The Frank family received a call – up notice. The family got scared as the vision of the concentration camps and the lonely calls was frightening. They decided to go into hiding as the call – up notice was for Margot and not for Otto frank. They started making preparations by sending their clothes, food and furniture to other people as they neither wanted their belongings to be seized by the Germans nor did they want to be taken into their clutches. It was a month earlier than they had planned but the decision had been taken. Anne and Margot packed the most important things in a schoolbag. No *** in such a situation would dare to leave the house with a suitcase full of belongings. They wrapped themselves in many layers of clothes as if they were going to spend a night in a refrigerator. Margot took her bike to reach the secret annexe whereas the other three members walked in the pouring rain. Miep and Jan helped them in shifting their baggage. They left the house in a mess to create an impression that they had left in a hurry.
