Answer» Mrs. Edith Frank was a good lady. She had two daughters, Margot and Anne. She always wanted to inculcate good moral values and disciplined behaviour in her daughters. But sometimes her attitude towards Anne seemed to be immature. She didn’t have an insight into the mind of a growing teenager. Most of the times she used to scold Anne on petty issues and praised Margot in front of her which made Anne feel jealous. Anne always felt uncomfortable in her presence and regarded her as an imperfect mother. She longed for a mother who would understand her and love her as all other mothers do. Mrs. Frank was never seen participating much in the squabbles during their stay in the secret annexe. She didn’t like the selfish attitudes of Mrs. van Daan and Mr. Alfred Dussel and even criticized them for being selfish. The tension in the annexe used to give her a headache. It caused her a lot of stress. |

He worked in a Dutch company until the family was forced to go into hiding in 1942. The moment he received a call-up notice, he started making preparations to go into hiding after discussing it with a few people. He always planned well before jumping into a situation. Shifting to the secret annexe is a good example of his planning ability. He took a quick decision and promptly followed it. Before leaving, he even left a note for his landlord to take good care of their cat, Moortje, which they were leaving behind. Like any other father, he loved his daughters very much and wanted to give them a good education. He sent Margot to a public school and Anne to a Montessori school in 1934. He somehow managed to get books for his daughters as he wanted them to read and have good knowledge of the world around them. After they were discovered, Otto was the only member of the family who survived the war and lived until 1980 and devoted his life to promote Anne’s diary. |
