Anne Frank’s life was impacted when she had to go into hiding after her sister, Margot, was called up to go to a concentration camp. Anne Frank went into hiding in the attic/annex where her father worked. They hid in the annex of that building. Anne Frank and everyone else in hiding with her had to be as quiet as possible not to be discovered.
Anne Frank was happy, yet sad thinking of her life before the Germans invaded Amsterdam. She missed when she could play with her friends and learn at school. Anne Frank fancied one particular boy, Peter Van Daan, who was also in hiding with her. Anne Frank and her mom didn’t get along, but she loved her
“dearest” Pim/father.
Anne Frank and the other people in hiding with her received food from Miep, a office member that worked with her father. Near the end of Anne Frank’s life breakins had occurred in the office. Anne Frank the Gestapo were looking for them. One night the Gestapo found the people in hiding because someone in the office told on them. Anne Frank later died from typhus along with her sister and her mother. Anne Frank’s father survived.
