Miep Gies' life is an affirmation of Anne's belief in the goodness of humanity, because she helped the Jews to remain hidden, even if it was very dangerous for her, besides, she helped them without expecting anything in return and without receiving no advantage.

Explanation:

As you may already know, Anne Frank and her family were victims of the Nazism that reigned during the Second World War and put all Jews present in Europe in a very dangerous situation. Not just the Jews, but any citizen who helped them would be arrested, tortured and possibly killed at the hands of the Nazis.

Anne Frank and her family will try to escape this cruel fate by hiding in the hope that they will not be found until the war is over. However, it would be impossible to stay hidden for so long without the help of non-Jews who could walk the streets freely. Who helped Anne Frank's family were the employees of her father's company, among them Miep Gies, who courageously helped the whole Frank family without receiving anything for it and taking a serious risk of life.

When Anne Frank's diary became a famous book, many people praised Miep Gies and claimed that she was a true hero, however Gies never thought he did more than his duty to help those in need. This confirms the certainty that Anne had that even in the face of all the sadness and hopelessness that the war brought, there were still good people in the world, who were not corrupted by evil.
