Hardship: Question 5b

5b. What do you think would be the hardest part of life in the Secret Annex: the fear of discovery, the need to keep silent for hours at a time, the sharing of cramped quarters with strangers, or some other aspect? Explain.

I think the hardes part of living in the Secret Annex is the fear of discovery. You have your family to be safe from the strangers and living with the strangers and strangers are not going to do something to you because they are in the same situation and they will need more people as they need. If they want help and advantage toward the NAZIs they will have to stick together, so being with strangers are not the most hardest part. In other hand getting discovered is really fearful and scary thing to happen. They went into the Secret Annex to not get caught, but if you get caught or discovered you failed your mission and their will be no hope because it is deadly inside the concentration camps. In my view, having fear everytime for everything you do is the worst thing. You can't do anything because if you make any small squeaky noise you get caught and you go to the concentration camp. People die in concentration camps, and if they get caught that lead to hell or the concentration camps. Somoe suriviors describe the concentration camps as hell because they use those Jews and other people to test some medical things and experiment and just kill. Getting discovered could happen really easily because if you just make noise while everyone or normal Germans work in that building. With a little squeak you get caught and you die. It is tragic that you die after getting discovered and that is really sad because if you have other problems in the building inside with strangers you will have your family members, but in concentration camp you are alone maybe you will be with you family members, but that is by luck because in Anne's case his father lived but Anne died.
