Jan Gies, the husband of helper Miep, came by to have lunch with the people in hiding, as he often did. Miep warned him about the presence of the police officers and Jan immediately left and went back to his place of work. There he reflected: what could he do?
Jan Gies ran an aid center to assist those returning, and he asked everyone whether they knew the Frank family and what had happened to them, but to no avail. Finally, on June 3, 1945, he received a definitive answer: someone told him that Otto Frank was on his way back to Amsterdam.
