Excerpt
In 1942, Anne received a book for her thirteenth birthday that she decided to use as a diary. In July of 1942, Margot Frank received a notice that ordered her to report for relocation to a work camp.

The Franks hid in the Achterhuis, which is a Dutch word that identifies the rear of a house. It was located above the Opekta offices, where Otto Frank had worked.
