The Betrayal of Anne Frank: A Cold Case Investigation

 
　　感動無數讀者的《安妮的日記》，記錄了少女安妮一家四口在二戰期間，為躲避納粹的迫害，與其他四人藏匿在小閣樓，直到祕密警察破門而入、將他們送往集中營的故事。多年來，儘管有數量龐大的紀實作品、戲劇、小說，不斷重新訴說安妮的故事，卻沒有任何一部作品能夠解釋，為何這八個人能夠成功躲避納粹的查緝網，安靜藏身長達兩年，又是什麼原因，讓他們最終被發現。
 
　　如今，運用最新科技、新出土文件、熟練的偵查技巧，一個由退休FBI探員帶領的調查小組，試圖解開眾多讀者心中的謎團：是誰暴露了安妮．法蘭克一家的藏身處？
 
　　這個團隊竭盡心力，仔細研讀數量龐大的檔案、採訪眾多關聯人士，還原法蘭克一家被捕前的關鍵時刻，並得到了令人震撼的結論。
 
　　本書紀錄了這個精采、引人入勝的追查過程，帶領我們認識這些孜孜不倦的調查者，以及案件的中心人物──嫌疑犯與被害者們。本書更生動重現了戰時人心惶惶的阿姆斯特丹，在那裡，無論你多麼富有、是否受過良好教育、多麼小心謹慎，你永遠不知道自己能夠信任誰。(文/博客來編譯)

　　Less a mystery unsolved than a secret well kept...

　　Using new technology, recently discovered documents and sophisticated investigative techniques, an international team—led by an obsessed retired FBI agent—has finally solved the mystery that has haunted generations since World War II: Who betrayed Anne Frank and her family? And why?

　　Over thirty million people have read The Diary of a Young Girl, the journal teen-aged Anne Frank kept while living in an attic with her family and four other people in Amsterdam during World War II, until the Nazis arrested them and sent them to a concentration camp. But despite the many works—journalism, books, plays and novels—devoted to Anne’s story, none has ever conclusively explained how these eight people managed to live in hiding undetected for over two years—and who or what finally brought the Nazis to their door.

　　With painstaking care, retired FBI agent Vincent Pankoke and a team of indefatigable investigators pored over tens of thousands of pages of documents—some never before seen—and interviewed scores of descendants of people familiar with the Franks. Utilizing methods developed by the FBI, the Cold Case Team painstakingly pieced together the months leading to the infamous arrest—and came to a shocking conclusion. 

　　The Betrayal of Anne Frank: A Cold Case Investigation is the riveting story of their mission. Rosemary Sullivan introduces us to the investigators, explains the behavior of both the captives and their captors and profiles a group of suspects. All the while, she vividly brings to life wartime Amsterdam: a place where no matter how wealthy, educated, or careful you were, you never knew whom you could trust.
