33. The Frank Family Tried To Immigrate To The United States…Twice
Otto and Edith Frank believed Nazi Germany would not make its way to the Netherlands in 1933. Unfortunately, Hitler invaded the Netherlands in 1939 and started forcing Jews to live a certain way. This led Otto to try to get visas for his family to go to the United States.
The first time the Frank family was denied entry into the U.S., Otto started looking at Cuba. When the family received rejection from Cuba, Otto once again looked to the US. Unfortunately, they still didn’t receive entry, so Otto met with friends and started forming a new plan for hiding.
