Name of a Jewish notary a Cold case team led by former FBI agent The main suspect in the betrayal of Anne Frank and his family by the Nazis.
Arnold van den Berg, who died in 1950, was indicted on the basis of six years of research and anonymous reference received by Ann’s father, Otto Frank, after returning to Amsterdam at the end of the war.
The note states that von den Berg, a member of the Jewish Council, the governing body that forced the Germans to establish Jews, provided the Frank family hideout and other addresses used by the occultists.
He was motivated by fear of his life and his family, which is recommended in one CBS Documentary Rosemary Sullivan’s book, The Trial of Frank, is based on research compiled by retired FBI detective Vince Bangkok and his team.
Van der Berg initially classified himself as a non-Jew, but Bancock learned that he had been republished as a Jew due to a business dispute.
Van den Berg is said to have been a notary public in the forced sale of works of art to prominent Nazis. Herman Goring, Used the addresses of hidden places as a form of life insurance for his family. He and his daughter were not deported to Nazi camps.
Anne Frank She had been hiding for two years on August 4, 1944, in a hidden connection above a canal warehouse in the Jordan area of Amsterdam.
The young diary was sent to the Westerborg Traffic Camp and to the Auschwitz concentration camp, where he died of typhus in February 1945 at the age of 15, before finally ending up in Bergen-Belsen. His published diary covers the latent period between 1942 and August 1, 1944, his last entry.
Despite ongoing investigations, the mystery of who led the Nazis to the merger remains unresolved. Otto Frank, who died in 1980, was thought to have strong suspicions about the man’s identity, but he never made it public.
Many years after the war, he told journalist Friso Endt that the family had been betrayed by someone from the Jewish community. During a 1994 lecture in the United States, Miep Gies, one of the family’s helpers, was found dead in a cold case by a cold trial team in the 1960’s.
In 1947 and 1963 there were two police investigations into the circumstances surrounding Franks’ betrayal. Arendt von Heldon, the son of the detective who led the second investigation, handed the cold case investigators a typed copy of the anonymous note.
Sullivan, author of the new book, said: “Vandenberg was a well-known notary and one of the six Jewish notaries in Amsterdam at the time. A notary in the Netherlands is like a very high quality lawyer. As a notary, he was respected. He worked with a group to help Jewish refugees, and when they fled before the war Germany.
“The anonymous note does not identify Otto Frank. It read, ‘Your address has been betrayed.’ So, what really happened was that van den Berg was able to obtain many addresses of the Jews who had disappeared. There is no guarantee that those unnamed addresses and Jews are still hidden in those addresses. If you want, he gave to save his skin, but also to save himself and his family. Personally, I think he’s a sad person.
