Miep Gies was a close friend of the Franks, as she worked in Otto Frank’* company. Her husband Jan and she both helped the Franks a lot when they were preparing to shift to the secret annexe. They used to stuff their belongings in bags and pockets and take them to their hiding place. Most of the times she used to smuggle food for them into the annexe. She even baked cakes for them on special occasions. In other words, she turned out to be a good friend of the Franks who helped them in their hour of need. Miep often visited the secret annexe and brought the news from the outside and of course a breath of fresh air too whenever she came. Since Anne didn’t have any friend, she sometimes found a good friend in Miep. Miep always tried her best to make the situation of the persons hiding in the annexe a little more comfortable.
