Who caught Anne Frank while she was hiding in the secret annex?

Answer 1

The Franks, the Van Daan( or Van Pels), and Mr. Dussel stayed in the "Secret Annexe" over two years before they were found and arrested by the Germans and transported to concentration camps. "It was around ten-thirty. I was upstairs with the Van Daans in Peter's room and I was helping him with his schoolwork. I was showing him the mistake in the dictation when suddenly someone came running up the stairs. The stairs were squeaking, I stood up, because it was still early in the morning and everyone was supposed to be quiet - then the door opened and a man was standing right in front of us with a gun in his hand and it was pointed at us." -Otto Frank

Friday, August 4, 1944, was a day like any other day. The helpers were working in the office in the front part of the building. Upstairs, the people in hiding were quietly going about their business. Suddenly, out front on the Prinsengracht, a vehicle came to a halt. Out jumped an SS-officer and three Dutch policemen. They entered the building and went directly to the office. Victor Kugler had to escort them to the Secret Annex. The people in hiding had been betrayed...

Answer 3

In an excerpt from the book:

Friday, August 4, 1944, is a day like any other day. The helpers are working in the office in the front part of the building. Upstairs, the people in hiding are quietly going about their business. Suddenly, out front on the Prinsengracht, a vehicle comes to a halt. Out jumps an SS-officer and three Dutch policeman. They enter the building and go directly to the office. Victor Kugler must escort them to the Secret Annex. The people in hiding have been betrayed.

Answer 4

Anne Frank and her family were caught after someone called in an anonymous tip to the headquarters of the German Security Service. The family was then arrested by a security officer named Karl Silberbauer.

Answer 5

The Franks were betrayed. The identity of the informer is unknown and is likely to remain so.

Most people say that a guy named Maarten Kuiper betrayed them whom is known for betraying many Jews. However, others say that is was a member of the Nazi Party named Tonny Ahlers.

Answer 6

Some one betrayed her family to the Green Police (Gestapo). Sadly, no one really know who. Three separate criminal investigations after the war failed to find enough evidence against anyone to prosecute.

Answer 7

Anne Frank and the other 7 residents in the secret annex were discovered on August 4 1944 after hiding in the annex for 2 years and one month. The German police was following a tip from a unknown informer. They were arrested and giving 10 minutes to pack their things. That would be the last time that 7 of those 8 would ever be free again. All 7 (Including Anne Frank) died in camps and Otto Frank (Anne's dad) was the only Survivor.

Answer 8

The Butterfly Pavilion is a great place to take the entire family, and with an entire group children get in free. The 2 dollar coupons can be applied to your adult passes, meaning the whole family can have a fun day out for about ten dollars at the most, which is a great deal all around.

Answer 9

The people downstairs working, heard the Frank family and called the Nazi police.

Answer 10

Anne, her family, and 4 other people where betrayed when someone told the police where they were hiding.
