I was haunted by the fact that some more of Anne’s pages remained cast around on the floor in the hiding place. I was afraid to go back up there, as Silberbauer had already checked on me several times. He’d just pop his head in, saying, “I’m just making sure you haven’t gone.” I said nothing by way of reply. He’d seen what he wanted, that I hadn’t gone anywhere. He’d turn and leave.

I was afraid to go behind the bookcase again. It was very hard for me to look at the rooms with the people gone. I couldn’t face going back upstairs

Gies's main concern in this passage is thinking about the people who had been arrested and Anne’s writings. She feels haunted by the fact that there are still pages of Anne's diary left behind and is troubled by the absence of the people who had been in hiding. The mention of her fear and the memories of the rooms filled with people who are now gone underscores her concern for those who suffered during that time.
