Chargement... The Betrayal of Anne Frank: A Cold Case Investigationpar Rosemary Sullivan
   Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) cspiwak | Mar 6, 2024 |  I found the case that the team made compelling, but of course I heard only their argument. Nonetheless, they put forth a plausible argument. Whether they're right or not, the book includes a lot of detail on the conduct of the various police forces and the occupying German troops and administrators during the war, as well as some good explanations about the Dutch resistance and how it worked. There's good detail on collaborators as well. I do have some complaints. The author talks about "the Microsoft AI" and "the AI database," but never describes the technology. I'm confident that there wasn't any magical tech at hand; they just digitized a bunch of stuff, made it easy to search, maybe wrote some good data science code to comb through it, look for patterns. It was good work, no doubt, but calling it "AI" seems like an attempt to legitimize their results because an artificial intelligence did the work. Not true -- it was a lot of investigative work by people. I found the book both interesting and informative. I've spent a great deal of time in Amsterdam and know the city well. I now have a wealth of new locations and events to weave into the story of this place. (  ) mikeolson2000 | Dec 27, 2023 |  ) Chef_Page_Mage | Feb 27, 2023 | Some history, some biography, and alot of detective work. Great flow to the chapters and well written. ( ) Rockhead515 | Dec 22, 2022 | The investigation t0ok five years, a team of people interviewing dozens of others and examining so much evidence of all different forms, and the development and use of brand new technology. It also explains why each of these are important in ways readers can understand. The book explains at length the historical and societal forces at work that I've never heard covered, and it added a richness and understanding I wouldn't have had otherwise. It doesn't pardon any of this, but it explains a lot. I'm so glad the investigative team succeeded in the ways that they did. I'm glad I sat down and read this.

HTML: Less a mystery unsolved than a secret well kept... Using new technology, recently discovered documents and sophisticated investigative techniques, an international teamâ??led by an obsessed retired FBI agentâ??has finally solved the mystery that has haunted generations since World War II: Who betrayed Anne Frank and her family? And why? Over thirty million people have read The Diary of a Young Girl, the journal teen-aged Anne Frank kept while living in an attic with her family and four other people in Amsterdam during World War II, until the Nazis arrested them and sent them to a concentration camp. But despite the many worksâ??journalism, books, plays and novelsâ??devoted to Anne's story, none has ever conclusively explained how these eight people managed to live in hiding undetected for over two yearsâ??and who or what finally brought the Nazis to their door. With painstaking care, retired FBI agent Vincent Pankoke and a team of indefatigable investigators pored over tens of thousands of pages of documentsâ??some never before seenâ??and interviewed scores of descendants of people familiar with the Franks. Utilizing methods developed by the FBI, the Cold Case Team painstakingly pieced together the months leading to the infamous arrestâ??and came to a shocking conclusion. The Betrayal of Anne Frank: A Cold Case Investigation is the riveting story of their mission. Rosemary Sullivan introduces us to the investigators, explains the behavior of both the captives and their captors and profiles a group of suspects. All the while, she vividly brings to life wartime Amsterdam: a place where no matter how wealthy, educated, or careful you were, you never knew whom you could trust.
