3.5 starts rounded down. I thought it was a really interesting book about the Netherlands during WWII. Do I think they can say with certainty that they know who betrayed the Frank’s? No. I still felt like the conclusion they reached was definitely plausible and it was fascinating to read about how they got there, but the evidence they have does not lead to a definitive conclusion, which was disappointing for me.

This was quite good but I admit that I like almost anything narrated by Julia Whelan. I'm not sure if I would've liked it as much otherwise. It did seem like a lot of info for something that isn't conclusive.

woah!!!!!!! the info is obviously amazing and provides an easy-to-understand narration of this investigation. this is definitely a controversial subject but as a jew i appreciate that these things are still being talked about across the world

While this is dry at times, I feel like I learned so much. I think there is a romanticisation surrounding how we relate to the Holocaust. This book really corrects a lot of national narratives when it comes to the very real ethnic cleansing of Jews from Europe. I had no idea that 75% of Dutch Jews were exterminated.

Definitely an interesting read!!! Though we don't know for sure the person named at the end was the one who actually betrayed Anne and the others. Even though numerous pieces of evidence points to indications as to why the team reached the conclusion they did, I felt that we may never really know for sure who betrayed them.
