Ms. Gies, her husband, and several friends risked their lives to hide the Franks from the Nazis in Amsterdam. They were ultimately unsuccessful. But Ms. Gies found and preserved Anne’s diary and gave it to her father, the family’s only survivor. Due to her courage and foresight, The Diary of Anne Frank became known around the world.
