The Franks and the Van Daans did not carry suitcases to their hiding place because they did not want to draw attention and suspicion. Instead they wore as many layers of clothing as possible.

No. A Jew on the street with a suitcase would have been stopped and searched immediately. They wore all the clothes they could under their coats. The food had been sent on to the annex at an earlier date.
They did not take suitcases into hiding - a Jew on the street carrying a suitcase was instantly suspect. Miep and Jan Gies carried as much of their clothing with them under their raincoats as possible, and when they left home to go to the annex, they wore many layers of clothing under their coats.
In the Annex.

They just left it. It was a Jewish home, and lots of Jews fled. Unfortuanately for the Franks, they had to leave a little too late. Anne was actually offered, before they went into hiding, to go with a relative to be kept safe. Her parents knew that was probably best for her, but they loved her too much and decided to keep the family together. The furniture inside the house was brought into the Secret Annex by workers at Otto's business, and they kept the secret. They were Jews, and they would be caught if they carried suitcases, so they had to bundle up and put on as much clothes as possible. Oh, and by the way, this is a seventh grader talking.
They were in hiding for two years and one month.
During World War II, the Franks were hiding from the Nazi regime in Amsterdam, Germany.
