In December of 1933, the Frank family settled in a third floor apartment in Amsterdam's River Quarter. Anne and Margot got used to the Dutch language and made new friends. Their new school was only a ten minute walk. In June of 1934, Anne turned 5 with a big birthday party. Anne, along with two friends, did everything together. Everyone was welcome at the Frank's home.
Otto was now working for his brother in law's company as a traveling salesman. To make some extra money, the Frank's rented out one of their rooms. Anne struggled with her health. She had whooping cough, chicken pox and constant flu.
When 1938 came, life for Jews in Europe became much harder. By 1939, it was feared that Hitler would invade Holland. Hitler invaded Poland on September 1. On May 10 1940, German troops entered Holland. The Frank family became very worried.
