If they didn't, Hitler would track them down and separate them from each other and put them each in a concentration camp. They would die.
Margot received a letter from the Nazi's asking for her (as they picked out random people) They had to reply otherwise the Nazis would come looking for them and take them to the concentration camps and starve them. this is why they had to go and hide in the secret annex.
Anne Frank parents had plan to move into the secret annex with was situated in the attic of Otto Frank (Anne's dad) building once Hilter raised to power. However, they moved in weeks before they had planned when Margot Frank got a call-up from Central Office for Jewish Emigration ordering her to report for relocation to a work camp. They moved into the secret annex on 6 July 1942 where they were joined a week later by the van Pels family and later in November by Fritz Pfeffer.
Anne Frank's family hiding place was discovered because an anonymous tip was given to the Nazis, most likely by a local Dutch informant. The informant revealed the location of the secret annex where the Frank family was hiding, leading to their arrest.
They had intended to go into hiding about July 16th, by which time (it was planned) the annex would be all set up and everything in order. Then Margot got her call-up notice on Sunday July 5.
They decided they had to go into hiding immediately, and did the next day, July 6th. They had to completely set up and straighten out the annex by themselves, but this took only a day or so.
Someone who shall remain nameless knew of it's existence and turned them in.
People were being paid money to turn in Jewish people and doing so could sometimes cancel out their own debts.
Anne Frank and her family went into hiding because Anne's sister, Margot, got called up to go to a concentration camp.
Anne Frank and her family went into hiding after her sister Margot received a deportation order from the Gestapo.
Because she was in hiding from the Gestapo.
It was named secret annex because an annex is a building joined to a main building, providing additional space or accommodations and it was secret.
Because Hitler was taking all the Jews to concentration, murder, and death camps. It was unsafe to be outside. Mr. Kraler and Miep offered the Franks their secret annex to hide in.
An attic on top of Mr. Franks office.
Besides the Frank family, the van Pels family (mother, father and teenage son) and a dentist named Fritz Pfeffer shared the hiding place with the Franks.

* August 4, 1944 - Their hiding place is discovered and they are arrested. * September 3, 1944 - Frank family are transported to the Auschwitz death camp in Poland. * October, 1944, Anne and Margot are transported from Auschwitz to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany. * March 1945 - Anne dies in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, from Typhus
No one knows. I mean, her family knew and Miep Giese (don't know how to spell it but it is pronounce meep geese) knew. But no one knows who ratted them out.
No one really knows for sure, someone told the Nazis about their hiding place. I think :)
i dont know who know about it
Anne Frank's hiding place was located in a concealed area behind a movable bookcase in her father's office building. The annex consisted of a few small rooms with limited space where Anne, her family, and some friends lived in hiding for over two years during World War II.
Mr. Frank included Mr. van Pels in his planning almost from the beginning.
Otto Frank may have been furious because he discovered that his family's hiding place had been discovered by the Nazis or that they were betrayed to the authorities. He also may have been furious about the injustices and atrocities being committed against Jewish people during the Holocaust.

The van Pels (in diary known as van Daans) and Mr. Pfeffer (in diary known as Mr. Dussel) were in the secret annexe with the Franks. Merry Christmas! -22redroses
