However, the July 5, 1942 early flee hide, wearing several layers of clothing and a suitcase per person. They are helped by Miep, a girl who worked in the store and knew the family, Mr. Koophuis, Eli and Vossen.

 

As family history, Margot was born in 1926 in Frankfurt am main and Ana on 12 June 1929. They emigrated to Holland in 1933 where his father was appointed director of Travies NV, signature associated with Kolen & Cia. Of Amsterdam, the same building housed at 2 companies of which his father was a shareholder and later served as a hiding Annex for the family. This cache was kind of small apartment on two floors at the top of the house. To conceal the door to the annex, they placed a revolving bookcase. Rules to live there were very strict, because they had to keep silent when workers were in the office, could not flush the toilet or open the taps until they were alone in the building, the procedure was bathing in a tub that was used in turn and in areas that everyone should choose.

 

. Along with the Frank family, composed by Mrs. and Mr. Frank, Margot and Anne, came to live the Van Daan: Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan and his son Peter.. Ana takes bad relationship with Mrs. Van Daan, who seeks to educate as well as Peter, who considered lazy and apathetic, as he is very reserved.

Shortly after Peter was the 17th birthday and a new tenant joined the annex, Albert Dussel, who was a dentist whose wife is protected abroad. When Dussel arrived at the Annex, gave a regulation of coexistence and installed it in Anne's room. This tells the life abroad, the constant hunt for Jews, the seizure of their property and abuse against them.

Sometimes Ana is deeply troubled, because she misses her life abroad, your friends are tired of the constant nagging and criticism, contempt with which the look because it is considered the atoning morning exercise and Dussel goat in the room they share, however, maintains good face. Ana calls this period tomb days: period forcing them to live in hiding in the hope that it will not be for long. It also describes the misery of war: Dutch Christian children compulsorily sent to Germany; separate Jewish families; war around the globe; children without adequate clothing asking for a piece of bread in the streets; Jews and Christians hope for the world expected, many expect death.

 

On February 27, 1943 Chruchill recovering from pneumonia, Gandhi went back into hunger strike and the owner of the building where families were staying underground is just sold without notifying them to Koophuis or Kraler. The new owner glanced at the building in the company of an architect and Koophuis noticed that he had not the key of the Annex; for now, they were safe.

 

In March 1943 bombing, machine guns and alarms were heard in the street. All were very afraid, however the evils that awaited them outside were worse than being hit by a bomb. Ana thought that Turkey would enter into alliance with the English war, but this was not so. The Fuhrer, shows pride in their broadcasts by war and wounded soldiers.

Meanwhile, Frank and Van Daan no longer endure difficult cohabitation. The Franks have given their food to Van Daan but they are greedy and selfish. The monotony starts to upset them. They have trapped providers fake ration cards and food they have to eat is very bad, based on cabbage and potatoes.

 

Ana reviews are becoming more mature time, with greater vision, understanding and wisdom. Scan your life until 1944, saw through a merciless magnifying glass. First, his house bathed in sunshine; then in Annex since 1942, the abrupt change, disputes, reprimands, and so on. She was taken by surprise, as if he had received a blow, and to comfort himself, became insolent. The first part of 1943: Crisis tears, infinite loneliness, slow realization of its shortcomings. She was alone with the difficult task of change itself, so no further prompting accusations are depressed. The second part of the year was a little better, it became young, and older began to regard it rather as one. He began to think, to write stories. After the New Year, was his desire to have a boy as a friend, not a girl. There was also the discovery of his said, under his shell made of superficiality and joy. No longer thought of the misery, but of the beauty that survive.

Children are malnourished and sabotage against the authorities there. People do not have coal and quite cold. There are a number of epidemics, but the hope is in the advancing Russians, who come to Romania. The Germans occupied Hungary and there still inhabit 1,000,000 Jews who do very badly.

 

On Tuesday 11 April 1944 Annex faced a new adventure. They again tried to rob the store to make a hole in the door below. Peter, Dussel, Van Daan and Mr. Frank went down to see what was happening and then, a couple who walked the lit. For a moment, someone came to the door-closet and tried to open it. Everyone assumed it was the police and the Gestapo discovered. Ana was ready to die for a long time and did not move and remained silent. The toilet stank because all occupied a nerve root. Finally they took the decision to call a Koophuis to notify the theft and to send someone. For 2 or 3 times they tried to open the closet door and someone fell against the door for a few hours.

Anne's father felt much regret reading this letter for its extreme hardness. Ana realizes his mistake to make similar accusations.

 

All await the arrival of the British in the Netherlands. Ana believes that this will happen when the British and the Americans they see fit, not when a group of concerned countries decide, because ultimately risking their people.

 

There is a new wave of anti-Semitism, even those that were good. Ana feels sad because she loves Holland and although has no country, wishes to Holland a beautiful country with noble people, their homeland. However, it is said that German Jewish refugees in other countries will have to return to Germany. Can not understand why the Dutch, a good people, judges the more unfortunate and perhaps, the most pitiable of the world's oppressed people. It remains confident that this wave of Dutch anti-Semitism is temporary, and after the war, they receive them as they once did.

Gerbrandy, Prime Minister of Belgium, King Haakon of Norway, De Gaulle, King of England and Chruchill make speeches that represent a new ray of hope that gives strength in the Annex to withstand the hardships a while.

 

Ana does not feel the same interest as before Peter, after having learned that he could not be the partner friend of his thoughts, has not ceased to aspire to elevate him above his limited horizon and magnify in his youth. Peter admires the strength and humor of Ana and therefore clings to it.

 

Ana feels that there are more reasons to believe that the war will end because in July 1944 was an assassination attempt against Hitler, not by Jews, Communists or English capitalists, but by a general of the German nobility, an earl, who be discovered was shot by the Fuhrer.

 

On Tuesday August 1, 1944 is the last letter of Ana Kitty, in this, do a recap of his nature; Ana believes that the Tender, has never made an appearance in the company, not once, but in solitude, his voice almost always dominates. Pure Ana points the way; externally it is only a loose goat of his rope, wild and petulant. See and feel things completely differently from the way expresses speaking, why call it alternatively volandera, flirty, pedantic and romantic. Cheerful Ana laughs at that, responds with insolence, shrugs his shoulders indifferently, claims that could not care less, but Ana Dulce reacts in the opposite way.
