Shortly before the try-out one Dutch journalist writes that Anne Frank was betrayed. This is – as far as we know – the first time the betrayal-theory is mentioned in a Dutch newspaper. In a review of the try-out the correspondent of De Telegraaf writes: “The few Dutch people who attended the first performance - the usual try-out - imagined for a few hours that they were back in the oppressive atmosphere of the war years, when hunted people listened breathlessly to every unusual noise and day after day lives were doomed to end when betrayal or blind chance enabled the persecutors to strike. That this oppression could be felt with great intensity on a foreign stage through foreign actors and actresses (none of whom had experienced the war as a persecuted person) is little less than a triumph for director Garson Kanin. And whether in these first performances the dialogues are still a little stretched and the stage setting sometimes becomes too static, it is of little consequence those shortcomings will have been gloriously overcome by the day the play comes to New York's Broadway, on the 5th of October.” The unknown Telegraaf correspondent, who had in all likelihood lived in the Netherlands during the occupation, clearly doesn't write that Anne Frank was betrayed. He mentions: “When betrayal or blind chance...” In Dutch newspapers from after these two initial articles from 1955 the betrayal theory was presented as fact – which it still isn't.

From the conclusion: "Our investigation has not led us to the culprit. (…) Going into hiding with seven others in the
inner city of Amsterdam, a situation where you even
have to be afraid of the warehouse hand in your old
business and do not know what your neighbours are
thinking and doing, reduces your chance of
surviving. The annex could, and still can, be seen
by at least a hundred (and that is a very low
estimate) residents of the Keizersgracht, the
Leliegracht and the Westermarkt. Yet another betrayal theory is launched in Bep Voskuijl. Het zwijgen voorbij (Beyond the silence), the biography of Elisabeth "Bep" Voskuijl, one of the helpers of the people in hiding in the Secret Annex. In this book, written by Jeroen de Bruyn and Joop van Wijk, Nelly Voskuijl, a younger sister of Bep Voskuijl is named as the culprit. This theory was dismissed by the Anne Frank Stichting, as being completely unsubstantiated. Antonia Kleikamp, in Welt: "One of the authors, Joop van Wijk, is the youngest son of Bep Voskuijl - so in a way he is writing about the trauma of his own family. His mother never commented on the suspicion, but took her knowledge or suspicions to her grave in 1983. Nelly died in 2001 without having spoken out. De Bruyn and Van Wijk cite another Voskuijl sister, Diny, as well as Bep's fiancé to support their suspicions. But this is no more than intelligent
conjecture, not even circumstantial evidence, let
alone proof. And there is similar speculation about
other possible people responsible for the betrayal.
It is therefore very unlikely that the question of
who was responsible indirectly for Anne Frank's
death in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in
February 1945 can still be answered. ANP. 'Zus Bep Voskuijl mogelijk verrader van Anne Frank'.

Statement by Ambo | Anthos publishing house, Amsterdam, 14-02-2022. Inlay sheet – “In the book entitled Anne Frank's Betrayal , the impression is created that the Jewish notary Arnold van den Bergh is the traitor of Anne Frank, her family and the other people in hiding in the Secret Annex. On the basis of reactions of experts, we have realized that the conclusion of the investigation team, as if Arnold van den Bergh is very likely to be the traitor, does not find sufficient support in the available facts. We apologize to anyone who feels offended by this book. This applies especially to the next of kin and further family of Arnold van den Bergh.” https://www.amboanthos.nl/inlegvelHetverraadvanAnneFrank/ Redactie.
