Miep Gies, one of the people who had kept the families hidden and fed in the annexe, recovered Anne's diary and notebooks from the floor of the annexe, hoping to return them to her one day. When Anne's death was confirmed in the summer of 1945 she handed the diaries to Otto Frank.

20. The published book was based on Otto Frank's transcription of two sources of Anne's writings. These have become known as Version A and Version B. What is the difference between the two?

From Quiz Translations of Anne Frank's Diary

Answer: A was Anne's original diary. B was her re-written version

In 1944, Anne heard a radio broadcast on the BBC by Gerrit Bolkestein, a member of the Dutch government in exile. In it he asked people to document their experiences during the German occupation. This inspired Anne to re-write her diaries in a newly edited form so it could be published after the occupation ended. Without the existence of version B, there would have been a significant gap in the story as at least one notebook from version A was not recovered from the annexe, covering the period from May to December 1943. Otto realised from reading the diaries and notebooks that Anne wanted her story to be shared widely and that he was not breaching her privacy by doing so. He pieced together a narrative from the two versions that Anne had created and submitted it to publishers in the Netherlands.

From Quiz Anne Frank

Answer: 10:00-10:30am and 10-11am

On the morning of August 4, 1944, sometime between ten and ten-thirty, a car pulled up at 263 Prinsengracht.

27. The transcription of Anne's diaries was not word for word. Changes were made for editorial reasons. One change was to standardise the way that the entries were addressed. To whom did Anne, in the published work, address her diary entries?

From Quiz Translations of Anne Frank's Diary

Answer: Dear Kitty

Anne wrote her diary entries to a number of different people or characters during the first few months but by 1943 was writing exclusively to Kitty. Though no-one can know for certain who Kitty was, it appears likely that she was Kitty Francken, a character in the "Joop ter Heul" young adult novels written by Cissy van Marxveldt. A strong indication of this was that Anne addressed her entries to other names of characters in the books in those early months.

28. What was the reason Anne and her family hid?

Answer: They were Jewish

The Nazis tried to round up as many Jews as possible. In the Netherlands, it is estimated that out of 107,000 Jews, only 5000 returned.

29. In Anne's diary she used different names than the ones actually belonging to certain people. What was Mr Dussel's real name?
