The document provides a timeline of key events related to the rise of the Nazi party in Germany and the experiences of the Frank family leading up to and during World War 2. It chronicles Otto Frank immigrating to Holland in 1933 and his family following. It then outlines important Nazi policies and actions between 1933-1944 that oppressed Jews and led to the Frank family going into hiding in 1942 to escape deportation.
