The National Geographic series 'A Small Light' tells the story of Miep Gies, who protected the Frank family in Amsterdam.
Most of us are familiar with "The Diary of Anne Frank," which chronicled the life of a young Jewish woman and her family who hid from the Nazis during World War II, but you may not know the story of the woman who did so much to protect the Franks in Amsterdam.The new show takes its title from the words of this courageous woman, who survived the war and lived a long life to inspire us all.
The hazards of helping are obvious in a new limited series set during the Holocaust, but unlike other stories about this horror, the focus of "A Small Light" is on Gies who did her best to save Otto Frank and his family by hiding them from the Nazis. "The reason I'm here today is because my grandma is a Holocaust survivor, and I remember her telling me all the moments of hope in her story and how that allowed her to survive," said Ashley Brooke who plays Margot Frank."Antisemitism is massively on the rise, and also Miep just standing up, right in the face of like hatred and standing up for what was right, we can learn from that because of what'd going on in the world today," Powley said.
