Marta Balaga Miep Gies, as well as her husband Jan, helped hide Anne Frank and her family from the Nazis in Amsterdam, she also saved the girl’s diary. But she never considered herself a hero. “She didn’t want to be put on a pedestal.

The international premiere of the first episode screened at the international series festival in Cannes, followed by an on-stage discussion.
