Who stayed in the secret annex with Anne Franks family?

Answer 1

The secret annex consisted of eight members at its full capacity. Anne Frank and her family were the first members of the secret annex. Her father, Otto Frank, her mother, Edith Frank, her sister, Margot Frank, and Anne moved in to the secret annex on 6 July, 1942. A week later, on 13 July, 1942, the van Pels family (Hermann van Pels, Auguste van Pels, and their son Peter van Pels with his cat) joined the Franks. The last member to join was Fritx Pfeffer, a unmaried dentist and acquaintance of both family, sometime in November 1942. The van Pels are known as the van Daan and Fritx Pfeffer was called Mr. Dussel in the original publication of Anne Frank's diary. All modern publications of her diary used their real names instead of their pseudonyms.

The annex was organised in a way that the Frank family and Fritx Pfeffer lives in two rooms on the first floor, the Van Pels family in two other rooms on the second floor. The space used by Hermann and Auguste van Pels also serves as the common living and dining room. The people in hiding can reach the attic via Peter's tiny bedroom. Supplies were stored in the attic.

The only member of the secret annex to survive the war was Otto Frank, who went on to publish Anne's diary. Everyone else was either gassed or died naturally in the Concentration Camps.
