This is a non-fiction account of the investigation into the betrayal of the Frank family near the end of WWII. After successfully hiding for over two years, the family as well as three others living with them were exposed and arrested. All died in concentration camps with the exception of the father, Otto Frank. This intensive examination was conducted by a former FBI agent brought out of retirement along with his team of forensic specialists, geneticists, historians, IT specialists as well as multiple lay volunteers. Although this work by Rosemary Sullivan could have been dry and hard to collate, it reads like an expertly written, suspense novel or murder mystery. Which in fact it was.
As
well as being an astonishing piece of investigative work, it is a disturbing, extensive
and informative exploration of what human beings are capable of and can endure.
