‘A Small Light,’ National Geographic’s limited series that depicts the Dutch woman who risked her life to shelter Anne Frank’s family from the Nazis, steers clear of pointing any fingers at the person (or people) who betrayed the family
occurred in Amsterdam and Prague, where Phelan says the production designer was “maniacal” about recreating a near perfect likeness of the annex where eight people — Otto Frank, his wife Edith and daughters Anne and Margot, as well as four others — hid for two years. 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.
“Those who hid them were hopeful to the end,” said Rater of Miep, her husband Jan , and the other helpers. “When you watch the episode when they are finally discovered, they are having a wonderful moment after the Allies landed, a moment they have all been waiting for, and a local fruit guy delivers all these strawberries. They’re in the annex making jam and they believe they are going to be free soon. It’s so infused with hope through the series.
“This is not the Anne Frank story you were taught in elementary school,” Schreiber added. “For me, it gives you a broader perspective on what it is to be Jewish.”
