Like every good author, Anne Frank changed the names of her characters to hide their identities. If her diary was ever published she did not want them to be embarrassed by the things she wrote.

Anne Frank lived with the Van Daans or the Van Pels?

Anne Frank did in fact live with the Van Pels, but used the name Van Daan in her diary. This may have been to protect their identity, we are unsure, but also we have to remember that Anne died before the diary was published, so the editors may have changed the name to protect their identity.catina03@live.com
