Lying is never OK.

In the example of Anne Frank, given in the OP, the proper response would be no response.

The Gestapo would not have accepted silence as a response. A modern-day equivalent in this country won't accept silence either.

Why is it wrong to lie? It is wrong to lie because you are causing harm to your neighbor.

Your silence could be the same as admitting that you’re hiding someone and you would be guilty of sin because of the harm you would have caused.
