why people chose to help them hide

I think that even though it was dangerous they wanted to help because it was wrong what was going on. If you were okay with how they were treating Jews then something was wrong with you. I think that by helping them and hiding them they did a good thing even though it was scarey. Maybe they didn't want to see thoses bad things happen to them because they were friends, And they knew they could hlep so they did. I think that helping them was a good thing to do and for that they lived longer then they would have if they weren't able to hide. So in the end by helping them they did a lot.
