what preceded

I am Kuno.

Kuno has problems with the Nazi Party.

And you have the space. -Sounds good.

Max, she worked at the Jewish Council. Talk to them.

I can try to find out where they are.

What did I say? Airstrikes are good...

because it means the English the Nazis on their falie.

Bram asked for my employment file. He wants to see me in the morning.

Some of us disagree with the policy of the occupiers.

Join us.

My country needs me. -Me, too.

I deserve to know. -I do the same as you.

You hide people. -I help.

Those people lost everything yet they resist...

and I also have to resist.

I'm waiting for Otto Frank.

Mr. Frank is gone. -Call him. Tell Tonny Ahlers to wait.

This partnership... -Blackmail.

He knows that people hide.

You names. -Is that needed?

You go first.

based on a true story

events and characters have been created or modified

Fast. Come on.

Miep. Jan. -Hi. Sorry we're late.

Am I well dressed? -You look perfect.

If only I were so fashionable.

Is this your first symphony performance? -Yes.

These are the best musicians in Amsterdam.

Jewish musicians.

They are from the Concertgebouw Orchestra set by the Nazis.

They started their own orchestra. Mama calls them war heroes.

The theater is only for Jews.

They probably don't ask but I borrowed this.

The last place in town where you can still be a Jew.

Let's go. We don't want to miss the beginning.

Good Lord. -Sit down. I am going to sit here.

young lady.

Have them sit next to each other. -I want next to Miep.

That's nice.

That's the first violinist. -She's Jewish.

That's the conductor. - He's also Jewish.

The first piece is by Mendelssohn. - He's also Jewish?

Calm down, girls.

Your house keys, please.

I'm here for my son. I need to see him.

We've already said that. Your son is in the pediatric ward.

Does it feel good to sit here with your stupid bracelet...

and follow their orders?

I want to see my child. -It's for his own good.

It's too busy here. I work there. We take good care of the babies.

You will meet again on transport, and no, i don't like this either.

Traitor. -Excuse me.

The Jewish Council is not the enemy. We know who the enemy is.

These men are trying us as easy as possible.

You save yourself.

Thank you. -I had to come to you?

Do you know Corey? -Yes, her baby likes to bite my hand.

Her family is on the list.

You have to ask now. -Can't you delay it?

The Nazis keep increasing the quotas. There are no more Jews.

At the end of the month everything here empty. It has to be now.

Your house keys, please. Thank you.

Everyone hurry up.

Hey, hurry up. Come on.

Corry Zeldenrust. Rare rest, family of three.

I'm taking her to the children's ward.

She must be back in an hour. -Thank you sir.

Corry, your family will be tomorrow brought to Westerbork.

We have a way out for your daughter.

We can make her go into hiding. Today.

A family in the countryside will take care of her.

This could save her life. -But only her? Without us?

No, she stays with me.

See you tomorrow.

Corey, it's hard to propose...

that your daughter is somewhere safer then with you...

but in the camps they catch her immediately and they kill her.

Let us do this for you.

After the war you will be reunited and she is chubby.

And most importantly, she's alive.

Please. Can you do this for her?

lay us down and protect us

and remove the enemy, the word and the sword

and the famine, the sorrow and the evil

in the shadow of Your wings you hide

for You are our Redeemer and a gracious God

guard our comings and goings Until eternity

blessed are you, Israel, who protects us eternally

Tomorrow you take this doll with you, so that the number of family members is correct.

And if they see it? -They're not looking.

They are not interested in many things.

In Westerbork you have the doll not with you.

If they ask, did your baby die on the way.

When you're ready...

I'll see you very soon, okay?

Look, he's got something there.

What happened? -Someone is floating in the water.

Turn it over. -Okay�.

Oh my God. Who would it be?

No idea.

But our courage should also not be forgotten.

So keep your diaries and letters.

The queen wants my diary. -Anne, shut up.

They are of great historical significance and cultural importance after the war.

After the war. She wouldn't say that if the Allies did not come.

You're right. She talks like the war is almost over.

That's right. The Allied forces bomb bridges and railways...

in northern France to avoid that the Germans send reinforcements.

Then we'll be out in time for the next school year.

That is possible.

Otto, don't give them false hope. -Why not? There is hope.

The Allies are close by.

There is hope. -You will see your friends again.

Quiet. Quiet. -Miep.

It's the middle of the day. The curtains are wide open.

The radio is too loud. That is prohibited.

It's Saturday. There is nobody. -It's already soft.

I have to hand it in. -Do not you dare.

We need the news now that the end is near.

I'll get a smaller radio upstairs. -I do not want that.

Hermann listens to it constantly. The kids don't have to go through the horrors...

of the bombings.

Yes. Peter needs to know that fascism is more than flags and demonstrations.

It's mass murder. - Hermann, shut up.

You just talked about optimism. -Cautious optimism.

The queen wants my diary.

Go upstairs. We have to make it to the end of the war.

May I go? - Please, Hermann. It is too much.

Thank you for your insights.

Why are you here today? Is there something wrong?

No, I came to see how are you.

Miss Frank?

Is butter already for sale?

No madam. I looked today. There is nothing.

The war never ends. -Yes.

Our queen says that we must be strong.

But our queen is in England.

Our queen has all the butter that she needs.

Are you Miep Gies?

What can I do for you? -This is for you.

It accidentally ended up with me. I just live here.

Are you the new neighbour?

I am Miep. -I know that. That's right there.

If you ever need anything, you can call.

Although such an offer means nothing more. We have nothing.

I'll see you later.

Jan, the new upstairs neighbour is a Nazi.

I know. I saw him move. I don't think he can hear us.

Test that by looking at Jewish music to listen on an illegal radio?

Should we or our roommate be arrested?

Where is Kuno? -In Mrs. Stoppelman's room.

Everything is fine. Calm down.

Everything is fine?

Of course not, but there is again a baby safe in Friesland.

So cute and chubby.

Sometimes you need the small victories celebrate, otherwise...

You see? No more Mendelssohn.

But you love Mendelssohn. -Jan.

Do you remember the Jewish theater?

Close your eyes. Pretend we're there again.

I have to go to the market early tomorrow then the potato man.

Then I see if they have butter.

I can radio in the morning to the outhouse.

Then I hand it in to Frank's office with the Nazis. Then we cooperate.

Oh Kuno. The man upstairs... -He's a Nazi. That's what Jan said.

Officially only Jan and I live here, so if he finds you...

No problem. Be careful. -Are you OK?

I have a huge headache. No idea Why. I'm just trying to sleep.

Just call if you need anything.

Would you like to take my radio? -It makes me nervous.

Why? Why now? Because of the civil status?

That is a long time ago. They could have arrested me long ago.

Quiet.

I saw a corpse in the canal.

The first Jew I've met in weeks saw it, and it floated in the ditch.

He must have died while he was in hiding.

Is that what the resistance does throw people away like old fish?

What would you do? What can you do?

The Germans are in a tight spot. They know the Allies are coming.

It gets worse before it gets better. -Do you think it will get better?

No, it's the neighbor. I told him to knock.

Why would you do that? - You tell that to neighbors.

Just hold on.

Miss Gis? -Can I help you with anything?

We're here for Jewish property to liquidate.

This address belongs to a... -Henriette Stoppelman.

Oh, that's a mistake. She hasn't lived here for a long time.

Is that right?

defend us and remove the enemy above us

and the sword, the famine and the suffering

What is? -They're here.

It's all right.

Everyone stand up. This building is officially closed.

All children must immediately be taken to the camps.

Then it's your turn. Wake them up, dress them up. Now.

The only inhabitants are you, Jan Gies, and you, Miep Gies. Is that right?

Yes that's right.

What room did the old lady sleep in? - My cousin is...

also in insurance.

Good for your cousin.

So this is your furniture? -Yes.

You have the same taste as my grandmother.

Come insult me and steal my furniture?

All right, next.

Sofa, two armchairs.

Come on, hurry up. Over here. Come on come on.

Come on, quick now.

Come on.

Quickly run to the teacher's house. Knock on and hide. Walk, walk.

Careful, careful.

Come here.

Horvath wanted a dining table after all for four people?

He wants oak. That's spruce.

Is this your room?

Is that needed? -Madam?

Why did Mrs. Stoppelberg leave? -Stubbleman.

Has she moved, fled or moved?

One day we came home and she was gone.

Luckily you had your own furniture, didn't you?

This is theft, what you are doing. These are not your things.

Come on, she left it. A girl has to sit on something.

Do you take everything? -I think we have everything.

We'll be back for the furniture of that old Jew.

You shall hear from us.

What the hell?

They acted like they were in charge here. -They are now.

Are you OK? -No, I just keep shaking.

Well done. It saved a hair.

Back already?

Max? -I need your help.

So you hid in a closet and they didn't find you?

I know, but we were stuck.

They stayed for hours and took the children.

When it got quiet, I slipped away and I called Max.

Betje wanted to go with the children to Westerbork.

How many children have we taken care of and given to those sadists?

You have saved countless children. -And sent thousands to their deaths.

The Jewish Council said that we were safe.

You could use some tea.

We have a shelter but we can't leave the city.

Maybe I can help. Let Stella stay here tonight.

She is no longer safe in your house.

Will you help me with the tea? -Yes.

Yes, what's your plan?

I do not know yet. -Try again.

The Germans have transport stopped...

and the checkpoints reinforced. They can't leave town.

So are they staying here? Four more people?

That is not possible. Not with those cops and the new upstairs neighbour.

That goes wrong. -Miep.

Anyway, things go wrong whatever we do.

They take children. -My God.

I thought we weren't safe. No one was safe there.

We thought it was. We have not been warned.

Now they abolish the Jewish Council and they come after us.

Please live there an NSB officer above us.

An NSB officer? Max, you said this was safe.

I thought so too. Jan.

We don't have a safer peak right now. As long as we're quiet, we're safe.

Kuno?

I've used cold compresses, but his temperature won't drop.

It could be a migraine or a virus.

In the worst case, it is meningitis. That can be deadly and contagious.

He has to go to the hospital. -The police are looking for him.

Can't you take care of him? -We don't know the cause.

We'll keep it up for a while, see if it gets better.

Can we have some clean water? -Yes.

And willow bark would be nice.

And maybe alcohol? - Rubbing alcohol?

Does not matter. Cognac, gin, rye. It is for me.

Stella? Since when are you here? -Max asked me to come last night.

Do you have an extra towel? -In the closet.

Thank you.

Is anyone else in the house?

I'm going to talk to Bram, okay�? I'm sending everyone away.

Can you get willow bark for Kuno? -Yes. Anything else?

What do we do when Kuno... -If he dies? I have no idea.

Me neither. No idea. -Good.

I'll get some willow bark, okay?

I have to go to work. Don't make a sound. We don't know how much he can hear.

Only walk in socks. Pull the toilet not through, do not use the tap.

There shouldn't be anyone here.

Make sure he doesn't die.

Please be quiet. - Then don't stab my gums like that.

I assume they land in Spain.

Madrid is the capital. -Spain or Portugal.

Lisbon is the capital. -What are you doing?

I remember things for when I come back.

Good idea. -I know.

The best news would be France. -Paris.

Please. - Mom, we have to go to Paris.

Then we'll see where Renoir lived. - Why would I want that?

You love Renoir. -Is that right?

Meep, the radio. Just drop it here.

No, it's still at home. -We can't listen downstairs.

I'm here for the shopping list.

Edith has it. - So we don't have a radio anymore?

Please, Van Pels. -Mama, the shopping list.

I do not have it. -You don't get any information.

I do have it. I can't do my pan find. Did you wash it off?

No, he's on the counter, next to you.

Edith, Gerrit is coming today. -The potato man.

The radio is now the most important. The Allies will arrive in a few days.

The potato man. -News is more important than food.

Oh no. He speaks for himself. -Are there any potatoes in the attic?

Anne, Peter, go upstairs and look if there are potatoes.

Also bring a pack of beans. -Also moldy ones that can be saved.

South of France I understand, but Normandy?

I can't find my pan. -Edith, that's right there.

Mother, there's a... -Anne, Anne.

Don't yell like that. -Sorry.

Stop.

Stop that now. -Stop.

They can hear this. Maybe Gerrit is downstairs.

That's Gerrit. Clean it up.

Do not. That makes too much noise. Do nothing.

Gerrit, luckily I don't miss you. - It's the NSB man.

Who blackmailed Otto. -Tonny Ahlers?

He's just leaving if he saw you.

I'm not saying it again.

I don't know where Mr. Frank is. -Lost in Switzerland.

In addition to sausage seasoning I have nothing for you.

Can you leave? -Times have changed.

Look around you. It's another city. No more dirty Jews.

Well, congratulations. Scarcity determines the market price.

You now get a lot more money if you declare a Jew.

Come on. You know where the Franks are.

I'll find someone who knows. Your share would be significant.

Think about it.

He said... -I've heard it.

Don't you think he suspects that they are here?

Gerrit, I was scared that I missed you.

That man hung out here when I arrived. I waited.

You probably don't want him such a large order.

Watch out for him. He's bad news. Have a nice day.

Did Gerrit say what I think he said?

Like it's common knowledge? "Because of the Jews you hide."

Maybe Tonny Ahlers knows that too? -Don't know. I do not think so.

Why would he give me a share? This is so bad.

What? What is?

Miss Frank, you can't come here.

I just wanted to get out.

Then I saw the sunlight in the hallway. I needed some sunlight.

Can I talk to you? -Of course, but inside.

No, I can't be there for a second Stay longer.

With their chatter, plans and cheers about the end of the war...

like it's already here. Like ours girls are already out of danger.

I feel so ashamed. -Are you ashamed?

I have a bad feeling. I can't get rid of it.

A dark hole in my stomach says that this war will never end.

Margot and Anne look at me...

and they have so much light in their eyes. So much hope.

I can't look at them. Then I'll break it.

I destroy their hope when they look me in the eye.

Two years already, Miep. I am haven't been out in two years.

Is it better? Tell me it's better outside.

It's much better that you're in now.

Did you know there is a rubber shortage? We confiscate your bicycle.

I need it for my work. I have papers.

Your bike is needed for the war. Don't want to contribute?

I work for our government.

I work for Bram Becker. You can't take my bike.

You decide what I do and not allowed to do?

No. I'm sorry.

Do you have a big mouth social worker?

Do you want special treatment? "I have a pass."

I didn't. - Do you enjoy working for the government?

There is a labor camp in Germany that can use your passion.

Come with me.

I did nothing wrong. Please.

Tell it again. What happened? Mrs. Frank walked straight into the office.

I almost fell dead. -Why?

They get stressed and get sloppy. All of us.

We think Gerrit knows. He didn't say it, but...

We have to be more careful. -Even more? Those people need to eat.

we are doing well, but people find out anyway.

We have to move them. They can't stay.

Eight people? -He is right.

Who hides people outside the city? -Mr Frank won't let them travel separately.

They cannot go out on the street at the same time. -Then we lock them up.

Is less freedom really the solution?

Are you still recording?

Opekta.

Do nothing. Tell them to stay there. Please. I'm coming.

Oh my God. -What is?

Nothing. It's nobody.

Register prisoner. Stand still.

I work for the municipality as a social worker.

Guard.

You are mistaken. I have important work to do.

We have to register him.

We're going to chat. I don't like his talk.

Guard. I have important work to do. -Go inside.

This is a misunderstanding. I'm just doing my job.

Tell me, social worker, do you work with bram becker?

Yes, I already said that. -Yeah, right.

Run. I do say that an unknown Dutchman overpowered me.

He escaped the police. -What?

Then you shoot me in the back. -Quick, dummy. Before anyone sees you.

Say hello to Bram Becker.

I wanted to stop them. -They have to take him.

Here we go. -He can't go to the hospital.

It has to. -Jan will soon come with willow bark.

That is not enough. -Good care is needed.

Is he really going to die? -No, but we don't know what it is.

If he gets caught, he dies. Then we'll all be arrested.

His mother, our landlady and eight more people. Children too.

And they all die. Mean so much.

Jan, the willow bark. - That's really not enough.

Try it. Jan. -I do not have it.

What? I asked you one thing.

We go. I don't want another life have on my conscience.

Oh God. I feel...

so much better.

That's better.

I was upstairs and heard a man shout. Is everyone okay?

Yes, everyone is fine. -Everything is fine.

Sorry, the iron fell on my foot. I screamed.

Thanks for your concern. -No problem.

Put some ice on it. -Thank you.

Yes. -Thank you.

It was like a hammer on my face hit and then it went away.

We think it was an abscess with an infection that has burst.

We stay with him to watch that the infection does not get worse.

He seems fine. -Awesome.

Luckily we have two great nurses in the house.

What is? -Nothing.

I asked you for one thing. I give eight Jews to eat at my work.

You bring five people to my house and then you don't arrange willow bark?

I made it and then I was arrested.

What? -It's ok�.

They let me go. They took my bike with me, for the tires.

Why did they arrest you? -Because they can.

What had you done? -Nothing.

I said I need my bike and they disobeyed me.

Then what did you say? - Why are you interrogating me?

Because I can see all day in front of me how we throw Kuno in the canal.

I don't know what else must do. Everything collapses.

And you come home and wants to celebrate the victories. Jan...

Mrs. Frank is today walked out of the outhouse.

What? -Yeah, she just walked out.

She could have walked right out into the street, to the hairdresser, for example.

She's about to collapse. I maybe too, so you can solve that too.

And yet you bring more people with you. Soon we won't save them anymore.

Then they are in more danger. There must be a limit.

The Nazis take every day more people...

so we have to save more and more.

Maybe we can't celebrate but we can't stop either.

We can never wonder if we could have done more.

Do you think I don't know? -Where are you going?

I'll sit with Kuno to keep him alive.

Tomorrow I will discuss with Bram how we get four more Jews out of town.

I'll figure out how to feed them.

And I smuggle a radio to the eight Jews at my work.

It's no contest. -Nazi.

Okay come on. Come on, this way.

Do we get new IDs? -From the following contact.

We've kept you busy. What are you going to do now?

I'll think of something, Max.

Halt. -Guard.

No movement.

Everyone, hands against the wall. -Do what he says. Against the wall.

Until after the war.

We can run.

Shall we flee? -No, do as he says.

Whatever they say, do it.

Listen to the social worker. Turn around.

Come on.

This is our contact.

Everyone in the car. Hurry up. -Into the car.

Bastards.

Mr Kleiman? Mr Kugler?

So careless.

So messy. All those seats around the radio.

The illegal radio with the BBC on. Do you understand the danger?

It looks like people live here. You can't go down anymore.

You stay here.

I don't like it, but I have to protect you and if you...

The Allies are in France. - They call it D-day.

What? -They're here.

That's why we had to listen downstairs.

Where did they land? - Normandy.

Just as the queen predicted.

We are liberated. -The radio, Miep. Thank you.

Normandy here. -When, Otto? End of the year?

I think mid October.

Can we go to school in the fall? -Maybe.

I'll go to a real dentist first. Not meant bad.

Gerrit. -Hi, can I come in?

This is not your normal day. Is everything all right?

One of my suppliers had a surplus.

I thought you sometime would like something sweet.

Or you can share them with whomever she wants.

Strawberries. -Unbelieveable.

We can't get those. -We're trying.

Sometimes you gotta celebrate so we're going to make jam.

I close early. I've locked down tight.

We have many hands and a jam maker.

Who then? -I.

The best straw. -Wait, try it.

They will advance north. -I do not think so.

What do you think, Miep? -I think you're a strawberry thief.

Yes.

No, we don't need everything. -Who's the jam maker here?

Miep gets rude. -No, Miep is perfect.

I'm going to Palestine. Working in a kibbutz.

What? No, that's too far. -Too far?

I am going as well. I want midwife become. Help with childbirth.

And you, mom? What are you going to do after the war?

Yes, what do you want to do? -I haven't thought about that yet.

Maybe the sun on our face to feel. Together, outside. Yes.

We all know that Anne becomes a writer.

Maybe she'll end up in Hollywood like those people on her wall.

If you're going to publish that journal, I want to read it first.

Absolutely not. -Only the bits about me.

Also tell you about that time that my hair got stuck in the sink?

I've already said you can read when it is ready and not before.

Thank you for this. -Thank Gerrit the potato man.

This reminds me when we just met.

You worked on that jam for days. You learned all the pitfalls and tricks.

You never gave up. -I wanted the job.

That's why I did what you said. - You hated it.

'Mr Frank, I'm not a housewife and I never want to be.'

Why didn't you just fire me?

Could you imagine how did it go then?

Daddy. -Yes.

What are you going to do after the war? -Same as now.

Read and listen to Dickens to the noise of my family.

But then I eat chocolate and I drink real, honest coffee.

And we don't need that smelly toilet not to share.

Certainly. -Good Lord.

Everything feels different to me. The whole city, the people, the sky.

The idea that the Allies are coming.

Nothing has changed. Look around you.

Floated there a few weeks ago a dead man in that moat.

You're right. I kept thinking that things could never go back to normal.

But today I see it. Do you feel that?

I want to, but I still have to pick up the shopping list in the morning.

I'm bringing Dr. Pfeffer Lotte's letters...

tell Anne everything I've done...

and prevent Mrs Van Pels and Mrs. Frank kill each other.

That's why I don't see it that way yet.

I have to go on with it until they are free.

Then it will feel different.

You are awful. -The coffee is ready.

What's so funny?

Kugler. -Kugler? What?

Funny is the last word how I would describe him.

What are you doing there? We find those beans until after the war.

No movement.

Stay seated.
