Hannah Elisabeth Goslar was born in Berlin-Tiergarten, on 12 November 1928, the
eldest child of Hans Goslar and Ruth Judith Klee. Her father was deputy minister for
domestic affairs, and the ministry's chief of public relations (Leiter der Pressestelle) in
Germany until 1933, and her mother was a teacher. Both of her parents were observant
Jews.
In 1933, after the election of Hitler and the Nazi Party to the Reichstag and Hitler's
appointment as Chancellor, Hans Goslar was forced to resign his governmental job.
After an abortive attempt to move to England, where he could not find work that would
allow him to stay home on the Shabbat, the Goslars moved to Amsterdam, Netherlands,
in 1933.
The Goslar family lived close to the Frank family, and she met Anne when both girls
went shopping for groceries with their mothers in 1934 Both girls attended the 6th
Montessori School and became best friends, Hannah being called Hanneli by Anne.
Later, they attended the Amsterdam Jewish [Link] were also close friends with
Susanne "Sanne" Ledermann, who lived in the same area but attended a different school,
and later with Ilse Wagner and Jacqueline van Maarsen.

SECRET ANNEX
2) Address-The exact address is Prinsengracht 263.
Members-The secret app had a secret role because during World War II the Jews needed
serious protection from the Nazis. And for 2 families, the Secret App became a means of
survival. Because if the Nazis knew where the Jews lived, they would come and take
them to a special area, where they would either kill them or treat them worse.
Otto Frank. Anna's father and the only surviving member of the family after the war.
Edith Frank. Anna's mother.
Margot Frank. Anna's older sister.

Later, another person joined the two families while hiding.
Mr. Dussel
Mr. Dussel in Anna's diary, he was a dentist and the eighth and final resident of the secret
annex. He shared a room with Anna.
These eight people lived in hiding in the secret annex from July 1942 until their
discovery and arrest in August 1944.
Relationships-During World War II, the residents of the secret annex had a complicated
and difficult relationship due to the confined and stressful living conditions
The Frank family.
Otto Frank. As the head of the Frank family, He was respected by the other inhabitants of
the annex. After the war, he was the only member of the Frank family to survive.
Edith Frank. Anna's mother, Edith, was known to have a strained relationship with Anna.
Also, relations with Mrs. Van Daan were strained.
Margot Frank. Anna's older sister, Margot, was quieter and more reserved than Anna.
The two sisters had their differences, but also shared moments of camaraderie.
Van Pels (Van Daans) family.
Mr. Van Daan had a business relationship with Otto Frank before they went into hiding.
The dynamic between him and the others, particularly Otto, was sometimes strained by
the challenges of limited space and resource sharing.
Mrs. Van Daan had conflicts with Anna, and their relationship was marked by tension.
Peter, Van Daan's teenage son, has developed a close relationship with Anna over time.
They were in love.
Mr. Dussel, the dentist, was in the room with Anna. Their relationship was rocky from
the start because of intimates and personality differences. However, over time, they
found ways to coexist, and Anne even grew to love him.
Living in such close quarters, the residents of the secret annex faced the challenges of
incarceration, the constant threat of discovery, and the difficulties of getting along with
each other.
3) Holland was occupied during World War II. German forces invaded Holland on 10
May 1940. Soon Germans began to rule Holland. The aim of Germany was to capture
France. They wanted to line, which will be with Holland and Belgium. Like that they can
capture France and also England can’t interfere them. This war was bad for Jewish
people. Germans’ government was Nazi Germany. During this war 6 million Jewish
people were killed by Germans. Only in Holland 73% Jewish were killed.
Anna Frank told us that they have rules and must keep them or they will bill be killed.
Those are that rules
v Jewish must wear yellow stars
v Jewish must hand in their bicycles
v Jewish can’t go cinema, theatre, tennis club or swimming pool
v Jewish must be at their place after 8pm
v Jewish must go only Jewish school
v Jewish can’t speak in German
v Jewish may not visit Christians.
Germans destroyed Jewishs’ home like that. Jewish had no meals. Live during ww2 for
Jewish was terrible.
Anne’s complex legacy
4) The book gave a child’s face to the incomprehensible truths
of the Holocaust. In part because it became required reading at
many schools, it often constituted what the U.S. Holocaust
Museum and Memorial calls “the first, and sometimes only,
exposure many people have to the history of the Holocaust.”
But its popularity, and durability, masked many of the
Holocaust’s harsh realities. The diary ends before the family’s
arrest, sparing readers most of the details of what happened to
Anne after her capture. The Franks also had more space,
stability, and support than most of the 28,000 Dutch Jews who
went into hiding during the war. And her words are often
misquoted or taken out of context.
Protecting Anne’s legacy
Anne’s diary helped the world learn about the horrors of the
Nazi genocide of European Jews. But it also put heavy symbolic
weight on the shoulders of a murdered 15-year-old who could no
longer speak for herself.
“Few other writers have given rise to such intense emotion,
such fierce possessiveness, so many arguments about who is
entitled to speak in her name, and about what her book does,
and doesn’t represent,” writes author Francine Prose.
Those battles have played out in controversies over the
authenticity and legitimacy of the work itself. Despite multiple
comprehensive forensic investigations that have proven Anne
Frank wrote the diary, false claims that it is a forgery continue
to fuel Holocaust denial. There have also been tussles over who
owns Anne’s legacy—including legal battles between the Anne
Frank House in Amsterdam, which preserves the secret annex
site as a museum, and the Anne Frank Fonds, a foundation set
up by Otto Frank that owns the rights to the text.
