July 6, 1942
The Frank family leaves their home in Amsterdam.
The Nazis have occupied the Netherlands for over two years now. Anne's older sister, Margot, received a call up order yesterday to report for "work" in Germany. Their father, Otto, has just begun preparing for a situation like this. He has a plan to resist arrest by going into hiding in a secret apartment behind his company offices. Even though preparations are not entirely complete, Margot's call-up spurs everyone to action.

Sunday Matinee - Stories of Rescue
July 10, 1 p.m. at Anne Frank in the World
This short film, produced by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, tells stories of ordinary people who chose to intervene and help rescue Jews, despite the risks, demonstrate that individuals have the power to make a difference. What we do--or choose not to do--matters.
"There's not a question of why or why not. You just did."
Most non-Jews neither aided nor hindered the "Final Solution." Relatively few people helped Jews escape. Those who did aid Jews were motivated by opposition to Nazi racism, by compassion, or by religious or moral principle. In a few rare instances, entire communities as well as individuals helped save Jews. They did so at tremendous risk. In many places, providing shelter to Jews was punishable by death.
