She was the last human link with the concealed but intense life in the secret building on the Prinsengracht canal, now known as the Anne Frank House, which attracts about a million visitors a year. Otto stopped the investigation with a sentence: "If you suspect Miep, you suspect me." In the 1950s, as the diary began to win a reputation, Miep was one of a wide range of people investigated on suspicion that she had betrayed the Franks to the Nazis. When Anne's father, Otto, returned from the camps as the Franks' only survivor, he lived as one of her family for some years. After their capture, she tried to buy the people of the annexe back from Gestapo officers, only to be called " schweinehund" and thrown out.
