Living in hiding for TWO YEARS?!

How on Earth did they not go insane with boredom and claustrophobia? Eight people trapped in such a small place, in hiding from the rest of the world, no TV, Internet wasn't around and the only other people they saw were the helpers.

I think when people think of Anne Frank and her story they do recognize that she was in hiding but they seem to focus more on the diary and the capture and her death, but I think the fact she was in hiding for so long is slightly overlooked. It wasn't like it was a few weeks or even a month or two, it was 25 months in those tiny rooms with seven other people. I can't even comprehend something like that.

What if someone took ill or had a serious accident? What if something happened to Miep and the helpers, or the business got taken over by new staff or something and the people in hiding were unable to get their own food and were trapped? So many scary questions I guess .

I was also wondering if Otto ever spoke of the day of the capture? If maybe the SS who found them maybe mentioned anything to them about who reported them? Just curiosity I guess.
