THE BETRAYAL OF ANNE FRANK - ROSEMARY SULLIVAN ...

A New York Times Bestseller Less a mystery unsolved than a secret well kept... Using new
technology  recently discovered documents and sophisticated investigative techniques  an
international team-led by an obsessed retired FBI agent-has finally solved the mystery that has
haunted generations since World War II: Who betrayed Anne Frank and her family? And why? Over
thirty million people have read The Diary of a Young Girl  the journal teen-aged Anne Frank
kept while living in an attic with her family and four other people in Amsterdam during World
War II  until the Nazis arrested them and sent them to a concentration camp. But despite the
many works-journalism  books  plays and novels-devoted to Anne's story  none has ever
conclusively explained how these eight people managed to live in hiding undetected for over two
years-and who or what finally brought the Nazis to their door. With painstaking care  retired
FBI agent Vincent Pankoke and a team of indefatigable investigators pored over tens of
thousands of pages of documents-some never before seen-and interviewed scores of descendants of
people familiar with the Franks. Utilizing methods developed by the FBI  the Cold Case Team
painstakingly pieced together the months leading to the infamous arrest-and came to a shocking
conclusion. The Betrayal of Anne Frank: A Cold Case Investigation is the riveting story of
their mission. Rosemary Sullivan introduces us to the investigators  explains the behavior of
both the captives and their captors and profiles a group of suspects. All the while  she
vividly brings to life wartime Amsterdam: a place where no matter how wealthy  educated  or
careful you were  you never knew whom you could trust.
