According to a new study, the family not have been betrayed by a friend but rather just got found out by chance.
At The Anne Frank House museum, researchers have reportedly found that the Nazi raid on Anne's house could be over coupons for rationing of food.
On the 10th of March 1944, Anne wrote about the arrest of two men who supplied the family with ration cards...
"‘B and D have been caught, so we have no coupons…"But what's more interesting is that police records from the day the family were discovered by two men on August 4th 1944 show that the pair were never hired to hunt Jews down. Also the raid on the house is said to have taken two hours -much longer than a raid would take if you were tipped off and knew exactly what you were looking for. Who actually sneaked out the Frank family to the authorities? It doesn't look like we'll know for certain.
