Suspicion of sedition
When the police arrived the fire was already out. The remains of the book were therefore a copy of the ‘Diary of Anne Frank’. After police action was taken, the suspects were handed over to their parents. The police have started an investigation on suspicion of sedition.
Hidden from the Nazis
Anne Frank’s family hid from the Nazis in a secret annex on Amsterdam’s Prinsengracht between 1942 and 1944. The world famous diary is said to have been written there. However, the Franks were betrayed and arrested by the Gestapo. 15-year-old Anne died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945. Only her father, Otto Frank, survived. He published his daughter’s diary and converted the house in Amsterdam into a museum.
