Answer:
The character Mrs. Van Daan brings her fur coat with her when she is staying in the annex. The fur coat has sentimental value to her, because it connects her to her past. It symbolizes the freedom she once had, as well as her ability to possess valuable things. Her connection to the coat is emotional and materialistic.
