Who Is Mr. Van Daan

Imagine if you were to go into hiding with people that you don’t know about and don’t know anything about their character. A Jewish girl named, Anne Frank, had to go through that experience during World War 2. Anne and her family, the Franks, were Jewish and had to go into hiding after Anne’s sister, Margot, received a letter to a concentration camp.
