Mrs. Van Daan is Unbearable

One time, she didn't want to wash up the pans because there were food left in them. While Mrs. Van Daan was being unbearable, the women and children of Stalingrad were evacuated from the dying city, where Germans had dropped bombs. -
Visiting The Van Daans
Anne Frank went upstairs to visit the Van Daans. She went to have a chat with them like she does occasionally. The Van Daans and Anne Frank talked about Peter. She told them that she didn't liked being pawed by boys and she would like it if Peter would stop stroking her cheek. While talking about Peter and other things, they were also eating moth biscuits and drinking lemonade. While Anne Frank was talking with the Van Daans, a great battle was happening. It was the "Battle of Alem el Halfa". -
