In 1955 the theatre adaption of The Diary of Anne Frank (The Diary of a Young Girl) is performed on Broadway. 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.

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.

Is there any point in going through the Amsterdam Archive on all the individuals who lived there at the time and digging up their war past? We do not think so.

Firstly, not everybody was officially listed in the civic registry; secondly, not everyone’s criminal records are open for inspection in the National Archive;
thirdly, the betrayer need not necessarily have been on the wrong side politically (in spite of the evil nature of the deed); and fourthly, the betrayal could have been the work of a visitor to one of those residents or a casual passer-by.

It is therefore possible that chance has played a much greater role than has been assumed to date, and that there is less of a need to assume a deliberate attempt to deliver the Frank family and the four others into the hands of the Germans.”

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.

(...) In 2003, the renowned Dutch Institute for War Documentation published a study by historians David Barnouw and Gerrold van der Stroom, who thoroughly reviewed all the suspicions against van Maaren, Lena Hartog and Tonny Ahlers. Their conclusion was that none of them was sufficient to identify the traitor with any degree of certainty. Of course, Nelly Voskuijl does not appear in their study.”

In December 2016 the Anne Frank Stichting / Anne Frank House presented:
An Investigative Report on the Betrayal and Arrest of the Inhabitants of the Secret Annex by historian Gertjan Broek.  In it  the major theories surround-ing the capture of the people in hiding in the Secret Annex are reviewed. The conclusion is that no hard evidence exists for the alleged phone call, nor for any of the theories about betrayal. The capture could just as well have been a side catch during a search for stolen ration cards, or something else. For this also no hard evidence exists - but it is as valid a theory as the betrayal theory. 

And, more important than all theories, the fact remains that the Frank family and the other four people in hiding at 263 Prinsengracht Amsterdam  were murdered by the Nazis because they were Jews.  

Several months before the publication of this report Proditione Media, the company reponsible for the "cold case team" and "The Betrayal of Anne Frank" approached the Anne Frank Stichting in Amsterdam, and asked for cooperation in the project.

The Anne Frank Stichting (in 2017): "We shared our investigation [before publication - DM] into the arrest and opened the Anne Frank House for filming before opening time."

It was mostly a one way cooperation: except for a copy of the so called "Residence Project" Proditione Media didn't share any of its "findings" with the Anne Frank Stichting for comment or study purposes.

[Tanja Hendriks and Laurens Ubbink]. Inlegvel. 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.”
