Anne Frank didn't "find" the Annex-they already had it. The Annex area belonged to her dad, and it was attached to his company, Opetka. Mr. Frank was preparing the Annex months before they actually had to use it. He planned on going into hiding on July 16th, 1942, but Margot received a labor camp letter so they left on July 6, 1942.

the family was betrayed by a person. Nobody knows who betrayed them though.
