Who betrayed Anne Frank

Anne at the windowof her hiding place in the night, imagines a deer in the garden

A collage of the moment when everything fell apart. People screaming, fighting, pointing fingers at each other

Polaroids of All of the people involved in the scandal on an investigative board

An old picture of the person who was blamed, with the incriminating note stuck to his face

A rubik cube with all of the clues painted on the little squares

the book, weighted down by warnings, danger sign, warning tape

Pointy pins, with the pointy part turned up, left on the ground

Cover for a very sticky story: a team in the Netherlands set up a few years ago to discover, now 78 years later or so, who betrayed Anne Frank and her family.

Long story short they did not discover it, or to be precise they didn’t discover anything that wasn’t already known -but a name had to be found, and in the end everything spiralled in quite the scandal.
