According to "Woman Who Helped Hide Anne Frank Dies at 100" by Teri Schultz, Miep Gies helped Anne and her family because it was the right thing to do. she wanted to be a hero. she wanted to fight the Nazis. she was forced to do so.

Explanation:

There is a whole book devoted to the heroes who helped during the second world war. Search for Sir Martin Gilbert. I think he estimates there were 10000 people and families who hid Jews during the war. It also includes 2 dogs.

They certainly didn't want to be heroes. In fact, most of them didn't like admitting that they had done it. Anti Semitism didn't evaporate after WWII. It is alive and well even today.

She didn't particularly want to fight the Nazis. Her loyalty was to the Frank family.

The Franks didn't force her to do anything. They were just grateful she did it.

She did it because it was the right thing to do.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
