Description of the people in hiding
Who were the eight people hiding in the Secret Annex? In her diary, Anne Frank often describes her housemates or how they behave, often very emphatically, sometimes with more subtleness. She does not spare herself, either. In her book, Miep describes how she saw the people. Read the personal descriptions here, as seen through the eyes of Anne and Miep. In her diary, Anne Frank often confides her opinion on her housemates to her imaginary friend Kitty.
