Anne Frank betrayal suspect identified after 77 years

[Jimbuna]

A new investigation has identified a suspect who may have betrayed Anne Frank and her family to the Nazis.

The Jewish diarist died in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945, aged 15, after two years in hiding.

Her diary, published after her death, is the most famous first-hand account of Jewish life during the war.

A team including an ex-FBI agent said Arnold van den Bergh, a Jewish figure in Amsterdam, probably "gave up" the Franks to save his own family.

The team, made up of historians and other experts, spent six years using modern investigative techniques to crack the "cold case". That included using computer algorithms to search for connections between many different people, something that would have taken humans thousands of hours.

Van den Bergh had been a member of Amsterdam's Jewish Council, a body forced to implement Nazi policy in Jewish areas. It was disbanded in 1943, and its members were dispatched to concentration camps.

^ so, in other words, Van den Bergh sold out Anne Frank and her family to save his own skin. Nice.

I think it said his family. I have no doubt there are millions of people in the world who would do the same.

Sad times though, no doubt.

Would I give you up to save My Wife?
You better bet your ass on that answer. It is coming down to that.

I'm curious how you justify that comment. Where are the concentration camps and gas chambers?

It’s the history of mankind to single out people. From skin color, culture, looks, lifestyle, vax, anti vax, you name it. People always jumping on one bandwagon or another.

Think about it, how many American’s were prepared to let another go without medical care because they weren’t vaxxed? No different than the fella who turned in Ann Frankie. Cowards, unethical soulless animals.

Well said. That is how tyranny flourishes, divide, prevent unity through fear, get people to turn on their fellow citizens etc. Getting pretty terrible in the US, but seems it is worse in places like Australia etc. I have a colleague who from Brisbane originally, they things he tells us, first hand accounts from relatives still there, the videos posted backing these accounts up. Horrible.

The Neue Zürcher Zeitung, my preferred newspaper, finds very clear words.

A Jew is made the traitor of the iconic face of the Holocaust - in front of the eyes of the world and based on nothing but thin air. Who betrayed Anne Frank to the Nazis? A team around the Dutch filmmaker Thijs Bayens believes it knows. The book, which originated from the examination, is itself a crime.
