The hiding place was a set of rooms or a secret annex of a factory, which now became a historical and tourist point in front of the Prinsengracht Canal in Amsterdam, behind a hidden door blocked by a sliding bookcase. During the day, Anne and her friends had to keep very quiet in order not to attract the attention of the factory workers, because that would be fatal, but during the night the group was free to carefully move around.

             Anne Frank was just a simple girl growing up and maturing while hiding from the Nazis. Unfortunately, the group was discovered and sent to concentration camps, not to ever been seen again. From the eight members of the group, only Otto Frank, Anne"s father, survived. Otto Frank eventually published Anne"s diary that was given to him by two young women that at the time worked at the office of the factory.
