A new book based on an investigation by a team led by a former FBI agent has concluded that Holocaust diarist Anne Frank’s family may have been betrayed to the Nazis by a Jewish notary who collaborated with the German occupiers.
Anne and her family hid from the Nazis during most of the war, but were captured in August 1944 after being betrayed by a still-unknown informant. They were sent to several concentration camps, and Anne died in Bergen-Belsen shortly before it was liberated by the Allies. Her diary, published after the war, became a classic of Holocaust literature.
