Miep. I made up the beds . . . The way Mr. Frank and Mr. Kraler said. (She starts out.) Forgive me. I have to hurry. I've got to go to the other side of town to get some ration books for you. Mrs. Van Daan. Ration books? If they see our names on ration books, they'll know we're here. Mr. Kraler. There isn't anything . . . Miep. Don't worry. Your names won't be on them.

Explanation:

In this excerpt of "The Diary of Anne Frank," we can see how concerned Mr. Frank and Mr. Van Daan feel when Miep tells them she will get ration books for them. The two families are hiding from the Nazi regime in Miep's home. If the government finds out where they are, they will be taken away to concentration camps. However, Miep settles their worries by assuring them their names will not appear on the ration books. As we know, the Nazi regime was responsible for the killing of around 6 million Jews as well as of 5 million people belonging to several other groups, such as homosexuals, blacks, Gypsies, and others.
