"description": "<p>In addition to the supply of clothes and food, the Secret Annex needed more matters - such as fuel, electricity and gas. Body care required soap, cosmetics, medicines and bandages. It was also possible to bring flowers into the house on numerous festive occasions.</p>\r\n\r\n<h1><strong>Fuels and energy</strong></h1>\r\n\r\n<p>In early <strong>November 1942,</strong> the stove was lit in the Secret Annex for the first time,<sup data-footnote-id=\"969np\"><a href=\"#footnote-1\" id=\"footnote-marker-1-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[1]</a></sup> meaning there had to be fuel by then. Private coal consumption in Amsterdam was about 280,000 tonnes a year. An average household used about 1,200 kilos.<sup data-footnote-id=\"4exh6\"><a href=\"#footnote-2\" id=\"footnote-marker-2-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[2]</a></sup> As of<strong> 10 November 1941</strong>, the coal trade was subject to a system of customer loyalty through registration with a supplier.<sup data-footnote-id=\"fxvvw\"><a href=\"#footnote-3\" id=\"footnote-marker-3-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[3]</a></sup> As tenants of centrally heated flats, the Frank and Van Pels families did not have to deal with this. Fritz Pfeffer, as a room tenant, could not bring coal rations to the Secret Annex, as they were valid only for a specific and officially rented room.<sup data-footnote-id=\"uxcoy\"><a href=\"#footnote-4\" id=\"footnote-marker-4-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[4]</a></sup> Inevitably, the people in the Secret Annex took some of the coal supplies of Gies & Co. and Opekta.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Daily newspapers in <strong>autumn</strong> <strong>1942</strong> warned against heating too enthusiastically before it got really cold.<sup data-footnote-id=\"zpzhk\"><a href=\"#footnote-5\" id=\"footnote-marker-5-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[5]</a></sup> In a diary kept by two Amsterdam sisters during the war years, they wrote on <strong>1 December 1942</strong> that their coal supplier had not had any anthracite for a month and they were therefore forced to burn pearl coke.<sup data-footnote-id=\"go8qw\"><a href=\"#footnote-6\" id=\"footnote-marker-6-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[6]</a></sup> During the first winter in hiding, there was already a clear shortage of fuel in Amsterdam.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the <strong>1943</strong> St Nicholas poem, Peter van Pels was praised for fetching coal and chopping wood.<sup data-footnote-id=\"jlb5m\"><a href=\"#footnote-7\" id=\"footnote-marker-7-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[7]</a></sup> In early <strong>February '44</strong>, as fears of an evacuation of the western towns grew, Anne wrote that there was plenty of coal and firewood available.<sup data-footnote-id=\"qn6r7\"><a href=\"#footnote-8\" id=\"footnote-marker-8-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[8]</a></sup> In the same month, she wrote that Peter was chopping wood in the attic.<sup data-footnote-id=\"n9287\"><a href=\"#footnote-9\" id=\"footnote-marker-9-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[9]</a></sup> By then, the second winter in the Secret Annex was coming to an end to some extent. Firewood could only partially replace anthracite because of its lower heating value. In <strong>March '44</strong>, Anne writes that<em> "most people"</em> had already run out of coal for a month.<sup data-footnote-id=\"b20lj\"><a href=\"#footnote-10\" id=\"footnote-marker-10-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[10]</a></sup> This claim gets support in the underground press.<sup data-footnote-id=\"w32ti\"><a href=\"#footnote-11\" id=\"footnote-marker-11-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[11]</a></sup> She did not address the situation in the Secret Annex. Assuming that the eight people in hiding together formed an average household, and in addition had to burn their rubbish, they had also burned about two thousand kilos of coal, so there must have been a regular supply of fuel.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The electricity consumption by the people in the Secret Annex was not great. They had not much more than a few lamps, a vacuum cleaner, probably an electric iron and, after <strong>July '43</strong>, a small radio. Heavier electrical appliances were in operation in the rest of the building. There were machines with a combined motor power of about 10 HP (7.45 kW) in <strong>June 1941</strong>.<sup data-footnote-id=\"fli78\"><a href=\"#footnote-12\" id=\"footnote-marker-12-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[12]</a></sup> The machinery thus accounted for a significant proportion of the power consumption in the building. Anne's claim that a 14-day power cut was imminent<sup data-footnote-id=\"thkn4\"><a href=\"#footnote-13\" id=\"footnote-marker-13-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[13]</a></sup> cannot be correct, at least not in <strong>November '42</strong>. Such a sanction was not really possible until <strong>spring 1943 </strong>at the earliest.<sup data-footnote-id=\"1ngs4\"><a href=\"#footnote-14\" id=\"footnote-marker-14-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[14]</a></sup> There is no reason to believe that this situation actually occurred.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The office kitchen had a gas water heater and a two-burner stove.<sup data-footnote-id=\"q6qgu\"><a href=\"#footnote-15\" id=\"footnote-marker-15-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[15]</a></sup> In the Van Pels room there was a cooking facility, and given the baking by Mrs. Van Pels,<sup data-footnote-id=\"qh14m\"><a href=\"#footnote-16\" id=\"footnote-marker-16-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[16]</a></sup> one can assume that this included an oven. The water heater and the stove were used for bathing and laundry. There were gas stoves in the office rooms on the first floor.<sup data-footnote-id=\"3k6pd\"><a href=\"#footnote-17\" id=\"footnote-marker-17-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[17]</a></sup> As with electricity, the gas ration <strong>in mid-1941</strong> was set at 75 per cent of the same periods in the previous year, with a minimum of 60 m<sup>3</sup>.<sup data-footnote-id=\"qrw9h\"><a href=\"#footnote-18\" id=\"footnote-marker-18-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[18]</a></sup></p>\r\n\r\n<h1><strong>Medicines, bandages and toiletries</strong></h1>\r\n\r\n<p>Sanitary napkins, cotton wool and other bandages were among the textile goods that remained unaffected by rationing rules.<sup data-footnote-id=\"h8y9g\"><a href=\"#footnote-19\" id=\"footnote-marker-19-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[19]</a></sup> There were shortages, though: Anne writes in <strong>autumn 1942</strong> about sanitary napkins that were no longer available.<sup data-footnote-id=\"10dw8\"><a href=\"#footnote-20\" id=\"footnote-marker-20-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[20]</a></sup> Otherwise, the diary gives hardly any information about things like bandages and plasters. The Franks' <em>Red Cross box</em> was among the items stored with the Amende family, so it was not present in the Secret Annex.<sup data-footnote-id=\"ve4ak\"><a href=\"#footnote-21\" id=\"footnote-marker-21-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[21]</a></sup></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mrs Van Pels ordered various toiletries from Johannes Kleiman in <strong>October '42</strong>.<sup data-footnote-id=\"dh2wc\"><a href=\"#footnote-22\" id=\"footnote-marker-22-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[22]</a></sup> Toothpaste 'and the like' were still being delivered in <strong>January '44</strong>, according to Anne.<sup data-footnote-id=\"7qxug\"><a href=\"#footnote-23\" id=\"footnote-marker-23-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[23]</a></sup> Nevertheless, she wrote that in <strong>May '43</strong>, she ran out of shampoo and washed her mother's hair with green soap.<sup data-footnote-id=\"6s27j\"><a href=\"#footnote-24\" id=\"footnote-marker-24-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[24]</a></sup> The lack of resources made hygiene increasingly difficult.<sup data-footnote-id=\"ueq6b\"><a href=\"#footnote-25\" id=\"footnote-marker-25-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[25]</a></sup> As a rule, everyone in the Netherlands had to make do with about half the previously usual amount of soap.<sup data-footnote-id=\"ka47n\"><a href=\"#footnote-26\" id=\"footnote-marker-26-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[26]</a></sup> This general shortage of soap and the resulting national flea plague in <strong>1943</strong><sup data-footnote-id=\"k691z\"><a href=\"#footnote-27\" id=\"footnote-marker-27-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[27]</a></sup> also affected the Secret Annex. Fritz Pfeffer was given a piece of 'air soap' once a month, and Anne accidentally kicked off a piece.<sup data-footnote-id=\"65u3s\"><a href=\"#footnote-28\" id=\"footnote-marker-28-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[28]</a></sup> One bar of soap a month was the usual amount provided under standard rationing.<sup data-footnote-id=\"1zf1e\"><a href=\"#footnote-29\" id=\"footnote-marker-29-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[29]</a></sup></p>\r\n\r\n<p>A related hygiene problem occurred with Mouschi's litter box. He urinated next to his litter box when peat moss was no longer available for changing it.<sup data-footnote-id=\"sf605\"><a href=\"#footnote-30\" id=\"footnote-marker-30-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[30]</a></sup></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pfeffer was both the company's dentist and general practitioner. When treating Mrs Van Pels' teeth, he apparently used cologne as a disinfectant and petroleum jelly as a wax.<sup data-footnote-id=\"yc2z4\"><a href=\"#footnote-31\" id=\"footnote-marker-31-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[31]</a></sup> Anne writes that he received a 'foot-operated drill' after some months, and therefore expected to undergo dental treatment soon.<sup data-footnote-id=\"sm3a7\"><a href=\"#footnote-32\" id=\"footnote-marker-32-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[32]</a></sup></p>\r\n\r\n<p>During the war years, Bep Voskuijl's younger sister Willy worked at the pharmaceutical company Brocades Stheeman on Looiersgracht, incidentally a business associate of Otto Frank since <strong>1933</strong>. Bep sometimes asked her sister for medicine, which later turned out to have ended up in the Secret Annex.<sup data-footnote-id=\"km74d\"><a href=\"#footnote-33\" id=\"footnote-marker-33-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[33]</a></sup> Anne mentions in her diary the presence of biomals, valerian and codeine.<sup data-footnote-id=\"tmw22\"><a href=\"#footnote-34\" id=\"footnote-marker-34-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[34]</a></sup></p>\r\n\r\n<h1><strong>Flowers</strong></h1>\r\n\r\n<p>Mrs Van Pels received red carnations from her husband on <strong>29 September 1942</strong>, her birthday, chrysanthemums from the helpers and roses from the Frank family - Pfeffer did not arrive until November.<sup data-footnote-id=\"hqemo\"><a href=\"#footnote-35\" id=\"footnote-marker-35-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[35]</a></sup> As bulbous flowers were not allowed to be grown, chrysanthemums were the main alternative. Prices were high.<sup data-footnote-id=\"iqpbx\"><a href=\"#footnote-36\" id=\"footnote-marker-36-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[36]</a></sup> At St Nicholas celebrations in <strong>December</strong> that year, the ladies received lots of flowers from the now three gentlemen.<sup data-footnote-id=\"l74dk\"><a href=\"#footnote-37\" id=\"footnote-marker-37-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[37]</a></sup> In that month, the Aalsmeer flower auction did operate, but due to heating bans and fuel restrictions, the only supply came from the 'cold greenhouse'. As a result, many sought-after varieties were not available.<sup data-footnote-id=\"xsir6\"><a href=\"#footnote-38\" id=\"footnote-marker-38-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[38]</a></sup></p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the <strong>spring of 1944</strong>, there were many complaints about flower dealers charging far too high prices.<sup data-footnote-id=\"6q677\"><a href=\"#footnote-39\" id=\"footnote-marker-39-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[39]</a></sup> Nevertheless, Otto Frank received roses and carnations for his birthday on <strong>12 May</strong>.<sup data-footnote-id=\"ec2by\"><a href=\"#footnote-40\" id=\"footnote-marker-40-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[40]</a></sup> A month later, Anne had a birthday and received lathyrus from Pfeffer, while Peter managed to get her a bunch of peonies.<sup data-footnote-id=\"t1ogf\"><a href=\"#footnote-41\" id=\"footnote-marker-41-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[41]</a></sup> In those days, flowers were still products on which substantial profits were made.<sup data-footnote-id=\"5wej2\"><a href=\"#footnote-42\" id=\"footnote-marker-42-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[42]</a></sup> At thirty Amsterdam florists, the entire stock was confiscated and forcibly sold at set prices, but this windfall came just too late for Anne's birthday.<sup data-footnote-id=\"w0u9k\"><a href=\"#footnote-43\" id=\"footnote-marker-43-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[43]</a></sup></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The energy and fuel supply in the Secret Annex depended entirely on the presence of Opekta and Gies & Co. in the premises. Coal allocations and power rations from the companies allowed the people there to stoke the stove and use energy without their own input - apart from a financial input.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Supplies of toiletries, medicines and related items sometimes depended on rationing, but all the more on the external contacts of the helpers. These contacts, in turn, were often related to the networks surrounding the companies.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The flowers served to boost morale, of course, but were ultimately a form of luxury. The regular supply of flowers shows that there was still financial room for such expenses throughout the period in hiding.</p>\r\n\r\n<section

"description_nl": "<p>Naast de aanvoer van kleding en levensmiddelen waren er in het Achterhuis meer zaken nodig, zoals brandstoffen, elektriciteit en gas. Voor de lichaamsverzorging waren zeep, cosmetica, medicijnen en verbandmiddelen nodig. Verder lukte het bij tal van feestelijke gelegenheden bloemen in huis te halen.</p>\r\n\r\n<h1><strong>Brandstoffen en energie</strong></h1>\r\n\r\n<p>Begin <strong>november 1942</strong> ging in het Achterhuis voor het eerst de kachel aan,<sup data-footnote-id=\"969np\"><a href=\"#footnote-1\" id=\"footnote-marker-1-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[1]</a></sup> wat betekent dat er toen ook brandstof moest zijn. Het particuliere kolenverbruik in Amsterdam was ongeveer 280.000 ton per jaar. Een gemiddeld huishouden gebruikte zo’n 1.200 kilo.<sup data-footnote-id=\"4exh6\"><a href=\"#footnote-2\" id=\"footnote-marker-2-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[2]</a></sup> Per 1<strong>0 november 1941</strong> gold voor de kolenhandel een stelsel van klantenbinding door middel van inschrijving bij een leverancier.<sup data-footnote-id=\"fxvvw\"><a href=\"#footnote-3\" id=\"footnote-marker-3-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[3]</a></sup> De families Frank en Van Pels hadden daar als huurders van centraal verwarmde woningen niet mee te maken. Fritz Pfeffer kon als kamerhuurder geen kolentoewijzingen meenemen naar het Achterhuis, omdat die alleen geldig waren voor een specifiek en officieel gehuurd vertrek.<sup data-footnote-id=\"uxcoy\"><a href=\"#footnote-4\" id=\"footnote-marker-4-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[4]</a></sup> Het kan niet anders of de onderduikers liftten mee op de kolenvoorraad van Gies & Co. en Opekta.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Dagbladen waarschuwden in de <strong>herfst van 1942</strong> tegen te enthousiast stoken voordat het werkelijk koud werd.<sup data-footnote-id=\"zpzhk\"><a href=\"#footnote-5\" id=\"footnote-marker-5-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[5]</a></sup> In het dagboekje dat twee Amsterdamse zusters tijdens de oorlogsjaren bijhielden, schreven zij op <strong>1 december 1942</strong> dat hun kolenleverancier al een maand geen antraciet had en zij daarom noodgedwongen parelcokes stookten.<sup data-footnote-id=\"go8qw\"><a href=\"#footnote-6\" id=\"footnote-marker-6-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[6]</a></sup> In de eerste onderduikwinter was er in Amsterdam al een duidelijk tekort aan brandstof.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In het Sinterklaasgedicht van <strong>1943</strong> werd Peter van Pels geprezen omdat hij kolen haalde en hout hakte.<sup data-footnote-id=\"jlb5m\"><a href=\"#footnote-7\" id=\"footnote-marker-7-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[7]</a></sup> Begin <strong>februari ‘44</strong>, toen de angst voor een evacuatie van de westelijke steden groeide, schrijft Anne dat er genoeg kolen en brandhout voorhanden waren.<sup data-footnote-id=\"qn6r7\"><a href=\"#footnote-8\" id=\"footnote-marker-8-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[8]</a></sup> In dezelfde maand schrijft ze dat Peter op de zolder hout hakte.<sup data-footnote-id=\"n9287\"><a href=\"#footnote-9\" id=\"footnote-marker-9-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[9]</a></sup> De tweede winter in het Achterhuis liep toen al enigszins ten einde. Brandhout kon vanwege de lagere stookwaarde antraciet maar gedeeltelijk vervangen. In <strong>maart ‘44</strong> schrijft Anne dat '<em>de meeste mensen'</em> al een maand zonder kolen zaten.<sup data-footnote-id=\"b20lj\"><a href=\"#footnote-10\" id=\"footnote-marker-10-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[10]</a></sup> Die bewering krijgt steun in de illegale pers.<sup data-footnote-id=\"w32ti\"><a href=\"#footnote-11\" id=\"footnote-marker-11-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[11]</a></sup> Over de situatie in het Achterhuis zegt ze niets. Ervan uitgaande dat de acht onderduikers samen een gemiddeld huishouden vormden, en bovendien hun huisvuil moesten verbranden, hadden ze dan toch zo’n tweeduizend kilo steenkool verstookt, dus er moet regelmatige aanvoer van brandstof zijn geweest.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Het elektraverbruik van de onderduikers in het Achterhuis was niet groot. Meer dan wat lampen, een stofzuiger, waarschijnlijk een elektrische strijkbout en na <strong>juli ’43</strong> een klein radiootje waren er niet aanwezig. In de rest van het gebouw waren zwaardere elektrische apparaten in bedrijf. Er kwamen in <strong>juni 1941</strong> machines met een gezamenlijk motorvermogen van zo'n 10 PK (7,45 kW) te staan.<sup data-footnote-id=\"fli78\"><a href=\"#footnote-12\" id=\"footnote-marker-12-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[12]</a></sup> Het machinepark was daarmee goed voor een aanzienlijk deel van het stroomverbruik in het pand.

Geiser en komfoor deden dienst bij het baden en de was.

Kolentoewijzingen en stroomrantsoenen van de bedrijven gaven de onderduikers de gelegenheid zonder eigen inbreng – afgezien van financiële – te stoken en energie te gebruiken.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Aanvoer van toiletartikelen, medicijnen en aanverwante artikelen was soms afhankelijk van de distributie, maar veeleer van de externe contacten van de helpers. Deze contacten hielden veelal weer verband met de netwerken rond de bedrijven.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>De bloemen dienden natuurlijk het moreel, maar waren uiteindelijk toch een vorm van luxe. Uit de regelmatige aanvoer van bloemen blijkt dat er gedurende de hele onderduikperiode toch financiële ruimte voor zulke uitgaven was.</p>\r\n\r\n<section

"description_en": "<p>In addition to the supply of clothes and food, the Secret Annex needed more matters - such as fuel, electricity and gas. Body care required soap, cosmetics, medicines and bandages. It was also possible to bring flowers into the house on numerous festive occasions.</p>\r\n\r\n<h1><strong>Fuels and energy</strong></h1>\r\n\r\n<p>In early <strong>November 1942,</strong> the stove was lit in the Secret Annex for the first time,<sup data-footnote-id=\"969np\"><a href=\"#footnote-1\" id=\"footnote-marker-1-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[1]</a></sup> meaning there had to be fuel by then. Private coal consumption in Amsterdam was about 280,000 tonnes a year. An average household used about 1,200 kilos.<sup data-footnote-id=\"4exh6\"><a href=\"#footnote-2\" id=\"footnote-marker-2-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[2]</a></sup> As of<strong> 10 November 1941</strong>, the coal trade was subject to a system of customer loyalty through registration with a supplier.<sup data-footnote-id=\"fxvvw\"><a href=\"#footnote-3\" id=\"footnote-marker-3-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[3]</a></sup> As tenants of centrally heated flats, the Frank and Van Pels families did not have to deal with this. Fritz Pfeffer, as a room tenant, could not bring coal rations to the Secret Annex, as they were valid only for a specific and officially rented room.<sup data-footnote-id=\"uxcoy\"><a href=\"#footnote-4\" id=\"footnote-marker-4-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[4]</a></sup> Inevitably, the people in the Secret Annex took some of the coal supplies of Gies & Co. and Opekta.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Daily newspapers in <strong>autumn</strong> <strong>1942</strong> warned against heating too enthusiastically before it got really cold.<sup data-footnote-id=\"zpzhk\"><a href=\"#footnote-5\" id=\"footnote-marker-5-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[5]</a></sup> In a diary kept by two Amsterdam sisters during the war years, they wrote on <strong>1 December 1942</strong> that their coal supplier had not had any anthracite for a month and they were therefore forced to burn pearl coke.<sup data-footnote-id=\"go8qw\"><a href=\"#footnote-6\" id=\"footnote-marker-6-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[6]</a></sup> During the first winter in hiding, there was already a clear shortage of fuel in Amsterdam.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the <strong>1943</strong> St Nicholas poem, Peter van Pels was praised for fetching coal and chopping wood.<sup data-footnote-id=\"jlb5m\"><a href=\"#footnote-7\" id=\"footnote-marker-7-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[7]</a></sup> In early <strong>February '44</strong>, as fears of an evacuation of the western towns grew, Anne wrote that there was plenty of coal and firewood available.<sup data-footnote-id=\"qn6r7\"><a href=\"#footnote-8\" id=\"footnote-marker-8-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[8]</a></sup> In the same month, she wrote that Peter was chopping wood in the attic.<sup data-footnote-id=\"n9287\"><a href=\"#footnote-9\" id=\"footnote-marker-9-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[9]</a></sup> By then, the second winter in the Secret Annex was coming to an end to some extent. Firewood could only partially replace anthracite because of its lower heating value. In <strong>March '44</strong>, Anne writes that<em> "most people"</em> had already run out of coal for a month.<sup data-footnote-id=\"b20lj\"><a href=\"#footnote-10\" id=\"footnote-marker-10-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[10]</a></sup> This claim gets support in the underground press.<sup data-footnote-id=\"w32ti\"><a href=\"#footnote-11\" id=\"footnote-marker-11-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[11]</a></sup> She did not address the situation in the Secret Annex. Assuming that the eight people in hiding together formed an average household, and in addition had to burn their rubbish, they had also burned about two thousand kilos of coal, so there must have been a regular supply of fuel.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The electricity consumption by the people in the Secret Annex was not great. They had not much more than a few lamps, a vacuum cleaner, probably an electric iron and, after <strong>July '43</strong>, a small radio. Heavier electrical appliances were in operation in the rest of the building. There were machines with a combined motor power of about 10 HP (7.45 kW) in <strong>June 1941</strong>.<sup data-footnote-id=\"fli78\"><a href=\"#footnote-12\" id=\"footnote-marker-12-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[12]</a></sup> The machinery thus accounted for a significant proportion of the power consumption in the building. Anne's claim that a 14-day power cut was imminent<sup data-footnote-id=\"thkn4\"><a href=\"#footnote-13\" id=\"footnote-marker-13-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[13]</a></sup> cannot be correct, at least not in <strong>November '42</strong>. Such a sanction was not really possible until <strong>spring 1943 </strong>at the earliest.<sup data-footnote-id=\"1ngs4\"><a href=\"#footnote-14\" id=\"footnote-marker-14-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[14]</a></sup> There is no reason to believe that this situation actually occurred.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The office kitchen had a gas water heater and a two-burner stove.<sup data-footnote-id=\"q6qgu\"><a href=\"#footnote-15\" id=\"footnote-marker-15-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[15]</a></sup> In the Van Pels room there was a cooking facility, and given the baking by Mrs. Van Pels,<sup data-footnote-id=\"qh14m\"><a href=\"#footnote-16\" id=\"footnote-marker-16-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[16]</a></sup> one can assume that this included an oven. The water heater and the stove were used for bathing and laundry. There were gas stoves in the office rooms on the first floor.<sup data-footnote-id=\"3k6pd\"><a href=\"#footnote-17\" id=\"footnote-marker-17-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[17]</a></sup> As with electricity, the gas ration <strong>in mid-1941</strong> was set at 75 per cent of the same periods in the previous year, with a minimum of 60 m<sup>3</sup>.<sup data-footnote-id=\"qrw9h\"><a href=\"#footnote-18\" id=\"footnote-marker-18-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[18]</a></sup></p>\r\n\r\n<h1><strong>Medicines, bandages and toiletries</strong></h1>\r\n\r\n<p>Sanitary napkins, cotton wool and other bandages were among the textile goods that remained unaffected by rationing rules.<sup data-footnote-id=\"h8y9g\"><a href=\"#footnote-19\" id=\"footnote-marker-19-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[19]</a></sup> There were shortages, though: Anne writes in <strong>autumn 1942</strong> about sanitary napkins that were no longer available.<sup data-footnote-id=\"10dw8\"><a href=\"#footnote-20\" id=\"footnote-marker-20-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[20]</a></sup> Otherwise, the diary gives hardly any information about things like bandages and plasters. The Franks' <em>Red Cross box</em> was among the items stored with the Amende family, so it was not present in the Secret Annex.<sup data-footnote-id=\"ve4ak\"><a href=\"#footnote-21\" id=\"footnote-marker-21-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[21]</a></sup></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Mrs Van Pels ordered various toiletries from Johannes Kleiman in <strong>October '42</strong>.<sup data-footnote-id=\"dh2wc\"><a href=\"#footnote-22\" id=\"footnote-marker-22-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[22]</a></sup> Toothpaste 'and the like' were still being delivered in <strong>January '44</strong>, according to Anne.<sup data-footnote-id=\"7qxug\"><a href=\"#footnote-23\" id=\"footnote-marker-23-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[23]</a></sup> Nevertheless, she wrote that in <strong>May '43</strong>, she ran out of shampoo and washed her mother's hair with green soap.<sup data-footnote-id=\"6s27j\"><a href=\"#footnote-24\" id=\"footnote-marker-24-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[24]</a></sup> The lack of resources made hygiene increasingly difficult.<sup data-footnote-id=\"ueq6b\"><a href=\"#footnote-25\" id=\"footnote-marker-25-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[25]</a></sup> As a rule, everyone in the Netherlands had to make do with about half the previously usual amount of soap.<sup data-footnote-id=\"ka47n\"><a href=\"#footnote-26\" id=\"footnote-marker-26-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[26]</a></sup> This general shortage of soap and the resulting national flea plague in <strong>1943</strong><sup data-footnote-id=\"k691z\"><a href=\"#footnote-27\" id=\"footnote-marker-27-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[27]</a></sup> also affected the Secret Annex. Fritz Pfeffer was given a piece of 'air soap' once a month, and Anne accidentally kicked off a piece.<sup data-footnote-id=\"65u3s\"><a href=\"#footnote-28\" id=\"footnote-marker-28-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[28]</a></sup> One bar of soap a month was the usual amount provided under standard rationing.<sup data-footnote-id=\"1zf1e\"><a href=\"#footnote-29\" id=\"footnote-marker-29-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[29]</a></sup></p>\r\n\r\n<p>A related hygiene problem occurred with Mouschi's litter box. He urinated next to his litter box when peat moss was no longer available for changing it.<sup data-footnote-id=\"sf605\"><a href=\"#footnote-30\" id=\"footnote-marker-30-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[30]</a></sup></p>\r\n\r\n<p>Pfeffer was both the company's dentist and general practitioner. When treating Mrs Van Pels' teeth, he apparently used cologne as a disinfectant and petroleum jelly as a wax.<sup data-footnote-id=\"yc2z4\"><a href=\"#footnote-31\" id=\"footnote-marker-31-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[31]</a></sup> Anne writes that he received a 'foot-operated drill' after some months, and therefore expected to undergo dental treatment soon.<sup data-footnote-id=\"sm3a7\"><a href=\"#footnote-32\" id=\"footnote-marker-32-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[32]</a></sup></p>\r\n\r\n<p>During the war years, Bep Voskuijl's younger sister Willy worked at the pharmaceutical company Brocades Stheeman on Looiersgracht, incidentally a business associate of Otto Frank since <strong>1933</strong>. Bep sometimes asked her sister for medicine, which later turned out to have ended up in the Secret Annex.<sup data-footnote-id=\"km74d\"><a href=\"#footnote-33\" id=\"footnote-marker-33-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[33]</a></sup> Anne mentions in her diary the presence of biomals, valerian and codeine.<sup data-footnote-id=\"tmw22\"><a href=\"#footnote-34\" id=\"footnote-marker-34-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[34]</a></sup></p>\r\n\r\n<h1><strong>Flowers</strong></h1>\r\n\r\n<p>Mrs Van Pels received red carnations from her husband on <strong>29 September 1942</strong>, her birthday, chrysanthemums from the helpers and roses from the Frank family - Pfeffer did not arrive until November.<sup data-footnote-id=\"hqemo\"><a href=\"#footnote-35\" id=\"footnote-marker-35-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[35]</a></sup> As bulbous flowers were not allowed to be grown, chrysanthemums were the main alternative. Prices were high.<sup data-footnote-id=\"iqpbx\"><a href=\"#footnote-36\" id=\"footnote-marker-36-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[36]</a></sup> At St Nicholas celebrations in <strong>December</strong> that year, the ladies received lots of flowers from the now three gentlemen.<sup data-footnote-id=\"l74dk\"><a href=\"#footnote-37\" id=\"footnote-marker-37-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[37]</a></sup> In that month, the Aalsmeer flower auction did operate, but due to heating bans and fuel restrictions, the only supply came from the 'cold greenhouse'. As a result, many sought-after varieties were not available.<sup data-footnote-id=\"xsir6\"><a href=\"#footnote-38\" id=\"footnote-marker-38-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[38]</a></sup></p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the <strong>spring of 1944</strong>, there were many complaints about flower dealers charging far too high prices.<sup data-footnote-id=\"6q677\"><a href=\"#footnote-39\" id=\"footnote-marker-39-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[39]</a></sup> Nevertheless, Otto Frank received roses and carnations for his birthday on <strong>12 May</strong>.<sup data-footnote-id=\"ec2by\"><a href=\"#footnote-40\" id=\"footnote-marker-40-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[40]</a></sup> A month later, Anne had a birthday and received lathyrus from Pfeffer, while Peter managed to get her a bunch of peonies.<sup data-footnote-id=\"t1ogf\"><a href=\"#footnote-41\" id=\"footnote-marker-41-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[41]</a></sup> In those days, flowers were still products on which substantial profits were made.<sup data-footnote-id=\"5wej2\"><a href=\"#footnote-42\" id=\"footnote-marker-42-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[42]</a></sup> At thirty Amsterdam florists, the entire stock was confiscated and forcibly sold at set prices, but this windfall came just too late for Anne's birthday.<sup data-footnote-id=\"w0u9k\"><a href=\"#footnote-43\" id=\"footnote-marker-43-1\" rel=\"footnote\">[43]</a></sup></p>\r\n\r\n<p>The energy and fuel supply in the Secret Annex depended entirely on the presence of Opekta and Gies & Co. in the premises. Coal allocations and power rations from the companies allowed the people there to stoke the stove and use energy without their own input - apart from a financial input.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>Supplies of toiletries, medicines and related items sometimes depended on rationing, but all the more on the external contacts of the helpers. These contacts, in turn, were often related to the networks surrounding the companies.</p>\r\n\r\n<p>The flowers served to boost morale, of course, but were ultimately a form of luxury. The regular supply of flowers shows that there was still financial room for such expenses throughout the period in hiding.</p>\r\n\r\n<section
