Answer Miep Gies: "The best memory was on D-day; the morning that I brought the
news of the invasion. The day that thousands of your fathers sacrificed their lives to bring us freedom again. The joy of the hiders can't be described. Tears and laughs for hours!

The most difficult moment I had the day that I came to the Attic and entered the room where Anne was writing in her diary. From the way she looked up, I saw she felt disturbed. Her mother came into the room too and grasping the tense situation, she tried to solve it by saying: "Yes, Miep, you should know Anne keeps a diary (as if I did not know, since she always asked me for paper!), whereupon Anne angrily stood up, closed her diary with a snap and snarled "and about you I write too!". Just before she dashed out, I managed to say "I am sure that will be something nice" Many hours I needed to recover from this incident. One thing I knew from this: Anne demanded her privacy to be respected."
