Once settled into the hiding place, the diarist could open a window in the attic for fresh air. There was a view of a chestnut tree, and the majestic Westerkerk church bells could be heard throughout the day. Although the captive Jews spent most of their time in the annex, they made use of the full premises during evenings and weekends.
At the other end of the building, facing the murky canal, one could peek through the office curtains to glimpse people roaming the Jordaan neighborhood, a hotbed of black-market activity. Also in the front-office, the Frank sisters were given filing work to do by Miep Gies and the other helpers. The annex faced a courtyard shared by two-dozen buildings, making it difficult to conceal people indefinitely. Visitors cannot climb up to the attic today, but a strategically placed mirror helps them see the famous window from below.

The only thing I had an issue with is that Betty somehow didn't know Jughead her next door neighbor and friend since at least elementary school had a dog until she wanted to start a pet business.

I've always liked Betty, so when I saw this on display I grabbed it without much thought. It doesn't help that I'm a sucker for any book with doodles. I was pleasantly surprised, though a bit disappointed that I was able to get through it quickly. Still, it was fun and rather adorable; Diary Betty is a very endearing person.
