passport photos of Anne Frank

A cold case team is searching for who betrayed Anne Frank

75 years after her arrest, investigators are still exploring how the Nazis discovered the Dutch teen and her family.

Anne Frank is pictured in passport photos in 1939, before she and her family were forced into hiding. The Franks tried to immigrate to the United States twice, but bureaucracy and tight U.S. immigration regulations at the time kept the family in Amsterdam.
