A suspect who may have betrayed Anne Frank and her family to the Nazis has been identified in a new investigation.

The Jewish diarist died in a Nazi concentration camp in 1945, aged 15, after two years in hiding.

A team of historians and other experts said Arnold van den Bergh, a Jewish figure in Amsterdam, probably "gave up" the Franks to save his own family.

Anne Frank’s diary, published after her death, is the most famous first-hand account of Jewish life during the war.
