The Gestapo, short for "Geheime Staatspolizei" (Secret State Police), was the official secret police of Nazi Germany. Established in 1933, it played a crucial role in the regime's oppressive tactics, targeting political dissidents, Jews, and other groups deemed undesirable. Known for its brutal methods, including surveillance, arrest, and torture, the Gestapo operated without judicial oversight, instilling fear throughout German society. Its activities contributed significantly to the enforcement of Nazi policies and the Holocaust.

Who betrayed Anne Frank and her family when they were in 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.
