Question

I was stunned. A call-up: everyone knows what that means. Visions of concentration camps and lonely cells raced through my head. How could we let Father go to such a fate? "Of course he’s not going," declared Margot as we waited for Mother in the living room. "Mother’s gone to Mr. van Daan to ask whether we can move to our hiding place tomorrow. The van Daans are going with us. There will be seven of us altogether." Silence. We couldn’t speak. The thought of Father off visiting someone in the Jewish Hospital and completely unaware of what was happening, the long wait for Mother, the heat, the suspense - all this reduced us to silence.

Hello. Although you have submitted a text, you have not submitted any questions related to it, which makes it impossible for me to give you any answer. However, to try to help you, I will show you what is happening in this text and what it means.

This text was taken from the book "The Diary of a Young Girl" which tells the real story of a girl, Anne Frank who, along with her family and other Jews, had to spend three years in hiding, trying to get rid of Nazi violence and the concentration camps.

This text shows the moment when Anne's sister, Margot, was summoned to a Nazi concentration camp. This made the family horrified and afraid of what could happen to them. This prompted Anne's mother to move into the hiding place that was being prepared for them and in the meantime, Anne was thoughtful imagining the terrors that her family, primarily her father, would face if they were taken to a concentration camp. Anne's concern turned more to her father, as he used to visit patients in the Jewish hospital, completely unaware of the danger he was in doing so.
