A group of Dutch historians has published an in-depth criticism of the work and conclusion of a cold case team that said it had pieced together the "most likely scenario” of who betrayed Jewish teenage diarist Anne Frank and her family.

The cold case team's research, which was published early this year in the book The Betrayal Of Anne Frank: A Cold Case Investigation, by Canadian academic and author Rosemary Sullivan, immediately drew criticism in the Netherlands.
