A Dutch publisher has suspended printing of a book that suggested a Jewish notary betrayed Anne Frank, saying there were questions about the research behind it, according to an internal email seen by\u00a0Reuters<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Betrayal of Anne Frank\u201d released on Jan. 18 caused a sensation when it said investigators had named Arnold van den Bergh as the main suspect. Other researchers later criticized the findings,\u00a0saying they were \u201cfull of errors<\/strong><\/span>.\u201d<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

The publisher of the Dutch-language edition, Ambo Anthos, said in an email to its own authors on Monday morning that it should have taken a more \u201ccritical stance\u201d on the publication.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe await the answers from the researchers to the questions that have emerged and are delaying the decision to print another run,\u201d the email from the Amsterdam firm said. \u201cWe offer our sincere apologies to anyone who might feel offended by the book.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It did not go into details on the questions and the firm declined to comment further when contacted by\u00a0Reuters<\/em>. There was no immediate response to requests for comment from representatives of the author, Rosemary Sullivan, or from the book\u2019s English-language publisher, HarperCollins.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the investigators quoted in the book, Pieter van Twisk, told\u00a0Reuters<\/em>\u00a0he had seen the email and the research team was \u201ccompletely surprised\u201d by its message.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a meeting last week with the editors and talked about the criticism and why we felt it could be deflected and agreed we would come with a detailed reaction later,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The book detailed the conclusions of a six-year cold case investigation into the mystery of how the Nazis found the hiding place of the famous diarist in 1944.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anne and seven other Jews were discovered by the Nazis on Aug. 4 of that year, after they had hid for nearly two years in a secret annex above a canal-side warehouse in Amsterdam. All were deported and Anne died in the Bergen Belsen camp at age 15.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her diary about life in hiding inspired millions of readers worldwide and has been translated into 60 languages.<\/span><\/p>\n

A team that included a retired US FBI agent and around 20 historians, criminologists and data specialists identified Arnold van den Bergh, a relatively unknown figure, as a leading suspect in revealing the hideout.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among those questioning the research are the foundation set up by Anne Frank\u2019s father, the Basel-based Anne Frank Fund, and historian Erik Somers of the Dutch NIOD institute for war, holocaust and genocide studies.<\/span><\/p>\n
