July Marks Somber Anniversary for Frank Family
On July 5, 1942, Anne's sister Margot received a call-up notice to report to Germany. Otto Frank knew he had to relocate his family quickly. On July 6, 1942, Otto, Edith, Margot and Anne took up residence in the attic of the building where Otto's company operated. One week later, the Franks were joined by three members of the van Pels family and then eventually by Fritz Pfeffer in November. Anne documented this difficult time in her diary.
Eight people lived in the attic of this building in Amsterdam for two years sustained by the efforts of friends and employees of Otto Frank.
As we reflect today on the Frank family and the start of their lives in the Secret Annex, we are moved by the numerous entries Anne made in her diary about her living situation. She documented her hopes and fears during her time in hiding. Her powerful words continue to inspire future generations.
Next week, we will mark another chilling anniversary. On August 4, 1944, after more than two years in hiding, the occupants of the Secret Annex were discovered and arrested.
Help us ensure that the memory of Anne Frank will be honored for generations to come.
