Otto Frank had begun turning the annex of his office building into a secret hiding place even before the Nazis invaded Holland. On July 4, 1942, Anne’s sister Margot received a notice to report to a German “work camp.” Forced-labor camps were part of the Nazis’ efforts to get rid of Jewish people in Europe.
