Dana Ebley, Kate Reinhardt, Michele Smith & Soyoung Lee
“I hope I will be able to confide everything to you, as I have never
been able to confide in anyone, and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support.”
“Since you’ve never been through a war, Kitty, and since you know very little about life in hiding, in
spite of my letters, let me tell you, just for fun, what we each want to
do first when we’re able to go outside again…I’d be so overjoyed I wouldn’t know where to begin”
“All’s fair in love and war”
All Jews were required to wear a yellow star turn it their bicycles do their shopping between 3 and 5 PM go to only Jewish owned Barber Shops and

matter,”

“It won’t do us or those outside any good if we continue to be as gloomy as
we are now.”
This is one of the last pictures taken of Anne and her sister before they
went into hiding

“Leave me alone, let me have at least one
night when I don’t cry myself to sleep
with my eyes burning…all day long
I hear nothing but what an
exasperating child I am”
“…it’s not easy being the badly brought-up center of attention of a
family of nitpickers.”
“…sometime I’ll treat others with the same contempt as they
treated me…sounds childish, but wait till it happens to you!”
Anne and Margot Frank in 1932
“We’ve got to be reasonable about everything we do here”
263 Prinsengracht - The Annex
The Frank family in 1940
“I have more experience than most; I have experienced something almost
no one my age ever has.”
“Up to now our bedroom, with its blank walls, was very bare.
Thanks to Father– who brought my entire postcard
and movie star collection here beforehand– and to a brush and pot of glue, I was able to plaster the wall with pictures. It looks much more cheerful.”
“Misfortunes never come singly.”
The hinged bookshelf that hid the Frank family in the Annex
“Oh, it’s hard to be strong and brave in every way”
The helpers, from left to right: Mr. Kleiman, Miep Gies, Bep Voskuijl, and Mr. Kugler.
“…many are waiting for death.”
“It’s twice as hard for us young people to hold on to our opinions at
a time when ideals are being shattered and destroyed, when the
worst side of human nature predominates, when everyone has come to doubt truth, justice and
God.”
“…we live in a paradise compared to the Jews who aren’t in hiding.”
Jews were separated in to groups of those who could work and those who could not. Those who
could not would die
“…the end is nowhere in sight. As for us, we’re
quite fortunate.”
“We were caught in a vicious circle of unpleasantness and sorrow.”

•All ways the risk of being caught•No bathtubs
•She lost her childhood and had to grow up very quickly•Food was scarce
•Constant argument •Little or no activity
•Dependent on outsiders for survival
Despite all these circumstances, the people living in the annex still tried to lead “normal” lives
“You can be lonely even when you’re loved by many people, since you are still not anybody’s ‘one and
only’”
“I…feel like a songbird whose wings have been
ripped off and who keeps hurling itself
against the bars of its dark cage”
“I long to ride a bike, dance, whistle, look at the world, feel young and know that I’m free.”
“The most you can do is pray for God to perform a miracle and save at least
some of them”
Anne and her family spent 25 months
