The Franks and people they knew went into hiding because Margot received her orders to go to a work camp. In order to prevent their deportation, the Franks had pre-established a hiding place with Miep. They hid in an Attic behind a book case. The Franks lived in Amsterdam.
The Nazi party was collecting the Jews for deportation to Ghettos and concentration camps. The Franks knew there was eminent danger ahead for their children. Initially, the Jewish stores and businesses were closed. Then homes were ransacked and families started to be rounded up. The rights of the Jewish people were being striped away and their lives were in danger.
I had the chance to go through the Anne Frank house while I was in Amsterdam. I was actually surprised how large the area they had stayed in actually was. However, I had to remember that they could not move around in the daytime, and there were quite a few people. The pictures of the magazine movie stars are still stuck on the walls were they had put them. The house is located in a row of houses overlooking the river.
