"Mr. Dussel" was Annes sarcastic pseudonym for Fritz Pfeffer, a dentist and jaw surgeon whom the Franks and van Pels took into hiding about four months after they "disappeared". Pfeffer was very pedantic, stubborn and impatient with young people - he and Anne were constantly at odds. That is why Anne gave him the pseudonym "Dussel", which is German slang for a "jerk".
