Final answer:

Anne Frank was not happy when she was sent to a concentration camp. However, she expressed fear and sadness. Her experience in the camps drastically contrasted with the relative safety she experienced in the secret annex.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question seems to be based on a common misconception about Anne Frank's experiences during World War II. It would be incorrect to suggest that Anne Frank was happy when she left the secret annex and was sent to a concentration camp. In fact, her diary entries reflect fear, despair, and sadness at being captured and sent to a concentration camp.

Anne and her family hid in the annex in Amsterdam for two years, living in fear of capture but relatively safe compared to the horrors of the concentration camps. When they were finally discovered and sent to Auschwitz, the largest Nazi concentration camp, it was a tremendous shock and brought tremendous suffering. Anne and her sister Margot were later transported to Bergen-Belsen, where they both tragically died from typhus in March 1945, just few weeks before the camp was liberated.
