Anne Frank is a thirteen year old Jewish girl living in Amsterdam, Holland. Her parents give her a diary for her birthday and she writes all of her thoughts and experiences in letters to her friend, "Kitty."
CLIMAX
The Franks live in German occupied Holland during World War II. Margot is called up for deportation by the Schutzstaffel (the S.S.). The Frank family go into hiding into Mr. Frank's old workplace with the help of Dutch coworkers.
FALLING ACTION
Another Jewish runaway, Mr. Dussel, comes to stay with them. The Secret Annexe is now even more cramped.They have very limited supplies, must stay very quiet during the day, cannot go outside, and live in constant fear of discovery.
RESOLUTION
The warehouse below the Secret Annexe is broken into. Police come investigate and nearly find the entrance to their hiding place. Everyone has to stay still and silent for a long time, to avoid being found.
The Gestapo make arrests and take many people away all over the occupied countries. The green grocer down the street is arrested for hiding two Jews. The Secret Annexe receives even less food than before.
Their hiding place has been discovered! The Gestapo come to the Secret Annexe and take the Franks, the Van Daans, and Mr. Drussel away. Anne didn’t have time to write more in her diary before the Gestapo came.
