Cine a trădat-o pe Anne Frank? Investigația unui caz nerezolvat

Rosemary Sullivan traces a search for who exposed Anne Frank’s hiding place. The search also asks why they did it. Anne wrote her diary while hiding in an Amsterdam attic. Her family and four other people hid there with her. The eight hid for over two years during World War II. The Nazis then seized them and sent them to a concentration camp. Anne’s diary has reached more than 30 million readers.

This book uses research to probe the past. It follows a new bid to explain the arrest. Vincent Pankoke, a retired FBI agent, led the team. Its members came from several countries. They used new technology and modern methods to weigh the evidence. They read tens of thousands of pages of records. Some records were new finds; others had been closed to readers. They also spoke with dozens of people whose forebears knew the Franks. The team pieced together the months before the arrest. This work led them to propose an explanation.

Sullivan also shows life in Amsterdam under Nazi rule. She explores the hard choices and acts of betrayal that shaped it. This edition forms part of the Corint Istorie series. Anca Irina Ionescu translated the book from English.
