The Secret Annex meets the comfortable Holocaust Internment Camp

The Frank family, Otto, Edith, Margot, and Anne, goes into hiding to escape the atrosities of the Nazi regime.  In due time, the family expands with the Van Daan family, Putti, Petronella, and Peter, and Mr. Dussel in the Secret Annex.  Anne's Diary is the cornerstone for the understanding of hiding Jewish families in WWII.  The set is metaphoric for those hiding souls, although free, were trapped and striving for suvival.  In a way, they were in their own comfortable internment camp.
