In July 1942, Otto Frank decides to hide his family after his daughter Margot is called to appear for transport to a Nazi labor camp. Miep, who is trusted by Otto, hides them in the attic above the office, that was called The Annexe

A few days later, the van Daans join the Franks in hiding, and after some months
Mrs van Daan were sent to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp

Otto tells Miep, who is distraught. Miep takes Anne's diary, which she has not read, from her drawer and gives it to Otto Frank.
