  8. Yes because… • She could understand Russian • DNA tests proved that she wasn’t FranziskaSchanzkowksa, a Polish worker who went missing in 1920 • Anna’s ear matched Anastasia’s ear in a matching test - ears are unique for everyone • Close relatives of Anastasia recognized her right away • She remembered only things Anastasia could have known such as her nickname for an old man

  9. No because… • She refused to speak Russian, therefore leading people to believe she didn’t know it • DNA tests proved she wasn’t Anastasia Romanov • DNA tests proved she was more closely related to FranziskaSchanzkowska • Close relatives of Anastasia denied that Anna could be her
