The National Geographic production A Small Light, in its previous two episodes, had successfully established a strong emphasis on the fate of the Jews in a Nazi-affected Netherlands during World War II. However, certain Dutch families at the time, including Miep and Jan Gies, offered to aid in protecting these Jewish families from Nazi entrapment. Miep and her husband, Jan Gies, were successful in sheltering the German Jewish businessman Otto Frank and his family in a covert annex of Otto Frank’s office premises. As more Jews joined the hideout, Miep found it impossible to continue gathering rations for all of them. They found it difficult to hide the Jews and move around in plain sight in front of the Nazis, but they did their best to make it seem as if nothing happened. Meanwhile, Jan received a proposition from his company to join the resistance movement, which he enthusiastically accepted.
