| Summary: | Who betrayed Anne Frank and her family? And why? Despite the many works 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. Pankoke and a team of 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. They pieced together the months leading to the infamous arrest and came to a shocking conclusion. Sullivan introduces us to the investigators, explains the behavior of both the captives and their captors, and profiles a group of suspects. In doing so she brings to life wartime Amsterdam, a place where no matter how wealthy, educated or careful you were, you never knew whom you could trust. |
