"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…
Nobody has found out who discovered the Franks... Many assumptions have been made, but no one knows "who" betrayed the Franks.

∙ 12y agoTo this day nobody knows who betrayed the people in the secret annexe. Three separate criminal investigations after the war found nowhere near enough evidence to charge anybody with the crime. Given that it is now 67 years since the betrayal of those in the annex, it is likely that the answer will never be known to that question. Theories? Rumors? - many of them. But facts- no.
Anne Frank and her family were discovered hiding in Amsterdam by the Nazi SS officer Karl Silberbauer on August 4, 1944.
