I never get tired of her story. Innocence lost... 💔
Meyer Levin from america wrote it.
One girl, what about everyone else?
@@AnimatedBlastwhat about them? Her story doesn’t take away from the loss of everyone who was murdered. It does put a story out for those who suffered in hiding. Why hate?
Visited Bergen-Belsen Germany where Anne’s last place camp. Tears when I saw people still leave the flowers to her photo.
And so in conclusion: We'll never know who betrayed them, then.
Never, I read a book written by a lady who worked with her dad. She seemed as if she honestly cared about the Frank family.
@@mdungethulile I've read just about every autobiography, bio in regards to this family. No one is 100% certain. But I guess the point really is that they were sadly betrayed.. and that's all we need to know.
@@edyann I think the real question is what would you have done? Can we really call it a betrayal if the action was to save one’s own family?
@@dreswan1 But we don't actually know if they did it to save their own. A lady here just commented that it was a cat that betrayed them because the Nazis followed him towards the door. I guess Anne, being her beautiful self was feeding it. I guess we'll never know but what a tragedy. That's all I know. Just a whole tragedy of innocence lost because of ONE madman..
@@edyann we know now who betray the frank family
I have been obsessed with Anne Frank ever since I was given her book as a young girl. I also visited The secret Annex while stationed in Germany. This story will never get old
The book was written by Meyer Levin, you can check out his other books or the lawsuit he won against Otto frank.
@@boycottjews
The lawsuit was in regards to a financial claim Levin had about a play he wrote about Ann's diary and life. That he was promised by Otto Frank to have his version of the play done in the U.S., but instead Levin's play wasn't used. The verdict was later set aside, and an outside agreement on compensation for Levin and rights to his play were agreed on. NOTHING in that civil case had anything to do with someone else writing the diary, other than Ann Frank herself.
@@geozap4518 I disagree.
@@geozap4518 I have never heard anything about this!
The annex was quite moving, eh? My mother and I were overcome. Climbing up the ladder to see the upper portion, some guy turned to my mother and offered her a pen to leave her name. Her indignant response (because of the outrage of effacing the place like that) was that she didn’t need to because it was all over the place. Her name was also Ann Frank - just no “e” on the Ann.
It makes me sad, to know there are people who would be traitors against humanity and take the lives of innocent people. RIP Frank Family.
WOW, the cherry on top of a horrible weekend for us Jews...
Meyer Levin from america wrote the entire book.
@@boycottjews I don't care where he is from.
@@newtempphone-ash9507 obviously. You're just an antiWhite that slurps up lies. Meyer Levin wrote it.
@@boycottjews YES sure ok
The question that underlies all of this is whether any of us would act as informants. Anne Frank’s story presents this moral question. None of think we would be that kind of person, but in this day and age when ppl do things that are wrong and justify it somehow, I think a significant percentage like 1/3 would.
Look no farther that contact tracing. We doing it again
It really does give one a lot to think about, doesn’t it? And not even just who might act as an informant, but to what extremes in general might we be personally willing to go to protect ourselves and our loved ones. It’s a difficult question.
@@GunninWizard That’s not even remotely the same thing.
@@wendyannh it’s exactly the same
kierbaudy I agree with you.
Thank you for sharing this interesting, but a sad story
What a beautiful young girl/soul! Breaks my heart every time there’s a story about this young lady.
The world is a much darker place without Ann frank. I feel she would have kept writing and become a very much admired writer. Rest in peace Gods little darling.
This is so heartbreaking and sad
In my humble opinion, there was a very important aspect of this piece of the puzzle remaining unsolved: it kept people talking and thinking about this atrocious part of history. I’ve been to countless museums all over the country, but none has ever moved me as much as the Holocaust Museum. In this time of rising anti-semitism, it’s more important than ever that we educate ourselves & our children - and NEVER FORGET.
The Holocaust made a deep impact on me also. Reading Lucy Dawidowicz's "The War Against The Jews" and watching Claude Lanzmann's 9 1/2 hour documentary, "Shoah" is a must if anyone seeks to understand just a modicum of what the Holocaust is.
It’s important to not forget or history repeats it self, look what Israel is doing to Palestinians. Anti Semitism will die when Zionism dies
Awesome 60 minutes!
I cannot imagine the horror people lived in under the Nazi's.
You and me both!
Knowing how the Nazi's kept millions of pages about every little bit of information, look to the soldier reports about their actions that day. Every officer would have been required to keep details of the investigations and actions.
He said you would have needed some kind of leverage with the Nazis in order to escape👀
Good at record keepint
Even today we have these special people that the police have excuses not to arrest and or investigate because they are special.
Having flipped just a few houses doing raids, I don’t think it’s far fetched that the hide was coincidentally found…
Nazis detailed and documented everything. Maybe the devil is in the details.
I recently in 2021 found online all my grandfather’s documents from 1945 and 1949 after he survived Auschwitz. He never spoke of the holocaust where he lost 4 siblings and both parents, got his tattoo removed etc but through these documents I finally found out everything where he was at every stage of the war. Every detail was hand written.
There’s always the possibility that they were tipped off by somebody on the inside. Whoever that person is may have had contacts in Amsterdam too
Seen the show. So it was either getting shipped out or handing over the list, huh?
Below are some of the questions and thoughts I had after watching the original 60 Minutes special featuring Vince Pankoke--questions and thoughts that I sent to Mr. Pankoke in an email. Mr. Pankoke responded at length and generously. Moreover, in our correspondence, I have found Mr. Pankoke to be open and respectful to disagreement and additional hypotheses regarding the identity of the one that might have betrayed the occupants of the Secret Annex.
Again, here are those thoughts and questions I wrote to Mr. Pankoke:
Perhaps like anyone who reads Anne Frank's diary, I, too, have spent time wondering who informed the Gestapo about the hidden occupants at 263 Prinsengracht. In my wondering, I have relied upon clues and possibilities found in the diary's contents. Therefore, prior to watching the 60 Minutes story, I had never heard of Arnold van den Bergh. One question I have is the following: If Van den Bergh did alert the Gestapo to the Jewish occupants at 263 Prinsengracht, who informed him? The 60 Minutes piece suggests that Van den Bergh had lists of addresses where Jews were hiding; but how would he have known this information? I can't imagine that the Franks, the Van Pels, Fritz Pfeffer and their helpers shared their hiding place with many people, regardless if some of those people were Jewish. My understanding is that a few family members of the helpers knew Jews were hiding at 263 Prinsengracht, including Bep Voskuijl's father. But your investigation suggests Van den Bergh knew--my question is, how would he have come to know?
I wonder if the latter question--the question of how--is connected to the helpers. Watching the story, I was struck by Otto Frank's apparent sudden silence over who betrayed his family and his fellow occupants. The story suggests Frank's silence was related to Van den Bergh's own position as a Jewish man, and if Frank were to reveal Van den Bergh as the betrayer, this information could fan the flames of anti-Semitism. But might Frank's silence be connected to a slip up by one of the helpers? If one accepts Van den Bergh as knowing Jews were hiding at 263 Prinsengracht, isn't it conceivable that one of the helpers, briefly and mistakenly and unfortunately, let slip a word, a hint, a hesitation that betrayed the Franks', the Van Pels' and Pfeffer's secret residence? Might it have been a momentary but costly error by one of the helpers that informed Van den Bergh? And if that helper admitted their slip up to Otto Frank, perhaps he chose to drop the subject, devastated but knowing he couldn't hold one of his helpers responsible.
(I know--that last paragraph comes with a lot of what ifs and hypotheticals.)
I do not think Wilhelm van Maaren can be dismissed as the possible betrayer. I recall that, in the 60 Minutes story, you say Van Maaren was not anti-Semitic; but does that really matter? Did Van Maaren suspect Jews were hiding at 263 Prinsengracht, or did he simply suspect people were hiding there? Perhaps he reported this to the Gestapo, not necessarily knowing there were Jews and hoping he might receive a reward.
Finally, what did your investigation make of the burglars that broke into 263 Prinsengracht? In the diary, Anne mentions at least several break-ins to the site's warehouse and offices. In one instance, those burglars may have come to the Secret Annex's concealed door, and in another, Pfeffer might actually have interrupted a burglar, might have been working in the office when the burglar was still present! (I'll have to return to the diary and re-read the wording used to describe the latter instance involving Pfeffer.) I can't help but wonder if one or any of these burglars might have turned in the Jews hiding at 263 Prinsengracht.
I wonder what his reply was? Because the amount of speculation in this research led to a storm in The Netherlands. Historians are polite people, but their criticisms were detailled and politely scathing.
Despite all the work, the conclusion is just the best guess of who did it.
Thijs Bayens, the man responsible for assembling a research team to look into the matter of who betrayed the Frank family and the others hiding in the annex, said that "we don't have 100 percent certainty" on who was the informer and that "there is no smoking gun because betrayal is circumstantial."
I often wonder if the authorities had the helpers under surveillance, especially the women as they would have to go out to get food and other things which were heavily rationed. The butcher where they got the extra meat from was arrested for selling meat on the black market. At one point, there is also a break in at the warehouse.
I always thought a worker betrayed them but now that can be wrong
It was so interesting!
Never Forget
Anne Frank

She may have been betrayed but she never betrayed. This title sucks. I mean.... Lol
How did this person get a list of the people in hiding? Why would such a list be made in the first place?
what a story i feel for this since my dad went thru the holocaust and my mom was american and the same age as anne frank
Willem could still have done it, maybe he didn’t care about losing his job. Or snitching might have been more exciting for him. I still suspect him…
I agree. He knew where the Franks and others were hid.
That note in Otto Frank's file convinces me.
Maybe I misunderstood the "60 Minutes" preview of Anne Frank's betrayer's as it was advertised during the Cowboys vs. 49ers game. I thought they found out who the betrayer's were.

@@geozap4518 Thanks Geo, I did track that info down, I appreciate your confirmation and it looks like we have the same info.
You're welcome.
@@geozap4518 Do you know why there would have been a list of Jews in hiding? It seems like a stupid idea to write such a list.
I love Anne Frank's Diary book, it's one of the reasons I started journaling. The ending of course always haunted me. It brought that to life and what it was like in the everyday lives of people of that time.
I'm glad to know even that much more about who betrayed them from this segment. But I'm wondering who the Jewish man that turned their hiding address in to the Nazi's got that address from. It's probably just too unkown. He could've got it from anyone that happened to somehow notice they were there. I believe that we'll be able to find that and answers to all things out in the afterlife though. So I believe all the details will someday be known to everyone.

Although we will, in fact, still never know for sure, I’m so glad people are still trying to find out who betrayed them.
Anne and her father were my cousins, albeit distant ones, and I wish with all my heart there had never been any reason for me to have learned their names other than during my normal genealogy investigations.
The German's and Dutch kept a very good a administration so the documents just need to be found properly.
Meyer Levin sued franks dad and won a settlement of 50,000 in the 50s. He wrote it.
You must be related to Betsy Ross then
Wendyannh, as a gentile, I apologize for the antisemitism on this thread. I thank you for the information. Gentile, British historian, Paul Johnson, has said that antisemitism is a disease of the mind. I readily agree.
@@geozap4518 Sorry bud where is the antisemitisme here?
Guarantee it was the closest friends or the friendliest towards her family.
How are they gotta find justice? They gonna blame a person who's dead already?
Exactly
Meyer Levin wrote the whole damn thing.
There are stories like this in the thousands,not only jews betraying jews. Betrayal for survival was common everywhere during world war 2. My family members escaped a communist country,they shared stories how neighbors they've lived with side by side would report their neighbors for anyone suspicious or a threat to the communist party. One day ,our uncle was sitting at home when he had a loud knock at the door. He opened the door,there they were,four communist authorities arrested him. He did 4 year's of torture in prison. He realized his neighbor, his childhood friend he grew up with was his betrayer. My uncle was against the communist regime, he was now an enemy to those who supported the communist party. To make matters worse for my uncle, his family member's escaped the country,considered traders of their country. My aunts husband was escaping the country when he was shot and killed by the communist party. His wife he left behind was taken away,never to be heard or seen again. We believe someone reported my uncle's plan to escape. They knew the exact route he would be taking for his escape. Someone he trusted reported him to the authorties. The sad part of it all ,is his body wasn't given to the family for buriel. The government took his body and most likely threw him over a cliff. His wife was arrested,leaving 5 children behind. She's never been seen since. Anne Frank stories are in the millions during world wars,far more tragic than the Frank's family. How about their stories? Do they not matter?

Not for long. Free Palestine.
This was my favorite book in elementary I loved Ann I looked up to her in a way.
This is supposed to be 60 MINUTES not 60 seconds:(!!!!
It's a trailer.............
We all like to think that, were we in a situation like living in Amsterdam when the Nazis who had invaded the Netherlands, we wouldn't rat anybody out.
Arnold van den Bergh, a member of the Jewish council, apparently was the person who ratted Anne Frank's family out. What would we do, given the choice of ratting someone out, or going to a concentration camp ourselves? A few of us would choose not to rat the people out, but most of us aren't "saints".
Not excusing or exonerating Arnold ven den Bergh, but he was faced with a terrible, really untenable choice that NOBODY would want to have to make.
Heres the whole Anne Frank video - ua-cam.com/video/1pO_nERBqKo/v-deo.html
What the Nazis did was horrible, but I’m glad Anne Frank’s story is being told

I don't know if that is actually a picture of Anne Frank but, if it is, she looked like one of my nieces.
I visited The Anne Frank House in Amsterdam many years ago and I remember learning that it was a cat who betrayed the hiding place in the annex to the nazis. There was a cat that the children, Anne and her sister and Peter found wandering around outside the annex door and the children adopted it. Though nearly starving themselves, they fed the cat, much to the dismay of the adults in the annex. One day the nazis came through doing an area sweep to find Jews. They came into the building and looked around but decided there was no one hiding until suddenly, the cat showed up and walked over to the annex door. This alerted the nazis, who then entered the annex and captured the Frank's along with the others hiding in the annex.
Oh wow. I've never heard that. But it's sad to say that the cat betrayed them. Poor kitty, he was just hungry and knew that Anne was a lover of animals. Tragedy all the way around.
It figures…cats are EVIL..I hate them!
Since there is no confirmed information about this, you can't have learned anything more than a theory, a questionable one if i may say so.

Personally, I believe it was the Dutch guy who knew the Franks and others were hiding in the building.
IS ANNE JEWISH ?

Jessica betrayed Jesus Toni believe
Dann sollten auch die Kugelschreiberinhalte (Kugelschreiber gab es erst nach dem Krieg) der so genannten Tagebücher auf den Grund gegangen werden - aber das würde ja die ganze Geschichtsschreibung auf den kopf stellen!😁
Old magazines, pre-war, mention them. Wikipedia says they were patented in 1938, which seems reasonable.
So much continued speculation on who betrayed her. How about an honest look at who actually wrote the book?

Who is this girl? It seems very old why worry so many other problems on the earth but 🙏🏿 to her family we need to focus on the NOW
