It is very frightening because they can get caught easily and if they do, they will most likely get killed right there, tortured, or go to a concentration camp. They all are hoping not to get caught by the Nazis and hoping they have enough food when all this ends. It is frightening for the people who are hiding in the Secret Annex because if they make any noise between 6 a.m to 8 p.m the people who work down there will hear them and they will turn them in. They are also starting to argue who gets more food, which will turn out bad if they keep doing that. It would be very frightening if I was them and I wouldn't know what to think. The Nazis are at every block in the streets and if they see them through a window or such sort are getting killed. That's why I think it is very frightening.
