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[…].’

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

while in the Annex. Over the course of
two years, Anne grows around thirteen
centimetres and Margot around five.

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.

also later confides in his secretaries Miep

for help, Miep Gies immediately answers
by saying “Of course”, even though she is
putting herself in grave danger by doing

are caught assisting Jews.

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”.

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.

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.
