Answer:
According to Gies, the motivation was simply the fact that she wanted to help and she would have felt regret, if she let innocent people die.
Explanation:
Till the end of her life, Gies, never considered herself a hero. She explained that it was human nature to help someone and clearly stated, that by calling her actions 'brave' or 'heroic' would put on her on a pedestal, and demotivate other people to act out kindly when needed.
