"Less a mystery unsolved than a secret well kept"--Cover. Includes bibliographical references (pages 359-365) and index.
Summary:
Using new technology, recently discovered documents, and sophisticated investigative techniques, an international team--led by a driven retired FBI agent--has begun to solve the mystery that has haunted generations since World War II: Who betrayed Anne Frank and her family? And why? Despite the many works devoted to Anne's story, none has ever conclusively explained how she, her family, and four others managed to live in hiding, undetected for more than two years--who or what finally brought the Nazis to their door. With painstaking care, retired FBI agent Vincent Pankoke and a team of indefatigable 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. Utilizing methods developed by the FBI, the Cold Case Team meticulously pieced together the months leading to the infamous arrest--and came to the likeliest--and much debated--conclusion. The Betrayal of Anne Frank ins the riveting story of their mission.
