NEWSBRIEFS Cold-case Investigators Say Jew Betrayed
Anne Frank’s Family
RESEARCHERS SAID THE PERSON who betrayed
Anne Frank and her family 80 years ago was a Jewish
notary forced to work for the Nazis, JTA reported.
A cold-case team working for six years to identify
the persons responsible for the discovery of the
Franks by Nazi authorities in occupied Amsterdam
said Arnold van den Bergh, a notary and a member
of the Jewish Council, which the Nazis established to
control Dutch Jews, was the betrayer. He survived the
Holocaust and died in 1950.
“The Betrayal of Anne Frank,” a book published
Jan. 17 by the Canadian author Rosemary Sullivan,
details the accusation.
Anne Frank’s father, Otto, had said in the past
that his family had been betrayed by Jews, but never
publicly named van den Bergh.
Dutch Jewish leaders say the accusation uncon-
vincingly and possibly unfairly blames the betrayal
on a Jew who cannot defend himself.
Sweden, which has a population of about 10 million
people, has about 14,900 people who self-identify
as Jews, according to a 2020 demographic study of
European Jewry.
Hate crimes against Muslims, who make up about
8% of the population, accounted for 51% of the hate
crimes against religious groups police documented
in 2020, according to a Swedish National Council for
Crime Prevention report published in December.
There were 170 antisemitic hate crimes and 328
anti-Muslim crimes documented in 2020.
The council noted that while antisemitism figures
dropped sharply from the 280 incidents reported in
2018 — the last time the report was compiled — there
were structural changes in the latest report and that
the prevalence of antisemitic crimes may not have
decreased. preservation of European historical sites — such as
cemeteries, monuments and Holocaust killing sites —
associated with the heritage of U.S. citizens.
Beattie, who is Jewish, was a Trump speechwriter
until it was revealed in 2018 that he had attended
a conference of the H.L. Mencken Club two years
earlier. There he appeared on a panel with white
nationalist Peter Brimelow.
