30. Anne Frank’s Family Lived In Hiding For Two Years
The Frank family lived in Amsterdam for many years after fleeing Nazi Germany due to fears over their anti-Semitic policies. Otto worked for a company that sold spices and fruit pectin as their agent in Amsterdam. After the initial Nazi invasion of the Netherlands, he made his business look “Aryan” by transferring financial control to gentiles. When Jewish persecution intensified in the Netherlands, he was forced to go into hiding with his family and Jewish friends.
