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.

ISRAELBRIEFS Arrow 3 Anti-ballistic Missile System Successfully Tested
ISRAEL’S DEFENSE MINISTRY said it successfully tested
its Arrow 3 anti-ballistic missile system on Jan. 18 outside the
Earth’s atmosphere, Th e Times of Israel reported.
Defense Ministry’s Missile Defense Organization head Moshe
Patel said the trial tested several “breakthrough” capabilities for
the missile defense system, which the Israeli Air Force can now use.
Th e live-fi re test involved two Arrow 3 interceptors being fi red
at the same target.
“Th e operational radar arrays of the Arrow system detected
the target and sent the data to the fi re management system,
which analyzed the data and fully plotted the interception. Once
the plans were completed, two Arrow 3 interceptors were fi red
at the target, and they completed their mission successfully,” the
Defense Ministry said in a statement.
Israel to Buy Three Submarines from Germany
Israel’s Defense Ministry announced on Jan. 22 that it signed a
deal with Germany’s Th yssenkrupp Marine Systems to develop
and produce three diesel-electric advanced submarines for the
Israeli Navy, Th e Jerusalem Post reported.
Th e $3.4 billion cost is more than double the original estimate,
but the German government will pay a third of the cost, as per an
agreement the countries signed in 2017.
Th e deal “signifi cantly strengthens Israel’s national security.
Th e purchase of the submarines will ensure continuity in our
capabilities and strategic superiority for years to come,” Prime
Minister Naft ali Bennett said.
It will take up to nine years for the fi rst submarine to be deliv-
ered. Th e deal includes the construction of a training simulator
in Israel and a supply of spare parts.
Israel Passes 2M COVID-19 Cases
Israel passed the 2 million mark in COVID-19 on Jan. 18,
according to the Health Ministry, Th e Jerusalem Post reported.
Th ere were a record-breaking 72,120 new cases that day. It was
the third day in a row of record numbers of new cases.
Health Ministry Director-General Professor Nachman Ash
said the number of new infections could actually be much higher
and that Israel hasn’t seen an omicron peak yet.
“Our estimate is that there are at least two or three times
that,” Ash said. “It is not impossible that we stand at 200,000
verifi ed cases a day.”
As of Jan. 18, the death toll from COVID-19 in Israel stood at
8,350. Th ere were 393,785 active cases that day and an additional
218,874 people in quarantine.

Unemployment Keeps Falling
Th e unemployment rate in Israel fell from 4.6% in November to
4.1% in December, according to Central Bureau of Statistics data,
Globes reported.
Meantime, broad unemployment — which includes people who
stopped working at the start of the pandemic — fell from 6.5% to
6%; that beat a forecast from the Bank of Israel projecting broad
unemployment of 6.7% at year’s end. Th e bureau said 262,000 people
are not part of the workforce because of reasons tied to the pandemic.
Th e number of Israelis participating in the workforce declined
slightly, from 60.2% in November to 60.1%.
Th e bureau said the number of job vacancies is on the rise, as
are salaries. ●
