This was a book that I picked up from a local charity shop because it sounded like an interesting topic. I hadn't really paid attention to the blurb so was pleasantly surprised to find it was essentially a modern day investigation into who betrayed the Frank family. I never realised there were so many theories and accusations.
The author does a fantastic job at summarising a 5 year project into a little more than 300 pages, making it easily digestible for the reader.
Although a little anti-climactic, this is a book I would highly recommend.

Mi è piaciuto davvero molto, per quanto non si arrivi a una conclusione scientificamente provata, è stato un bel esperimento e indagine che fa luce su tante piccole realtà avvenute durante la persecuzione degli ebrei.
Do 4 stelle solo perché non c'è una vera accuratezza storico-scientifica ma l'ho adorato.

A very informative, and educational book. It shed light on aspects of the war that I wasn't taught in history, however I found the book very dry and difficult to read because of the names. It made it difficult to keep up with the many changing aspects of the book.

I learned quite a bit from the first section of the book, and I found the investigation of different suspects in the second part of the book truly interesting. It seems the investigators did as much as they could do with the evidence available to them. It will be interesting to see if the publishing of this book results in any more evidence being uncovered.

What I Did Like:
+Informative even for someone (like me) who is familiar with the time period and the story, it’s delivered in a way that is still interesting. Plus, there were things I didn’t know.
+Yes, the focus is on who betrayed Anne and the others in the Annex. But the book also goes into heavy detail on others who were given up and why. It’s a shocking reminder of how many people had to hide and how many were betrayed.
+Care and attention is paid to the people mentioned. If possible, they are called by their real names and true stories are given. It’s a constant reminder that these are real people and real stories, shocking as that may be.
Who Should Read This One:
-Historian or nonfiction fans who enjoy well researched WWII texts. This is incredibly well done and careful in its attention to detail.
-Special note for teachers: this one is packed with details and is heavy on the names, making it harder to wade through. HOWEVER, it's rare we get a detailed nonfiction text with a modern release date and voice. Therefore, I'd recommend using PASSAGES from this one or sections of the AUDIOBOOK for your units.
My Rating: 4 Stars
If you’re a nonfiction fan, this one is highly recommended.
