Book Reviews of Anastasia: The Riddle of Anna Anderson
Book Review: Don't Confuse Mr. Kurth With the Facts
Summary: 1 Stars
Peter Kurth's insistence in holding to the belief that Anna Anderson was the daughter of Tsar Nicholas II is nothing less than pathetic. He tries, with no success, to discount and even ignore the DNA evidence indicating otherwise. On his web site, Kurth makes such feeble arguments such as DNA tests results cannot explain why Anna Anderson was fluent in English from an early age and a cultured lady. He is correct, but what DNA evidence can explain is that Anna Anderson is in no way genetically related to Nicholas II, the Empress Alexandra or any other member of the Romanov family. Kurth also points to the fact that two skeletons were missing and not re-buried in St. Petersburg. The two missing skeletons were those of Alexi and Maria; Anastasia's remains were identified. Now the missing skeletons have been found, in a grave near where the others were buried, and they are a genetic match with the Romanov remains.
If you are looking for a scholarly work on the subject, don't buy this book. Peter Kurth's attitude of don't confuse me with the facts cast serious doubt on all of his work.
