Relatives, maybe friends, could also be a journal or something he wrote down and now that no one will suffer if the info is released it now has been.

Some old papers showed up linking it when they went looking through old cases that were never completely resolved.

The guy who told on the Frank family was a prominent jewish person who was supposedly helping the nazis to protect his own family, which makes this hard to just go "what a terrible person"

FWIW, he was also a Jew and it's suspected he gave up safehouses to keep himself and his family out of the camps.

It's hard to judge. If the betrayer was Jewish, it is complicated. It would be one thing if they were not Jewish and just fucked her over. But it sounds like they made a choice to save their own family. It's hard to imagine what someone would do in that situation. The real evil was the nazis forcing that choice

He sold out people who shared his religion to save people who shared his blood.

It's terrible, but I can't honestly say I wouldn't have done the same if I were in that horrible situation. Be sad for the man who was forced to make a choice nobody should ever have to make. Be mad at the Nazis who made him choose in the first place.

If I had the choice between saving my family and my neighbor's family, I know damn well what I'd do.

In any case, even rabbis have said this man shouldn't be judged for this and that we shouldn't forget this is a result of the evil of the Nazis creating this situation, not this man.

What should he have done, then?

Not that ratting on other people was a good thing, but him not doing so would mean the deaths of his own family. He had no good options available.

It was wrong of him to do what he did, but he was placed in a lose-lose situation from the looks of things.

Don't think there was a 'win condition' for him there.

Yeah no this is media circus built on circumstantial evidence that hasn't changed in decades. It's absurdly crass to make such a deal of this including calling their book "The Betrayal of Anne Frank." I have to reiterate that they literally just looked at circumstantial evidence that historians already knew about and said "well, it seems this guy is the most plausible suspect, so let's use his name to make money off of outrage for a dead girl."

as a Jewish person during the Holocaust, what was he supposed to do?

have him and his loved ones die instead?

it was an impossible situation, and the only ones to blame are the Nazi regime that put them in it in the first place.

plus, as someone posted, there are doubts about him giving Anne Frank and her family up since he should have been hiding around that time.

This, and many times the people hiding did not have weapons or a way to fight back. All you could do was hide and hope your neighbors and the people hiding you did not give you up.

People are rejecting that finding.

he head of the Anne Frank Fund on Sunday rejected as full of errors a claim that Jewish notary Arnold van den Bergh is the leading suspect in betraying the teen Holocaust diarist to the Nazis during World War II.Published last week, author Rosemary Sullivans The Betrayal of Anne Frank: A Cold Case Investigation, determined based on an anonymous letter sent to Franks father, Otto that van den Bergh, a member of the Nazi-appointed Jewish Council, gave addresses of Jews in hiding to the Germans in exchange for freedom. Among those addresses, the investigators claim, was Otto Franks office building, where the concealed rooms were located.
Adding to historians who have branded the finding rubbish, John Goldsmith, president of the Basel-based fund set up by Otto Frank, said the claim wasnt sufficiently backed up and was tantamount to a conspiracy theory.

It contributes not to uncovering the truth but to confusion and in addition it is full of errors, Goldsmith told Swiss newspaper Blick am Sonntag, according to Reuters.
This proof just has not been produced. Simply to disseminate an assertion that then in the public discussion becomes a kind of fact borders on a conspiracy theory, he charged.

As the years go by we naturally lose them, but there are still a lot of people alive today that saw original nazis with their own eyes. My own grandmother passed years ago, but her siblings are still alive and they all fled from the fascists.
