A piece of evidence has emerged! Below is a video of an episode in Anne's life. Anne is hiding with her family in a secret annexe connected to her father's office. They are discussing whether they should allow a fellow Jew to move in with them, given their small space and shortage of food.


Who are they hiding from? Why are they facing food shortages? Who is helping them? You'll find out the answers to these questions and more... as we embark on this webquest!
