This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= parameter to no to reactivate your request.
The section New theories about Anne Frank's arrest is largely uncited and contains POV-pushing and weasel words ("the highly credible possibility", "it is very likely", "it is reasonable to think"). I request a removal of all material which does not conform to Wikipedia's rules on verifiability and neutrality. ~2026-15352-75 (talk) 04:02, 10 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
Notdone for now: I think you're right that the section needs to be re-written, there is however a source and I'm not sure it should be completely deleted. Could you provide a specific proposal for the text in change x to y format? ScrubbedFalcon (talk) 12:40, 10 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

In the second paragraph of the lead, the second-to-last sentence is missing a word:
"As persecution of the Jewish population increased in July 1942, the family went into hiding a secret annex concealed behind a bookcase in the building where Frank's father, Otto Frank, worked."
Should probably be replaced with (added word in italics)
"As persecution of the Jewish population increased in July 1942, the family went into hiding in a secret annex concealed behind a bookcase in the building where Frank's father, Otto Frank, worked." ~2026-37480-13 (talk) 23:56, 30 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
