what quote did anne say when she had conflict with mrs. van daan

And these eight Jews together, behind drawn curtains, in not too desperate physical circumstances (loyal Dutch friends kept them supplied with food), but under a mounting tension of monotony, anxiety, and all too human daily irritation, lived as one large family.įrom her journal, which she named “Kitty,” electing it the intimate friend of her adolescence, Anne concealed none of her thoughts, and we have what is certainly one of literature’s great immediate records of that stormy time of a young girl’s life. Anne relates how here also came the family of Van Daan-father, mother, and son Peter-and the dentist Dussel. Again Otto Frank acted prudently, this time fleeing with his family to a cleverly prepared hideout, the so-called “secret annex,” in the rear upper floors of his office building. The early entries of the diary tell how Anne’s father, Otto Frank, had prudently fled Germany for Holland with his wife and two little girls as early as 1933, and, having resumed his successful business, was comfortably enough settled in his Amsterdam home when the lengthening arm of the Gestapo reached there. Editorial Note: Here we conclude the diary of Anne Frank, which we began in our last month’s issue.
