She even wishes to be in the Secret Annex as it keeps her and her family safe rather than the dangerous, streets below. Anne attempts to make the Annex appear like home. “I try to decorate the walls… making it seem like home, just like in Frankfurt” (Frank 215).

Anne’s impressions of publishing a biographical novel on her experiences she survived in the Secret Annex when the war was over. “I can not imagine having to live like Mother, Mrs.Van Pels, and all the women who go about their work and are then forgotten.
