A Small Light follows twenty-something Miep Gies who, when her boss Otto Frank came to her and asked her to hide his family from the Nazis during World War II, didn't hesitate. For the next two years, Miep, her husband Jan, and the other helpers watched over the eight souls (Otto Frank, his wife Edith and daughters Anne and Margot as well as four others) in hiding in the Secret Annex. And it was Miep who found Anne's Diary and kept it safe so Otto, the only one of the eight who survived, could later share it with the world as one of the most powerful accounts of the Holocaust. |

Jan and Miep Gies are heroes, I highly recommend this miniseries!
Joe Cole (Jan) usually plays the tough guy; Gangs of London, Peaky Blinders (this is when I took note of him), and of course Eleanor Tomlinson from Poldark and The War of the Worlds. Still liking this mini series!
Excellent show. I recommend watching this series. I didn’t know how involved Miep and Jon were involved with the underground.
I didn’t look to see who was in this drama. I kept thinking Mr. Frank’s voice sounds familiar but his appearance wasn’t right! He is none other than Liev Schreiber without much hair. So far I like what I’ve seen.
I have been intrigued by the history of WWII. Here is something I knew nothing about. I knew of Anne Frank, and I will put this mini-series at the top of my “to watch list”.
