During this time, Jews were forced to wear a star on their clothes so
everyone would know who they were. They were not allowed in movie theaters,
parks, swimming pools or other public places. They lost their jobs, their
stores were boycotted, books written by them were burned. They were seen
as inferior in every way. Eventually this led to the "final solution"
and the deportation of Jews to concentration camps.

NARRATOR:
To avoid being sent away, Anne's family went into hiding. In July 1942,
they moved into a hidden apartment in the back of Anne's father's business.
Anne gave it the name "the secret annex." The entrance was hidden
by a bookcase. Only seven people knew that the family was there - these
friends smuggled food and clothing to the Franks when they could.
NARRATOR:
Anne's family was joined by Mr. and Mrs. Van Pels and their fifteen-year-old
son, Peter. Soon, they were also joined by a dentist, Fritz Pfeffer.
NARRATOR:
During weekdays, when there were people in the building, they had to be
completely silent and spent much of the time creeping around. They didn't
dare to cough, laugh, or even use the bathroom. Anne described in her
diary a typical day in the life of the annex.
VOICE-OVER AS
ANNE:
The atmosphere is so oppressive, and sleepy and as heavy as lead; you
don't hear a single bird singing outside, and a deadly, sultry silence
hangs everywhere, catching hold of me as if it would drag me down deep
into an underworld… "Go outside, laugh, and take a breath of
fresh air," a voice cries within me.
