"Dead people receive more flowers than the living because regret is stronger than graditude" -unknown (commonly attributed to anne frank)

If anne was still alive, she would be very less popular than if she was dead. This is pretty sad but its the truth, thats why many survivors are overlooked. They experienced the same pains and struggles too

Her dad was the only one to survived the concentration camp. Later he said he doesn’t wish to know who exposed their hiding place

Fun fact: Anne Frank and Martin Luther King Junior were born in the same year (1929)

"People can tell you to shut up, but they can't keep you from having opinions." ~Anne Frank March 2, 1944

Imagine how much of a talented writer should we be today if she survived, considering she wrote her diary when she was ONLY 13.

imagine being so close to life, watching people walk by living their life. The agony that you couldn’t go outside for one second.

who ever report Anne' family, knew there were 8 people living there.

I don’t think I have ever heard The Anne Frank House described as a crime scene. That’s a really good point though. I got the chance to visit The Anne Frank House when I visited The Netherlands and it was incredible.

Her family applied to emigrate to the USA and was refused.

World history would have been changed if this little girl had survived.

It was a coward who was a selfish person that didn't care about killing people.

It was probably someone close to and well known to the family.

I first read her diary when I was around 10 years old.i found it sad then but in a way I saw her as quite an old girl. I'm now 16 and realising the true tragedy of it. She was so young and had so much ahead of her.

She wanted to be a famous writer... and her dream was fulfilled Bless her

They didn’t just betray her they facilitated the murder

It’s actually quite eerie watching that short clip of a young girl leaning out a window, knowing how much tragedy was on its way and how legendary she would become because of it.

Why is this getting recommended to everyone now?

The saddest part of this story is the person who exposed her family could be anyone of us. Most people don't realize how hard it would be to not cave and just agree

Yet we have Emmett Tills killer but she’s “too old”

I would love to find out who betrayed the Franks and sent three innocent people, Anne, her sister Margot and her Mother Edith, to their deaths with millions of others. This person would be as big a villain as Hitler if it was found out who did it. I wish the best of luck to anyone looking into this, but I don't think there is ever going to be conclusive evidence as to who betrayed the Franks, and I think that's very sad.

I visited Amsterdam in December of 2019, and I’m truly grateful to have visited the Anne Frank House. When my boyfriend and I entered this place, you had a different feeling inside. It wasn’t cold, nor just historical. It’s like you felt pain but also some kind of understanding Anne had gone through. RIP to this beautiful soul. If you Plan to visit, I highly recommend booking in advanced. It does not get crowded but they do sell out fast.

I I always admired Anne Frank for her strength and her heart because she kept such a bright outlook on life when in reality her chances of survival were pretty low if she was found and I am so happy that we celebrate her and I think we need to celebrate her more

She was so gorgeous This breaks my heart She didn’t even have a chance

In her diary, she mentions that Mr. Dussel wrote to his wife, although they stopped sending the letters after 2 days. The wife could’ve turned them in, she might of done it out of the Nazi’s sparing her life if she turned them in or maybe she hated her husband. Either way I think this could quite possibly be the betrayer of Anne’s Annex, I don’t know much about this so correct me if I’m wrong.

I feel like if they do find out who betrayed them then people will try to find that person’s family that lives today. And then knowing people nowadays, they will harass and threaten them

Seems so much more awful if the rat was someone close or someone considered your own. Despicable

Ann Frank's sister also had a diary but hers was never found.

One of the world's greatest mysteries that I'd be highly interested in getting a answer to.

Obviously, if they found out for sure who told on them being there they would not be prosecuted cause they have probably have been dead for at least 40 years. But it still would be nice to know who the rat was that gave them away.

I believe it was the same people who were helping them hide. I don't believe it was Miep, but I believe it was one of the others, probably out of fear. Hannah said Anne told her while at the camp "Someone betrayed us". Betrayed being the key word.

Imagine finding out that your ancestor sold out Anne frank

From what I understand it was possibly Meip's sister. She used to work for Otto (Anne's father) as typist and knew about the 8 in the annex. There is an entry in Anne's diary where Meip suddenly one day says are we all turing Anti-Semitic.

Imagine being one of the world's most prolific writers at age of 13 even 80 years later. Every other 13 year old today just want to game online or become a TikTok star.

I'm wondering why nobody looked at the neighbors or the people who came to the warehouse to conduct business. Anne suspected them in her diary

"In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart." The fact that this was said by a 13 year old Jewish girl, who was in hiding because a maniac was killing Jews at that time, astounds me. I aspire so, but I don't think I could ever be that optimistic.

The person that betrayed Ann and her family is most likely of course dead but I am willing to bet that person who did it told their relatives and someone out there has the answers but they just don't want to say.

“I wanna live even after I’m dead” -Anne Frank

pls also find the betrayers of her family up to this very day....

She’s so pretty 🙎🏾‍♀️ who ever betrayed her is a bum 🤔

I truly and genuinely believe that Anne was a literal angel sent from Heaven to teach the world the importance of love, kindness, and forgiveness in the form of her precious diary. She left the Earth far too soon, as all angels do.

What bugs me the most is the Franks got rattled out one month before Operation Market Garden. If the plans were a success or if the Allies planed it a month earlier, maybe there was a chance the Franks could of survived the war.

Saddest story I've ever read

Imagine if she knew her diary would go viral like this

Please god save humanity

I just finished reading a copy of Anne's diary and it was really a great book. There were so many of her emotions and feelings written down so maturely. She was only 13! She was so brave and I hope many people today can look up to her.

One of Anne's last cousin is alive. Had she gone to Switzerland rather than Holland she would have survived. Sad.

We've read a play version of her diary in eighth grade.... Such a sad story that someone betrayed them. And if she was in the camp for two more weeks, she could've been liberated by the Brits

despite the fact that in her diary she states that the world is evil, and how someone could be so cruel to another, she still believes that we are all good at heart. this proves that there is still humanity left in all of us

The same type of person who snitched on Anne is the same type of person who would snitch on neighbors who don't mask up or have people over.

About the comment below speculating that the Franks were betrayed by one of their own helpers. I always thought something was not quite right about Bep Voskuijl who is also known by the pseudonym Elli Vossen. Miep said that after the war, Bep's memories of the events became vague and she didn't want to talk about them, a red flag. But now I think that Bep was not the traitor. She was keeping quiet because she had a conflict of interests. Her son has now written a book expounding that while Bep was on the side of the angels, and it was her father who made the swinging bookcase, her sister was a collaborator and a fascist who had an affair with a Nazi officer. He knows his aunt was the black sheep of the family. She made snide remarks to Bep, indicating that she knew what was going on. He suspects it was the elder Voskuijl sister who betrayed the people in hiding for a bounty. I know of a Dutch family where siblings have not spoken to each other for over 70 years because some of them were in the resistance and others were actively pro-Nazi. It's not an uncommon story but it is a terrible psychological burden. Marianne using Roger's computer.

One of the most moving moments in my life was climbing those stairs and going behind the bookcase into those same small rooms where Anne, her family and others hid and were eventually betrayed. I stood there along with people from Japan, China, Europe and America, all standing in complete silence. As I write these words, tears are running down my cheek as those emotions are still near the surface so many years later. If any of you find yourselves in Amsterdam, please go to the Anne Frank house and climb those same stairs. I promise you will "never forget."

I heard a bit about Anne Frank and watched some things etc and I wonder if maybe some people who burgled the office underneath heard footsteps and movements etc, left and then later on out of desperation called the authorities for a reward / told someone else who informed the authorities. probs has been debunked though

You know whats funny. The people living in the Jordaan (that neighbourhood) know exactly who snitched her. But he's dead now

It just breaks me that she died the year before freedom😢

When you really value life you'll stay safe in a place and don't complain, but you'll make the best out of it Anne Frank. 2020-2021 people complain for everything shame on them

Its so crazy that there are probably thousands and thousands of people who went through what Anne did, both young and old.

The person who betrayed Anne Frank, I’m so done 😡

"Not looking for prosecution?" Lol Who were they going to prosecute? Old man Jenkins for Spongebob

The person who told them were they were was the biggest snitch.

finished this book a few weeks back and visited the house a few year ago. best book ever written. so beautiful! everyone should read it once in their life.

Imagine trying to cancel a dead person

It's amazing how Anne frank went through that at just fifteen years old it must be so scary for her

I remember watching her movie in middle school. Such a sad story.

I was taught they found her family because there was too much trash coming out of the warehouse

Roses are dead.. Violets are dying.. Outside she's smiling... Inside she's crying...

I’m sure this person didn’t just betray Anne but probably many others. And I’m sure there were also people who died rather than betray someone to the Nazis. It’s heartbreaking, no matter how you look at it ❤️

Her diary inspired me to open up a hotdog stand called Anne’s Franks. I set it up next to my favorite music store, The Vinyl Solution.

It's so sad that when my blood family were living well at that time, my grandmother was going into a good private school with everything she wanted and needed, at the other side of the world there was Anne Frank living in an attic trying to be most quite as she could as they were hiding from Nazis.

I mean...just imagine the fear the family had. That is a true sad story in history.

I have always wondered if the tip-off came from the people in the pipeline providing supplies to the group--especially as food and other necessities became scarcer. Even those in the black market would have guessed that Miep was buying more stuff than she needed for a husband and wife. Miep, who lived to be over 100, shopped for food every single day for 10 people (herself, her spouse, and the eight in the hiding place). Her visits to a place of business with that much food couldn't have gone unnoticed. Worse, there are times when I think that it might have been Miep herself who turned them in. That might be heresy to some, but consider this: Miep had the responsibility and the danger, plus the stress of listening to the sob stories of eight people living cheek by jowl with each other and no respite from each other and no possibility of a walk outside.

The person who betrayed Anne while watching this: *SWEATS*

Still, after having read the book many years ago and being familiar with the history, this is heartbreaking every time I am exposed to it.

That person is probably dead... but their crime wasn't a mystery to God. I'm sure justice has already been served, and they're where they belong. ...and that sentence never ends.

Im a distant cousin of the Frank Family. If I were to wake up tomorrow and find out who betrayed the Frank Family it would change anything. German citizens were in survival mode. I don’t judge whoever did it. I judge the people he turned them in to; the people who actually KILLED my cousins. The people who loaded Anne and Margot and her parents in cattle cars. Those who took Anne and Margot away from their mother and starved Edith (Anne’s mother) to death. Those who watched as Anne and Margot withered away of typhus in Bergen-Belsen. It was a genocide. Millions of people behind the ideology of Nazism killed my cousins. It doesn’t matter who “betrayed” them. They were already betrayed long before...

Well, whoever the person was, what he did was lawful at the time he did it.

Wow, there are actually people who dislike trying to find the person who betrayed a little girl to her death. Unbelievable.

Goes to show you, you can't trust a single person on this earth. It was probably a family member.

The ultimate Karen is the one who snitched

So sad. They were so close to freedom. If Anne knew that her Father was still alive she probably would have survived. But she simply could not face the world without her family and died of sorrow. Her camp was only (if I remember right) 2 weeks away from being freed. So close.

Wow such a tragic story!! Google the USS liberty incident

Y’all half a century late

What’s up with August? August 6th is when Japan was bombed, August 4th when Ann’s and the others were arrested. Like ???

When even the FBI is trying their best to find the snitch.

This man is taking snitches get stitches a little too seriously lol he’s looking for a ghost at this point

“In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart”. Poor Anne. Her story always makes me sad. She did have more heart than most of us alive today.

They hid for like 2 years. They were set. The best hiding place. Outside help. There's no way there was no someone betraying them

I hope they find whoever gave them up

Did you know Anna Frank and Martin Luther king Jr were born on the same day and year

I’m so glad that they are doing this to honor her.

Her being trapped in her attic reminds me of being in lockdown

its so sad because she got famous because she died, if she didnt die her dream wouldve never come true. *let that sink in for a couple of seconds*

At least Anne got her wish: she is now a famous writer.

So uh, are we gonna throw their skeleton in jail when we catch them or what?

So the ancestors can feel guilty about it? What's the point.

To what end? Are they going to drag the relatives through the mud to... make themselves feel better?

R.I.P to Anne, Margot, and Edith Frank (if you dont know who the last two are they are her older sister Margot and her mother Edith)

Why would anybody betray a blind deaf girl. So sad.

It has been 2 years since this video... any updates?
