If someone wanted to search the premises they would notice the rear house, they would notice that it had multiple floors, and they would demand entry.

If one suspects illegal activity and people hiding there, naturally one would be interested more in the side buildings and corners than into the main building, anyway. One thing is that the Frank's as well as their friends... were involved in a rationing-ticket scam. Something like this wouldn't go unnoticed and it would also draw suspicion and anger of people that are disadvantaged by this. It's merely a surprise that they could stand in hiding for so long. Otto Frank was also a previous supplier to the German Army (Wehrmacht).


Lee's more shocking claim is that in 1964, after the diary had been turned into a hit play and then a movie, and an investigation had begun into the betrayal of the Franks, Ahlers seems to have able to intimidate Frank again. He wrote Frank's arresting officer, an old friend of his who was then being vilified in the press, ''It would cost me little to prove that Otto Frank . . . delivered to the Wehrmacht in 1941 and was a profiteer and betrayer of his own kind.'' ...
