The way she has been manipulated by the press is regrettable.вЂќ The team has also been careful to protect the identity of the granddaughter of Van den Bergh. Pankoke has therefore published his rebuttal on the web site: While new information is continually coming to light, Pankoke has been able to refute the distorted assumptions the critics say the team makes about the wartime Jewish Council, the existence of lists, and other matters. Without requesting a response from Pankoke and his team, the Dutch publisher AmboAthos printed an apology to anyone offended by the book and then withdrew the book. It is the critics who refer to Van den Bergh as a вЂњtraitor.вЂќ The team is always careful to see him as a victim whose motive was to save his family from deportation and death under the Nazi occupation. This conclusion was reached in part because of the lengths to which Otto Frank and Miep Gies went to protect the identity of the betrayer. Certain critics have questioned the bookвЂ™s conclusion: that a Jewish notary Arnold van den Bergh gave a list of anonymous addresses to the SD which included that of the secret Annex where Anne Frank and her family were hiding.

вЂњAlthough I was not involved in the research process, I have full confidence in the investigation led by Vince Pankoke into the betrayal of Anne Frank. In a statement released to me by Harper Collins, the author Rosemary Sullivan wrote: Just last week, the publisher of the Dutch edition of the book, AmbosAthos, withdrew it from publication.В The American publisher, Harper Collins, is standing by the book. After examining and rejecting several other figures who have been suspected of the betrayal, the team concluded the betrayer was a Jewish notary named Arnold van den Bergh, who died in 1960.Д«ut soon after the bookвЂ™s publication, several Dutch historians went public with doubts about the bookвЂ™s conclusions. Rosemary SullivanвЂ™s book The Betrayal of Anne Frankwas published in mid-January (weвЂ™ve interviewed Sullivan before, about her award-winning biography of StalinвЂ™s Daughter.) ItВ takes the reader through вЂњa cold case investigationвЂќ undertaken by an investigative team that included retired FBI agent Vincent Pankoke. We include links to the critique of the book and the rebuttal to those critiques, as well as Rosemary SullivanвЂ™s statement to WriterвЂ™s Voice about the controversy.Д®ver since the original publication of Anne FrankвЂ™s diary by her father Otto Frank in 1952, the identity of the betrayer of the FrankвЂ™s hiding place to the German authorities has been the burning question about that history. The book has become mired in controversy since our interview was recorded.

This week on WriterвЂ™s Voice we talk with Rosemary Sullivan about her book, The Betrayal of Anne Frank: A Cold Case Investigation.
