MORE QUESTIONS!! (ANNE FRANK BOOK)

Inflation:

We can hardly believe what Jan, Mr. Kugler and Mr. Kleiman tell us about the prices and the people on the outside; half a pound of tea costs 350.00 guilders, half a pound of coffee 80.00 guilders, a pound of butter 35.00 guilders, one egg 1.45 guilders.

Thievery:

Break-ins, murders and thefts are daily occurrences. Even the police and night watchmen are getting in on the act. Everyone wants to put food in their stomachs, and since salaries have been frozen, people have had to resort to swindling.

Disappearances:

The police have their hands full trying to track down the many girls of fifteen, sixteen, seventeen and older who are reported missing every day.
