The Franks had people they trusted mostly employees that knew they were hiding. These people brought food and information about the war daily. About seven days after going into hiding a family named the Van Pels joined Anne’s. There were Mr. and Mrs. Van Pels and their son Peter. Anne was very much happy about the extra company. In November 1942 , Fritz Pfeffer who was a dentist, joined the two families. Margot moved into her parents room and Anne shared hers with Mr.Pfeffer. Anne didn’t like Mr.Van Pels or Mr.Pfeffer she felt they ate too much of the food and hated sharing her room with him.

Anne wrote her strongest feelings in her diary. She wrote about her crush on the quiet and shy Peter Van Pels that hid with her family. Anne also wrote about every other relationship with people in the secret annex. Anne had written negatively about her mother in the early time during hiding. Anne matured a lot over the time in hiding and the relationship between her and her mother changed. Anne became closer to her sister too. Anne and her sister both agreed on how much they missed school and friends so often they would do school work. Anne’s last diary entry was August 1, 1944. She was fifteen years old.
