Discovery and Arrest at the Secret Annex 
August 4, 1944 
"The Anne Frank House's new investigation does not refute the possibility that the people in hiding were betrayed, but illustrates that other scenarios should also be considered. Hopefully more researchers will see reason to follow up new leads." - Ronald Leopold, Executive Director Anne Frank House 
The Anne Frank House in Amsterdam has published new research about the arrest of Anne Frank and the occupants of the Secret Annex. 
While theories of the betrayer's identity have been scrutinized, the premise of betrayal itself has not been closely examined until now. This investigative report provides a new perspective on the impetus for the arrests at 263 Prinsengracht. 
Learn more about this investigation. The full report is also available online.
