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.

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
