Answer 1

The Holocaust was a genocidal campaign perpetrated by the Nazi Party against the Jews during World War II.

The Frank family, the Van Daans, and Fritz Pfeffer, a dentist, found themselves in hiding in an annex above Otto Frank’s business premises in Amsterdam to escape the Nazi persecution of Jews. The annex became their home for two years, from 1942 to 1944, until they were discovered and sent to concentration camps.

So, The Nazis forced the families into hiding to protect them from the widespread extermination of Jews. The constant threat of discovery and the harsh living conditions in the annex took a toll on their physical and mental well-being.

The families' relationships were strained due to the confined space, lack of privacy, and the stress of their situation.
