The Anne Frank House in Amsterdam
The Dutch publishers of a new book about the betrayal of Anne Frank have delayed a decision about a second print run pending 'answers from the investigative team to questions that have arisen' following the publication earlier this month.
Ambo Anthos said in a letter to its authors that it apologised to everyone who felt offended by the book,
which claims a Jewish notary was 85% certain to have handed the Frank's secret address to the Nazis.
The publisher, which bought the Dutch rights to the book four years ago, now says it should have been more critical about the book
Who Betrayed Anne Frank? and that it had been caught up in the momentum toward its international unveiling.
The book was launched to a highly orchestrated publicity onslaught, including very strict rules for journalists given an advance copy.
According to the
Volkskrant, individual
journalists who were given exclusive access to the book were asked to sign a secrecy agreement and told that they would be held personally liable for any leaks about it ahead of the agreed publication date.
The deal prevented journalists from approaching other experts to check and verify facts about the book, which nevertheless generated headlines around the world, and was the subject of a CBS documentary.
CriticismSince then, several critics have come forward to express their concerns about the '85% certain' theory that
a notary and member of the Jewish Council named Arnold van den Bergh handed a list of addresses where Jews were hiding to the Nazis out of self preservation.
Several historians have noted there is no evidence that the Jewish Council had a record of addresses where people were hiding. And John D. Goldsmith, head of the Basel-based Anne Frank Fund, which was founded by Otto Frank, said in a Swiss newspaper interview that the book is 'full of mistakes'.
He also said he was concerned about the ramifications of the claim that a Jew betrayed Jews. This, he said, is what he fears will stick in people's memory.
TheoriesThere have been many theories about who betrayed Anne Frank and the seven others in hiding in the secret annex on Amsterdam's Prinsengracht in 1944.
In 2016, the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam published its own research suggesting the Frank family may not have been betrayed when their hiding place was raided in August 1944 but that the secret annex was found by accident.
Meanwhile, the new book's lead researcher Pieter van Twisk has said he is working on a reaction to the criticism and added that his team never said they had definitely uncovered the truth.

Gyรถrgy Schwartz, aka "Soros", one of the most hated and dangerous individuals on Planet Earth, called on the West to overthrow Xi Jinping three days before the Olympics.
The Hungarian Nazi-Jewish billionaire, with an American passport and founder of the Open Society Foundation, three days before the opening of the Beijing Olympics, called on the West to persuade China to change leadership, that is, to let Xi Jinping leave office as head of the Chinese state.
Soros said this during a lecture at Stanford University, an excerpt of which was posted on his Twitter.
According to Soros, the international community should persuade China to change the political regime.
"This will remove the biggest threat open societies face today and they should do everything possible to encourage China to move in the desired direction," Soros said.
According to Soros, China has become "the most powerful authoritarian state in the world".
At the same time, as Soros assures, Xi Jinping, unlike former Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping, truly believes in communism and considers Mao Zedong and Vladimir Lenin to be his idols.
At the same time, Soros does not describe a specific mechanism for forcing Xi Jinping to leave his post.
Maybe he means that the Chinese Maidan needs to be organized? Although in 1989 the Maidan in Beijing has already taken place and ended with the well-known events in Tiananmen Square.
Is realty, that all of those PSICOPHATICS around the WORLD, must to be JAILED as soon as Possible.....
If memory serves, it had to do with I think Anne's father fixing the manuscript, again I think, with a ball point pen. Sorry I can't be more specific.
Zionist Jews kill Jews but not Zionist Jews, wouldn't that be Antisemitic? Khazarian Nazi Bastardes.
Then they broke through in a new way and rolled over the pathetic French forces with misguided leadership.
After that, the leadership was so misguided from just about all angles and frankly it still is.
I wonder when the leadership is gonna sing it's swan song of the 20th century and
all the wrong ideas been pushed by a few trying to hold onto ideas with no merit.
Kropotkin knew the answer 100 years ago and even longer than that and
he is not alone and we know.
Now or never is the time
to put an end to ideas
who have outlived
their usefulness.
This is what happens when you get complacent, and try the fight the last war.
A lesson even today's politicians could learn from. If they could ...
propagandahistory lessons in schoolFrance was safe from Germany due to the magnificent Maginot line, but Belgium was neutral so did not have any defences. The evil Huns did the unthinkable and just by-passed the Maginot line defences by going through Belgium
As a kid we just accepted what they spoon-fed us, but now it sounds like the Germans did the eminently sensible and obvious thing
Speed and capacity of tanks increased tenfold since WWI, the same is true for airplanes. Electronics and communication entered the equation, and entirely new inventions and weapons were introduced. Like shaped charges to crack open Eben Emael, or missile weapons ...

I've just actually had another idea, so I'll share. Place a few "pockets" of helium in your big balloon and then it will take much less energy to heat up the remaining ambient air.....much less energy to achieve "flotation" ---- anyhow, what could be better than a nice easy moving big balloon for travel? Of course, we would need to "trust each other" not to play dirty tricks and such cause a nice slow moving easy safe balloon for viewing is an easy target - it was even in WWI.

The primary consumer of Helium is NASA .... They're big in the balloon business

Did I ever tell you how much I like the image you present....oh yes, I think I did. When I said it I meant it and I still mean it now!
Lets do what needs to be done and lets get it over with is what I think.
Well, it's been a while since I looked into all of this, but I think I started with David Irving. His books are huge, and I didn't have the time for them, but I listened to many of his online lectures (Churchill's War was a good one). I also used to regularly listen to Deanna Spingola on Republic Broadcasting Network, and she covered revisionist history extensively, with tons of good guests, including Germar Rudolf.
