Answer 1

Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl is the published version of a diary kept by a young Jewish girl who was forced to go into hiding during the Holocaust in order to escape persecution.  Anne Frank hid with her family in the annex of her father's office building.  Also staying with them was the van Pels family and Fritz Pfeffer.  

From the moment they go into hiding, the Frank and Van Pels' families - and later Fritz Pfeffer - are completely dependent on the fourhelpers. After July 6, 1942, the lives of Miep Gies , Victor Kugler , Johannes Kleiman and Bep Voskuijl are almost completely dominated by the inhabitants of the Secret Annex .
