Anne Frank age 14 inside the hiding place.

        The Franks herd about how the Germans were destroying the Jew population. The Germans were completely trying to wipe out the Jewish population. Call-ups were sent all over saying that the one it was for must go to "work" in camps. Refusing to go is sending you to a prison camp and getting your whole family arrested. On July 5, 1942 Margot receives  a call-up, they want her to go to work but to be truthful they want to take her to a death camp. The Frank family knows that if Margot does not go to the camp, that the whole family will be arrested and taken to the camp to either work to death or put in a gas chamber. The neighboring countries of the Netherlands are also occupied so it is almost impossible to flee the Netherlands. Mr. Frank told Anne what they were going to do and where they were going to stay. They were going to stay at 263 Prinsengracht behind Otto's office. Jews had to find non-Jew families to help them hide Anne's parents found a annex to hide in at the top of Mr. Frank's business with non-Jew friends to help them run the business and keep them alive.

       Anne's parents try to protect her from the dangers of the Germans by them hiding the family in the annex away from all Germans, except the friends running the business. The escalating anti-Semitism in 1938 caused the Van Pels to flee from Germany in search of a better life and soon after lived with the Franks in the hiding place. Anne said that she had to squeeze into two vests, three pairs of pants, a shirt, a jacket, a summer coat, two pairs of stalkings, lace-up shoes, a wooly cap, and a scarf before leaving because it would look suspicious if they took suitcases out with them. The Frank family moves into the annex and feels safe and free until the German Army invades the Netherlands on the 10th of May in 1940. On the 15th of the same month is when the discrimination begins. Anne was 14 years old when they went into hiding from the first time she saw the secret annex and she acted as it was an adventure from the start. Fritz Pfeffe  and the Van Pels family eventually moved into the hiding place with the Franks.

          Anne wrote down every little (and big) thing that happened, in her diary. The family that later joined the Franks was sharing the business with them. The Van Pels was a family of three a mother a father and a son named Peter. Anne Frank's family was in the annex for 2 years and on August 4, 1944 Germans found the annex and took all who lived in it to the camp. Anne Frank died of typhus at the camp age of 15 on the 12th of March, 1945 she died at Bergan Delson camp. Mr. Frank survived the camps when he returned he went back and a lady who had helped them hide found Anne's diary and gave it to Mr. Frank. Reading and studying helped pass the time of the two years they lived in the annex. Writing stories helped Anne show her feelings most of the storys were wrote in her diary. When Mr. Frank read his daughters diary he noticed that when ever she wrote she always started with ''Dear Kitty". Now all through out the world people can read the wonderful writings of Anne Frank in "The Diary of Anne Frank".
