Anne Frank's Hidden Belongings
A small bag for hiding
In the month after June 1942, Anne Frank, her parents and her sister Margot went into hiding in a secret annexe in Amsterdam. The family had to leave quickly and could not carry many possessions. They walked to the hiding place rather than drawing attention by travelling with luggage. Anne wore several layers of clothing and took a few things she valued, including her diary. The annexe was behind the offices of Otto Frank, Anne’s father. A small group of trusted helpers brought food and other necessities. The people in hiding had to stay quiet during the working day, when staff were in the building below. There was little privacy and everyday life was difficult. Anne’s diary was more than a possession. It gave her somewhere to write about her thoughts, fears and hopes. She also enjoyed reading and writing. In the annexe, she continued to record events and worked on improving her writing. Her words later helped readers understand what life in hiding was like. A treasured object cannot make a difficult situation safe or easy. But a familiar book, photograph or personal keepsake can offer comfort, help someone remember people and places, or give them a way to express themselves. Anne’s diary mattered because it was both personal and useful: it held her private thoughts, and writing helped her make sense of a frightening time.
