why did anne frank and her family hide
Anne receives a diary for her thirteenth birthday. Anne's beloved diary, which was saved from the Secret Annex by helper Miep Gies and returned to Anne's father Otto after the war. Margot Frank receives a call-up notice from the Nazis to return to Germany to work in a labour camp. The next day, the Frank family go into hiding in the Secret Annex above Otto's offices. They are joined by the Van Pels family one week later (Anne gave the Van Pels family the pseudonym Van Daan in her diary).
