Investigators, including a former FBI agent, believe Arnold van den Bergh, a one-time member of Amsterdam’s Jewish Council, may have been responsible for revealing Frank’s hiding place in the secret attic above her father’s office.
What remains undisputed is that after receiving a tip-off from an unknown individual, the Nazi SS discovered Frank, her parents Otto and Edith, her older sister Margot, a dentist called Fritz Pfeffer and another family, the Van Pels, hiding in the attic. All eight occupants were sent to Auschwitz. Of the eight Jewish occupants, only Otto Frank survived. Anne Frank died aged 15 within days of her sister and just a few weeks before the camp she had been moved to, Bergen-Belsen, was liberated by British soldiers.
