Why did Otto Frank and his family go into hiding?

Answer 1

Anne's older sister, Margot, received a postcard ordering her to report to a work camp. To save Margot, Mr. Frank decided that the family should go into hiding immediately, instead of waiting another few weeks as originally planned.

Answer 2

Otto Frank and his family were Jewish. At the time that the Frank family went into hiding, the Nazis were gathering up all the Jews and sending them off to concentration camps or work camps. Anne, Otto's daughter, had received a notice that she was to report to a work camp. Rather than see his daughter, and probably the rest of his family as well, go into work camps, Otto chose to go into hiding to protect his family.

Answer 3

Otto Frank and his family went into hiding during World War II to escape persecution by the Nazis due to being Jewish. They feared for their safety and ultimately sought refuge to avoid being sent to concentration camps.
