(AP Photo\/Peter Dejong)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 10:52 AM PT \u2013 Tuesday, January 18, 2022<\/h5>\n<p>A cold case investigation into the betrayal of Anne Frank has identified a possible suspect. The team behind the investigation, lasting six years, found circumstantial evidence pointing to a Jewish notary named Arnold Van Bergh as the one responsible for Frank\u2019s arrest. Their evidence is a note from Frank\u2019s father, which named Van Bergh as their betrayer.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe scenario is that the notary Arnold Van Den Bergh, well known in Amsterdam, handed over lists of people in hiding, explained Pieter Van Twisk, a researcher and investigative team member. \u201cAnd on that list was the address 263 Prinsengracht. The home of the annex.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The findings caused a stir with many researchers remaining unconvinced about the validity of the team\u2019s conclusions. Skeptics pointed to the circumstantial evidence of Van Bergh\u2019s involvement as grounds to remain open about the case.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe name of Anne Frank is not someone, it is the icon of the Holocaust,\u201d said historian Erik Somer. \u201cAnd if you are going to blame someone, you have to prove more then 100 percent that you are right. And in this case, you have to take some reservation in making your conclusion. I think that is important to point out.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Among those who are skeptical of the investigation\u2019s results is the director of the Anne Frank Museum. Ronald Leopold, who was not involved in the team\u2019s investigation but did allow them access to the museum\u2019s archives.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cNo, I don\u2019t think we can say that the mystery has been solved now,\u201d said Leopold. \u201cIt\u2019s an interesting theory that the team came up with. I think they came up with a lot of interesting information, but I also think there are still many missing pieces of the puzzle and those pieces need to be further investigated in order to see how we can value this new theory.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The results of the team\u2019s investigation will be published in a book titled \u201cThe Betrayal of Anne Frank\u201d this week.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/oxfam-calls-on-govt-to-impose-99-one-time-tax-on-rich\/\">Oxfam Calls On Govt.
