, a month after the Franks went into hiding. They shared the secret annex with the Franks until they were arrested in August 1944.
