Bep Voskuijl (5 July 1919 - 6 May 1983). At just 23 years old, she became one of the brave helpers who risked everything to hide the Frank family and others in the secret annex in Amsterdam.

She worked in Otto Frank’s office and used her position to bring food, books, paper, and comfort to those in hiding.

Quiet and kind, Bep and Anne Frank grew especially close. Anne trusted her, confided in her, and even wrote about her in her diary with warmth and affection.

Bep never sought fame. After the war, she lived a quiet life. But her actions echo through time.

She didn’t carry a weapon. She didn’t wear a uniform.
But she showed up - with courage, compassion, and quiet strength.

Bep Voskuijl will always be remembered - not just as a helper, but as a friend.
