Hiding in the Secret Annex for two years

This is Fritz Pfeffer. He is a friend of the Frank and Van Pels families. He must go into hiding too. He shares a room with Anne. Anne does not like this very much. The room is already very small!

Another family is looking for a safe place to live. Their names are Hermann and Auguste van Pels, and Peter, their son.

After three days in the Secret Annex, Anne continues writing in her diary. She has a lot of things to tell and writes:

‘So much has happened it’s as if the whole world has suddenly turned upside down[…].’

???Anne loves reading. She reads a lot of books in the Secret Annex. Sometimes she writes about those books in her diary.

In the autumn of 1943 Anne often feels gloomy. When will this war fi nally be over?

In the summer of 1943 Anne really starts to enjoy writing. She starts to write short stories. Sometimes she makes them up, but she also writes stories which really happened in the Secret Annex.

Otto gives Anne a hint. He says that she can copy beautiful sentences from books she has read. Anne likes this idea and starts a ‘Favourite Quotes notebook’.

Anne dies in March

1945 of typhoid

fever, an infectious

illness. Her mother

and sister also die.

Of all the people in

hiding, Otto Frank

is the only one who

survives the war.

Anne was not the only one,...There were many more Jewish children like Anne Frank. Not every one of them had a hiding place. Not everyone kept a diary. Six million people were killed in the Second World War, among them 1,5 million children.

On 5 May 1945 the German army capitulates. The Netherlands is liberated. A few months later the Second World War has fi nally come to an end. When Otto Frank returns home to Amsterdam, Miep Gies gives him Anne’s diary. Otto publishes the diary two years later.

761 days in the Secret Annex,…Anne lives in the Secret Annex for 761 days. That is more than two years! During this time she writes in her diary, her ‘Tales from the Secret Annex’ (short stories) and her ‘Favourite Quotes Notebook’. This is how we know what she went through, how she felt and what she wanted to become when she would be older.

Anne’s most precious possession is her diary. Writing is very important for her. When you must be quiet and are not allowed to go outside, writing really helps to get things o� your chest.

‘The nicest part is being able to write down all my thoughts and feelings; otherwise, I’d absolutely suffocate.’

Anne wrote this on 16 March 1944.

“My father, the most adorable

father I’ve ever seen, didn’t marry

my mother until he was thirty-six

and she was twenty-five. My sister

Margo was born in Frankfurt am

Main in Germany in 1926. I was

born on 12 June 1929”.

“I started right away at

the Montessori nursery

school. I stayed there

until I was six, at

which time I started in

the first form”.

“Our lives were not without

anxiety, since our relatives in

Germany were suffering under

Hitler‘s anti-Jewish laws”.

CRISIS In 1929, things in Germany are going badly. There is a

worldwide economic crisis. The crisis starts in the United

States, but soon spreads to other countries, effecting people

in Germany.

ADOLF HITLER,

FÜHRER OF GERMANY

Hitler and his Nazi Party come to power in 1933. They

start discriminating against the Jewish community. Hitler

and his generals also start making secret plans for war,

because Hitler wants to expand Germany.

HITLER’S RACIAL

LAWSHitler’s government starts introducing racial laws. According

to the Nazis, ethnic Germans (Hitler calls them Aryan) belong

to a type of super race. New laws based on this idea are put

into place. There is no place in Nazi Germany for Jews, Roma

and Sinti, blacks, gays, Slavs or anyone with a disability.

Many Germans are out of work

and live in poverty. In addition,

Germany has debts from the

First World War (1914-1918).

Because Germany has lost the

war it is forced to pay a lot of

money to the victors of the war

and has lost part of its territory.

Adolph Hitler and his National Socialist

German Workers’ Party (NSDAP) are anti-

Semitic. They hate the Jews and blame

them for all of Germany’s problems. Those

that join Hitler’s party are called Nazis.

Although the Franks feel safe in

Amsterdam, they worry about

what might happen to their

relatives in Germany.

Anne’s parents, Otto and Edith Frank, decide to leave

Germany. They no longer feel safe there because of

the Nazis. In addition, things aren’t going so well for

the Frank family bank, where Otto works. Otto Frank

becomes the director of Opekta in Amsterdam.

Holland in December, and I followed

in February, where I was plonked

down on the table as a birthday

present for Margot”.

Otto’s company sells a preparation

called Opekta, which is used in making

homemade jam.

Those are happy years for

Anne and Margo. They adore

their father, who can tell the

best stories. “Papa with his

offspring” is the caption Anne

later gives this picture in

her album.

The streets are full of Hitler

posters. He wants people to

INTO HIDING

Many Jews attempt to escape the Nazis by going into

HIDING. But this is not as easy at it sounds. This family

uses an underground shelter as a hiding place.

THE DUTCH FAMINE

1943

1944

1942

Liberation arrives too late for the Frank family. The people in

hiding are betrayed. Nobody knows who betrayed them. The

eight people in hiding are arrested on August 4, 1944 and taken

to prison. Anne’s diary is left behind in the Annex.

Within a week, the three members of the Van Pels family join

the Franks in the Annex.

In November, Fritz Pfeffer is the eighth member to join the group

in hiding. He is a Jewish acquaintance of the two families.

Hitler and the Nazis secretly decide to kill all

the Jews in Europe. They build extermination

camps, a type of concentration camp that has been

specially designed to kill people efficiently. Jews are

transported to these camps by train. None of them

know what fate awaits them.

In the winter of 1944-1945,

twenty-thousand people

die of starvation and

cold in the Netherlands.

Conditions are at their

worst in big cities, where

there is almost no food left.

The Secret Annex inhabitants are aided by Miep Gies, Bep

Voskuijl, Victor Kugler and Johannes Kleiman. They are the

only company employees to know that the Franks are in hiding.

In addition, Miep’s husband Jan Gies and Bep’s father Johan

Voskuijl know about the Secret Annex inhabitants.

“Not being able to go outside

upsets me more than I can say,

and I‘m terrified our hiding place

will be discovered and that we’ll

be shot. That, of course, is a

fairly dismal prospect”.

“Is this really the beginning of

the… liberation? The liberation

we‘ve all talked so much about,

which still seems too good,

too much of a fairy tale ever to

come true? Will this year, 1944,

bring us victory?”

“Hiding…where would we

hide? ...When, where, how…?

... Preoccupied by the thought

of going into hiding, I stuck the

craziest things in the satchel, but

I‘m not sorry. Memories mean

more to me than dresses”.

Bep Voskuijl’s father constructs a

special movable bookcase in order to

hide the entrance to the Annex.

Otto used this map to keep track of the advance of the Allied Forces in France.

how much their daughters have grown

during the period they were in hiding

while in the Annex. Over the course of

two years, Anne grows around thirteen

centimetres and Margot around five.

The people in hiding are taken by train

to the Dutch transit camp Westerbork.

3 September 1944

The Secret Annex inhabitants are placed

on the last transport to concentration

and extermination camp Auschwitz in

occupied Poland. Otto is separated from

Edith, Margot and Anne.

1 October 1944

Anne and Margot Frank are transferred to

Bergen-Belsen, another camp in Germany.

Otto and Edith are kept at Auschwitz.

Otto Frank is the only former resident of the Annex to survive the war.

On the long journey from Auschwitz back to Amsterdam, he finds

out that his wife and children are dead. Miep Gies gives him Anne’s

diary, which she found after the family’s arrest and had kept all that

time. Otto decides to publish the diary.

In 1947, Contact

Publishing Company

publishes Anne’s diary

as “The Annex”, a title

that Anne had thought

of herself.

“…will I ever become a journalist

or writer? I hope so, oh, I hope so

very much, because writing allows

me to record everything, all my

thoughts, ideals and fantasies”.

Mad Tuesday. The Allied Forces are

advancing towards the Netherlands.

Celebrations break out everywhere – but

the Dutch rejoice too soon. The liberation

doesn’t end up going as swiftly as

expected. Despite high hopes, most of

the Netherlands remains under German

occupation for months and the day

comes to be known as ‘Mad Tuesday’.

The southern part of the Netherlands is

liberated a few weeks later, but a severe

winter awaits the north.

THE NIGHT OF

BROKEN GLASS

In Germany, the Nazis strike out violently against the Jewish

population. On the night of 9 November 1938, they loot Jewish

shops and destroy synagogues. The night would come to be

known as Kristallnacht or the Night of Broken Glass. In the days

that follow, the Nazis round up 30,000 Jewish men and transport

them to concentration camps.

ANTI-JEWISH

LAWSIn 1942 Jews are not allowed to enter public places

such as swimming pools.

THE YELLOW STAR

As of May 1942, all Jews in the Netherlands above the

age of 6 are required to wear a yellow Star of David with

the word “Jew” on their clothing. This allowed the Nazis

to quickly identify who was Jewish and who was not.

Otto tells Johannes Kleiman and Victor

also later confides in his secretaries Miep

for help, Miep Gies immediately answers

by saying “Of course”, even though she is

Germany invades Poland. England and

start of the Second World War in Europe.

Hitler promises not to invade the

Netherlands, but many people, especially

Holland’s Jewish population, fear he will

not keep his word.

10 May 1940

The German army invades Holland, despite

Hitler’s promise. After five days of fighting,

the Germans bomb Rotterdam and the Dutch

army surrenders.

25 February 1941

The February Strike: In February, the Nazis

round up 427 Jewish men and transport

them to concentration camps. Many people

in Amsterdam strike in order to protest

against the Nazis’ actions. The Nazis strike

the protesters down with extreme violence.“After the pogroms in 1938, my two

uncles (my mother’s brothers) fled

Germany, finding safe refuge in North

America. My elderly grandmother

came to live with us”.

“Our freedom was severely restricted

by a series of anti-Jewish decrees:

Jews were required to wear a yellow

star; Jews were required to turn in

their bicycles; Jews were forbidden

to use trams; […]

“I was stunned. A call-up:

everyone knows what that

means. Visions of concentration

camps and lonely cells raced

through my head”.

Holland’s Jewish population, fear he will

not keep his word.

10 May 1940

The German army invades Holland, despite

Hitler’s promise. After five days of fighting,

the Germans bomb Rotterdam and the Dutch

army surrenders.

25 February 1941

The February Strike: In February, the Nazis

round up 427 Jewish men and transport

them to concentration camps. Many people

in Amsterdam strike in order to protest

against the Nazis’ actions. The Nazis strike

the protesters down with extreme violence.“After the pogroms in 1938, my two

uncles (my mother’s brothers) fled

Germany, finding safe refuge in North

America. My elderly grandmother

came to live with us”.

“Our freedom was severely restricted

by a series of anti-Jewish decrees:

Jews were required to wear a yellow

star; Jews were required to turn in

their bicycles; Jews were forbidden

to use trams; […]

“I was stunned. A call-up:

everyone knows what that

means. Visions of concentration

camps and lonely cells raced

through my head”.

5 July1942

Margot receives a call-up notice from

the SS. She has to go to a labour camp

in Nazi Germany. Her parents decide to

go into hiding.

German soldiers enter a devastated Rotterdam. In Amsterdam Jewish men are rounded up and sent

eastwards. Nobody knows what is going to happen with

them. During a ‘ROUND-UP’, a street or quarter is closed

off and houses are ransacked one by one.

“My father, the most adorable

father I’ve ever seen, didn’t marry

my mother until he was thirty-six

and she was twenty-five. My sister

Margo was born in Frankfurt am

Main in Germany in 1926. I was

born on 12 June 1929”.

“I started right away at

the Montessori nursery

school. I stayed there

until I was six, at

which time I started in

the first form”.

“Our lives were not without

anxiety, since our relatives in

Germany were suffering under

Hitler‘s anti-Jewish laws”.

attend synagogue and celebrate Jewish

holidays together.

CRISIS In 1929, things in Germany are going badly. There is a

worldwide economic crisis. The crisis starts in the United

States, but soon spreads to other countries, effecting people

in Germany.

ADOLF HITLER,

FÜHRER OF GERMANY

Hitler and his Nazi Party come to power in 1933. They

start discriminating against the Jewish community. Hitler

and his generals also start making secret plans for war,

because Hitler wants to expand Germany.

HITLER’S RACIAL

LAWSHitler’s government starts introducing racial laws. According

to the Nazis, ethnic Germans (Hitler calls them Aryan) belong

to a type of super race. New laws based on this idea are put

into place. There is no place in Nazi Germany for Jews, Roma

and Sinti, blacks, gays, Slavs or anyone with a disability.

Many Germans are out of work

and live in poverty. In addition,

Germany has debts from the

First World War (1914-1918).

Because Germany has lost the

war it is forced to pay a lot of

money to the victors of the war

and has lost part of its territory.

Adolph Hitler and his National Socialist

German Workers’ Party (NSDAP) are anti-

Semitic. They hate the Jews and blame

them for all of Germany’s problems. Those

that join Hitler’s party are called Nazis.

Although the Franks feel safe in

Amsterdam, they worry about

what might happen to their

relatives in Germany.

Anne’s parents, Otto and Edith Frank, decide to leave

Germany. They no longer feel safe there because of

the Nazis. In addition, things aren’t going so well for

the Frank family bank, where Otto works. Otto Frank

becomes the director of Opekta in Amsterdam.

This boy’s name is Hans Massaquoi.

He lived in Nazi Germany. One day,

a teacher told him “Once we’ve

finished with the Jews, it’s your turn”.

Anne and her friends Eva Goldberg and

Sanne Ledermann play on Merwedeplein,

in Amsterdam.

Children playing with money that has lost all its value.

Anne quickly masters Dutch. There are also other German-Jewish

children in her class.

“I lived in Frankfurt until I was four.

Because we‘re Jewish, my father

emigrated to Holland in 1933, when

he became the Managing Director

of the Dutch Opekta Company,

which manufactures products used

in making jam…Margot went to

Holland in December, and I followed

in February, where I was plonked

down on the table as a birthday

present for Margot”.

Otto’s company sells a preparation

called Opekta, which is used in making

homemade jam.

Those are happy years for

Anne and Margo. They adore

their father, who can tell the

best stories. “Papa with his

offspring” is the caption Anne

later gives this picture in

her album.

1929

The streets are full of Hitler

posters. He wants people to

believe that he can solve the

country’s problems.

As school lets out the children use the ‘Hitler salute’ to

say good-bye to their teacher and the school director.

THE NIGHT OF

BROKEN GLASS

In Germany, the Nazis strike out violently against the Jewish

population. On the night of 9 November 1938, they loot Jewish

shops and destroy synagogues. The night would come to be

known as Kristallnacht or the Night of Broken Glass. In the days

that follow, the Nazis round up 30,000 Jewish men and transport

them to concentration camps.
