But despite the many worksjournalism, books, plays and novelsdevoted to Annes story, none has ever conclusively explained how these eight people managed to live in hiding undetected for over two yearsand 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 documentssome never before seenand interviewed scores of descendants of people familiar with the Franks.
