Anne’s Voice. You could not do this and you could not do that. They forced Father out of his business. We had to wear yellow stars. I had to turn in my bike. I couldn't go to a Dutch school any more. I couldn't go to the movies, or ride in an automobile, or even on a streetcar, and a million other things. . . . Yesterday Father told me we were going into hiding. . . . Our hiding place was to be upstairs in the building where Father used to have his business. Three other people were coming in with us.
