ROUNDING UP SUSPECTS

First and foremost on Otto’s mind is a man named Wilhelm van Maarem. This man was not privy to the secret. He was new to the company and couldn’t have known that they were hidden in the rear annex behind a bookcase. But he was already suspicious. So, he’d set up traps after work. It’s no wonder that Otto suspected him, but with further investigation, there wasn’t enough evidence to corroborate his theory.

THE PUBLISHED COPY

Otto seemed to have given up the search, but this was already after millions have read Anne’s diary when it was published. Just like the Frank family’s patriarch, they too wanted to know who the traitor was. Time went by and 73 years after Anne’s death, people have come up with theories, some based on research while others were simply hunches.
