There are a few suspects. One is Lena van Bladeren Hartog a cleaning lady who worked the offices beneath the secret annex. Another is Willem Van Maaren, a warehouse employee, who asked about the annex to the warehouse boss then asked for a raise. This is thought to be him asking for a bribe.

Anne Frank's father had planned to go into hiding for months. He told Meip to take Margot to the annex and keep her there until the rest of the family came into hiding with margot.
Anne Frank and her family, along with the other residents of the annex, were captured by the Nazi authorities during a raid on the building they were hiding in. The occupants were betrayed, and the Nazis discovered their hiding place, leading to their arrest and eventual deportation to concentration camps.
Someone told Gestapo where they were hiding. It's not known who told.
yes Anne frank lived in the time of the holocost with her family. the natiz tried to kill all Jews and Anne was one she hid in an office with her family and three other family's the stayed there for almost two years until some one told on them that they were hiding in the office.
No, there is no evidence to suggest that Margot Frank told on her family. The Frank family, including Margot, were discovered by the Nazis who were searching for Jews in hiding during World War II.
The annex where Anne Frank and her family were hiding was discovered on August 4, 1944, by German police following an anonymous tip. The anonymous tip was likely a result of a betrayal by someone who knew about their hiding place. The Frank family and the others in hiding were arrested and taken to concentration camps.
German Dutch police asked the employee Willliam Van Marren, if any Jews were in hiding that he knew about and William told the police where the Franks were hiding.
Despite three separate criminal investigations, the betrayer of those in the Annex was never identified. At this range (66 years since the betrayal) it is very likely the betrayer is dead. There were three people in particular the various investigations focused on, but no proof beyond doubt could be established for any of the three of them (and indeed - it may have been someone completely different). This is an area that abounds with amateur detective work and speculation, none of which carries any proof.
Anne Frank spent most of her time in hiding during World War II in the Secret Annex located in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Prior to going into hiding, she lived in Frankfurt, Germany, and later in Amsterdam. Anne's diary documents her experiences and thoughts during her time in hiding.
Anne Frank was discovered and arrested, along with her family and four others, on August 4, 1944. The discovery was not a coincidence. An anonymous person informed on the people hiding in the secret annex.
