In the middle is 1942 in Holland. All of them are in the attic. While Anne lived in the attic she had nightmares that the Nazis will capture her.They were there because they were hiding from the Nazis which were controlling Europe and wanted to exterminate all Jews. The Van Daans, Franks and Dussel were all Jews. Dussel was moving in with the rest of them when Mr.Kraler brought him because he had nowhere to stay. Dussel had move in with Anne in her room because they didn't want him to stay with Margot who was Anne's older sister. Mr. and Mrs.Frank were afraid Dussel would harass Margot since she was older. Everybody who lived in the attic were mad because their food was scarce and they had one more mouth to feed. Everybody spent Hanukkah in the attic. Anne gave everybody a gift, they also had a menorah and had a feast. One day when every body was relaxing a thief when in and robbed a radio which they used to here what was going on, the thief also stole money, but before the thief left Peter Van Daan fell of a chair and made a loud noise which scared the thief away. Everybody who lived in the attic was scared ,because the thief might get caught and he will snitch to the Gestapo that there are people hiding there. Later on Mr.Kraler gets blackmailed by the owner of the store in which they are hiding. The person who blackmailed him was Karl. The threat to Mr.Kraler was that if he didn't give Karl 20 guilders every week he would snitch on them. Then Mr.Kraler found out that the blackmail wasn't real and Karl knew nothing.
