The family moved to the Netherlands. They went to the city of Amsterdam. It was difficult moving to another country. Jews weren't allowed to use cars, trains or buses. The elderly and sick had to stay in Germany. They moved to the third floor of a house in Merwedeplein. They spent most of their holidays at a beach. Anne began going to school in 1934. When Anne began to write she sent letters to her friends and family in Germany. Anne occasionally visited her father's office. On her thirteenth birthday she got her diary which she called "Kitty".
