Anne Frank betrayal suspect named by researchers after new investigation

[shockedcanadian]

Anyone who has read this book knows how haunting it can be since we know the outcome. I finished her diary in one night and the question of who ratted them out seems to be solved. A book on this is to follow.

For those of us who are libertarians and take heat from both sides, yes, we can repeat history if we don't remember the origins of crimes against humanity i history. Fear must not drive us to be uncivilized, illogical and/or evil. Small abuses can grow until they are uncontrollable.

A six-year investigation into the death of Second World War diarist Anne Frank has named a suspect who "very likely" gave her family up to the Nazis.

A team of around 20 historians, criminologists and data specialists have been using modern investigative techniques to look into the circumstances surrounding the betrayal of the teenager more than 75 years ago.

They believe a relatively unknown figure, Jewish notary Arnold van den Bergh, gave the Frank family up in order to save his own family, research team member Pieter van Twisk told the daily NRC newspaper.

I think you are a libber but not tarian.

Based on what? My demands for small, accountable government and consequences for abusive/dishonest policing?

Your posts.

Your posts.

You might want to provide specifics. I could call you a cop based on your labeling me anything that you arbitrarily and erroneously choose to.

I hope they picked the right guy!


Poor bastard, if he's innocent.

Well, he is probably long dead. They also stated it wasn't to persecute but for historical accuracy.

Watching the reactions of many during this pandemic, it is clear to me that fear is a major motivator for peoples decisions. Humans are strongly motivated by self preservation and thus can be easily swayed, betray their principles, and/or become influenced.

What this mean for humanity going forward is almost a certainty of us being our own worst enemy.

Hard to blame the man much if he had to do it to save his own family. I, and I suspect most others might have done the same in a similar situation.

If that is the man, and he did it to save his own family, then they have an obligation to phrase it as such. I don't think any good will come from framing this as a betrayal for the sake of it. Any descendants will be negatively impacted for events and people they had no control over.

The link and the OP both said the investigators believed he did it to save his own family.

I saw that. I just don't have any faith in.....humans to keep it that way simply because of profit.

When I visited the Anne Frank house, I couldn’t believe how small the rooms were. Plus how quiet they had to have been to make sure none of the workers heard them. I always had heard that was how they were found out, one of the Dutch workers figured out they were there and betrayed them to the German police for Manuel or food.

After the goings on the past two years, we all have a good idea of those around us who would have betrayed her today.

Don't see any point at this late date to spend time on such research, it does no good for anybody as all the participants are dead and it won't bring anybody back. Now anybody with that last name will face harassment or maybe worse. We have stupid morons like Spike Lee walking around free after he called up people with the last name 'Zimmerman' and made death threats, yet he is considered a 'hero' for it instead of having his loser ass locked up in an asylum somewhere to contend with.
