ANNE FRANK

The urge to document our lives during crisis is widely shared among writers.

A cold case team published what it called the "most likely scenario" of who betrayed the Jewish teen and her family. But a group of Dutch historians wrote an in-depth criticism of that work.

The move came after a group of Dutch historians has published an in-depth "refutation" that described the cold case team's findings as "a shaky house of cards."

The cold case team's research, which was published early this year in the book "The Betrayal of Anne Frank: A Cold Case Investigation," by Canadian academic and author Rosemary Sullivan, immediately drew criticism in the Netherlands. Dutch filmmaker Thijs Bayens, who had the idea to put together the cold case team, conceded in January that the team did not have 100% certainty about Van den Bergh. The Anne Frank House museum, which is based in the building where the Frank family hid, had no immediate comment on the historian's research. In January, museum director Ronald Leopold called the cold case team's conclusion “an interesting theory” but said he believed that "there are still many missing pieces of the puzzle.

A cold case team that combed through evidence for five years may have solved one of World War II's enduring mysteries: Who betrayed Jewish teenage diarist Anne Frank and her family? Their answer, outlined in a new book, is that it most likely was a Jewish lawyer called Arnold van den Bergh. The Anne Frank House museum in the canal-side Amsterdam building that includes the secret annex welcomed the new research, but said it also leaves questions unanswered. The museum gave the researchers access to its archives for the cold case project.

THE HAGUE – A friend of World War II Jewish diarist Anne Frank laid the first stone Wednesday at a new memorial under construction in Amsterdam to honor all Dutch victims of the Holocaust. “I almost can't believe it, but it is now really happening,” Jacques Grishaver, chairman of the Netherlands Auschwitz Committee, said in a statement. “The first of the more than 102,000 stones has been laid.”The last of the stones, each of which is engraved with a name, is expected to be placed in the memorial in March. A Dutch court cleared the way last year for the memorial to be constructed. Amsterdam Municipality had granted permission for construction to start in 2017, but residents argued that it was too big for the location and could cause traffic problems.
