In response to Otto Frank asking Miep Gies if she’d be willing to help hide his family:

“Of course,” she replied.

She added, “there is a look between two people once or twice in a lifetime that cannot be described by words. That look passed between us. I asked no further questions, I felt no curiosity. I had given my word.”

Really weary of this ::sigh::

“Every year on 4 August, the day of the betrayal, Miep and Jan close their curtain and take their telephone off the hook.”

“In 1942, Otto Frank asks Kugler if he would help Otto’s family and that of his colleague Van Pels, should they decide to go into hiding. He agrees without hesitation. ‘I had to. They were my friends,’ he later says.”
