Jewish actor Liev Schreiber will co-star in an upcoming Disney+ and National Geographic limited series about the true story of Miep Gies, the Dutch woman who sheltered Anne Frank and her family during World War II and also hid the young Holocaust victim\u2019s diary from the Nazis.<\/span><\/p>\n

Schrieber will play Otto Frank, Anne\u2019s father, in the upcoming series \u201cA Small Light,\u201d which will also star Joe Cole (\u201cPeaky Blinders\u201d) and Jewish actress Bel Powley (\u201cThe Diary of a Teenage Girl\u201d) in the lead role, according to\u00a0Deadline<\/em><\/a>. The eight-episode series is being backed by ABC Signature and Israel\u2019s Keshet Studios. Work will begin on the limited series over the summer in Prague and Amsterdam.<\/span><\/p>\n

Powley will play Gies, Otto\u2019s faithful secretary who agreed to hide him and his family from the Nazis in Amsterdam. Gies and her husband Jan (played by Cole) cared for the Franks and four others as they hid for two years in a secret annex in the attic of Otto\u2019s company Opekta. The couple told no one of their efforts while living under Nazi occupation in the Netherlands, as they coped with the struggles of daily life and a new marriage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gies found Anne\u2019s diary after the Frank family was arrested by the Nazis, and kept it until she could return it to Otto after World War II. Otto was the only member of his family to survive the Holocaust.<\/span><\/p>\n

The show\u2019s title references a quotation by Miep, who said, \u201cI don\u2019t like being called a hero because no one should ever think you have to be special to help others. Even an ordinary secretary or a housewife or a teenager can turn on a small light in a dark room.\u201d She died in 2010 at the age of 100.<\/span><\/p>\n

The series\u2019 co-writers, \u201cGrey\u2019s Anatomy\u201d veterans Joan Rater and Tony Phelan, will also serve as co-executive producers and showrunners, according to\u00a0Deadline.<\/em>\u00a0Susanna Fogel will direct the pilot and other episodes, and will executive producer with Keshet Studios\u2019 Peter Traugott; Keshet International\u2019s Alon Shtruzman; and Keshet Media Group\u2019s Avi Nir.<\/span><\/p>\n
