ANNE FRANK

Anne and the others are frightened by the bombs.... the fact that they cannot leave the annex increases their anxiety.

The house shook and the bombs kept falling. I was clutching my "escape bag," more because I wanted to have something to hold on to than because I wanted to run away. I know we can't leave here, but if we had to, being seen on the streets would be just as dangerous as getting caught in an air raid.
