Anne Frank and her family went into hiding because they did not want to be caught, tortured and then killed by the Nazis who were occupying their country (Holland). Adolf Hitler, leader of the Nazi party, hated Jews and so wanted them wiped out.
July 5 1942
She was hiding with her older sister Margot, her father and mother, another family called the Van Peels ( or in her diary the Van Daans) with their son Peter, and a dentist who joined them about a year after they all went on hiding.
No. Otto Frank outlived his family in the concentration camps. He returned to his business and their attic hiding place. He discovered the diary Anne Frank wrote and had it published. It is one of the number one best sellers year after year.

In Act II of The Diary of Anne Frank, the people had been hiding for about one year and a month. They were in hiding for a total of two years during World War II.
Anne and her family moved into the 'Secret Annexe" on the morning of Monday, 6 July 1942. On 13 July 1942, Hermann van Pels, Auguste van Pels and 16-year-old Peter joined the family in hiding. Fritz Pfeffer was the last member to join them in November. All eight of them lived there until August 4th, when they were discovered by the Nazis.
They left in 1933.
During Anne Frank's childhood, the Frank family moved from Germany to Amsterdam. This was on 1933, the year the Nazis gained control over Germany.
After Anne Frank's hiding her father went back up to the annex to make sure he got everything out that was theirs. He had decided that he was going to leave Amsterdam even though he had lived their his whole life, due to the memories. As he was walking through Anne and Margots room, he found Anne's diary.
Anne "graduated" the American equivalent of eighth grade the summer before her family went into hiding. She had one year of high school at the Jewish Lyceum, and during the summer after that, her family went into hiding.She and Margot had lessons every day in the annex to keep up to their grade level in school.
