The isolation of Annelies Marie Frank, known better as the name Anne Frank (1929-1945) began in 1942 when she and her family went into the secret room in their house. And this story is a very well known part of the history. Anne Frank is the most well-known teenager in the world, because of her diary, what was published after her death in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp and end of the World War II. There are still speculations about the person, who gave information about the hiding place of the Frank family, and the officer, who was responsible for arresting is claimed to be named Grünewald, but this thing is pure speculation.
The diary and story of that girl are so well-known that I there is a link to Wikipedia page after this text, and you can read those things and details by yourself. But there are some details, what seems to be crazy, and one question is, how the Frank family got the D-vitamin because that vitamin is forming in the skin by the sunlight. The loss of that vitamin is causing many diseases, and if the person doesn't get enough sunlight would that cause very tricky syndromes.
Another thing, what made that family very remarkable was their name. Name Frank was also the name of Hitler's lawyer SS-General Hans Frank, who was leader of the concentration camps. And another SS-General in office was the successor of Reinhard Heydrich, the Gauleiter of Bohemia Karl Hermann Frank. So the family of Anne Frank might believe, that the name Frank was protected them by German police and SS-troops. But there is still one thing, what was very interesting about this case. How the family of Anne Frank could make their secret room?
If they got help, how they could trust them. If those workers were members of the Dutch resistance, those persons would be expected, that Frank family would make something for the resistance. And this is a very interesting thing. So when we are thinking about those informers, they might be broken by Gestapo, if they were arrested in similar actions, and another thing is unclear. How the building merchandise was transferred in the house of Frank when Nazis were looking at that building.
That kind of building site would be looking very interesting in the eyes of Gestapo, what was observing every private-owned house in Amsterdam because they were suspected as the hiding places of political resistance. And also those houses could be taken in hands of Nazi officials, who needed places to work and live. So how family Frank could be sure, that there would not be SS-general, who took the house in the hand, while family Frank was hiding in there. And the final question is, how the friends of that family could transfer food in that room? If somebody caught by that thing, would the travel go in hands of Gestapo, and the torture, what that police used was very brutal, and it broke many people, who told everything because of pain. And that made the bringing food very risky.
