A- Amsterdam

The Frank family originally lived in Germany. Because of the war they had to go into hiding in Amsterdam. The Frank and Van Daan families lived in a secret annex above a warehouse. The entrance to this secret annex was behind a bookshelf. To get into the secret annex you would need to use a key then move the bookshelf. The two families living there hardly ever left the annex.

C- Close Quarters

The two families in the annex did not have much room. Although their hiding spot is considered large for others, it was very small for them and they were almost always on top of each other. This started many quarrels between the two

He is a dentist and had to check up on each of his patients. This made him late to the annex. Throughout the book, Anne is upset with Dussel. She says that every morning he wakes up early and does his elaborate stretches, which are very loud and wake up Anne. Dussel is also said to get angry with Anne for making the smallest of noises.

F- Found

On August 4, 1944, the annex members were found. The only actual evidence that we have is that the Grune Polizei made a raid on the annex. Many people have their own theories on how they were found. One very popular theory is that the phone rang and Peter picked it up. This resulted in the Nazis knowing that someone was hidden above the warehouse. Others think that they were discovered by accident.

H- Hitler

Hitler was a German politician who lead the Nazi Party. He is responsible for over six million deaths across Europe. He mainly targeted Jewish people, such as the Frank family. He wanted a perfect society. To do this he believed that he had to exterminate all Jews, handicapped, and Gypsies. He targeted Jews because he believed that they were responsible for the assassination of a German leader.

The way the Jews were being treated in the Netherlands was becoming very similar to the Jews harsh treatment when in Germany. This meant that darkness was near, deportation and death was coming soon. With the knowledge of knowing what was next the Franks began to organize a plan to go into hiding shortly before Anne’s 13th birthday. One day in July of 1942 Margot received a letter informing her that she was going to have to prepare to go to a workers camp. This changed the Franks plans immediately and caused them to go into hiding the very next few days. Their hiding place in which Anne called the secret Annex in her diary was located in the upper-back portion of Otto Frank’s business at 263 Prinsengracht. About a weeks time after the Franks got situated into their new hiding area, they were soon joined by another family named the van Pels also known as the van Daans in Anne’s published diary. “Last to arrive of the eight people that were to hide in the Secret Annex was the dentist Friedrich “Fritz” Pfeffer also known as (Albert Dussel in the diary)on November 16, 1942.” ()Anne’s Diary describes and talks about the differences between the seven other people and their difficulties within their living situation. Throughout the pages the ink in the diary words of fears, worries, questions, hopes and a young lady attempting to find herself regardless of what she had to face…

    Some of these rules included not going outside or even looking out the windows. From 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. everyone hiding in the Annex were completely silent. They removed their shoes to ensure that no workers below them could hear their footsteps. Since there were workers below them during the day, they only flushed the toilet and burned trash at night, after the workers went home. It was their top priority to remain undiscovered, so everyone remained cautious and froze every time a car drove by or stopped. The group was well aware of the dangers of being discovered by the…
