Do you know that Hollywood scriptwriter Meyer Levin received a $50 000 court ordered payment after winning a legal case against Anne's father Otto Frank for writing the "diary"?

Two articles which go into detail about how the "diary" is fake.

I have never heard anything about Levin writing the Diary, though if I recall correctly he was instrumental in getting it translated into English and published in the US. He did write the first stage version, which was rejected as being "too Jewish" - he struggled for years to get permission for it to be performed.
The Diary has been authenticated as the work of Anne Frank.
In my case, self-absorption is completely justified.
Try reading this.
"Because of the persistent accusations against the diary of Anne Frank in the1960’s and 70’s, a number of investigations were carried out into the diary’s authenticity, partly on Otto Frank’s initiative. The most extensive investigation was carried out in the first half of the 1980’s by the Netherlands Forensic Institute at the request of the National Institute for War Documentation. The results of this research were presented in a report of over 250 pages. The main section of the report is taken up with the findings of a detailed handwriting comparison, but a forensic document analysis was also carried out. The Diaries of Anne Frank, theso-called "Critical Edition" that was published by the NIOD in 1986, contains a 65-page summary of the Forensic Institute report. The NIOD concludes: "(...) thereport of the Netherlands Forensic Institute has convincingly demonstrated that both versions of the diary of Anne Frank were written by her in the years 1942 to1944. The allegations that the diary was the work of someone else (...) are thusconclusively refuted." (The Diary of Anne Frank. The Revised Critical Edition, 2003, p. 186
Earlier research had also beendone before the Forensic Institute’s investigation in the 1980’s. In 1959, Anne Frank’s manuscripts were studied by graphologists (handwriting experts) in Germany, as part of the preparations for a legal action that was brought by Otto Frank. In March 1960, the Hamburg graphologists came to the conclusion in their 131-page report that all the notations in the diaries and the loose sheets, and all the corrections and additions, were ‘identical’ with Anne’s handwriting. The report also concluded that the loose sheets were not written before the three diary books. Finally, the conclusion was made that ‘‘(...) the text published in German translation as Das Tagebuch der Anne Frank maybe considered true to its sources in substance and ideas." (The Diary of Anne Frank: The Revised Critical Edition, 2003, p. 87.) A very limited investigation also took place in Germany in 1980, also in preparation for legal proceedings, and this time carried out by the Federal Criminal Police Office (the Bundeskriminalamt or BKA) in Wiesbaden. The BKA came to the conclusion that all the types of paper and ink used were manufactured before 1950, and could therefore have been used in the war years. "

The New York Times now states that Otto Frank is listed as the co-author - http://forum.codoh.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9924
shareWhy, why, why? Anti-Semitism and Holocaust denial are prevalent enough already without the apparent intervention of Dad/Otto in the final production of "Anne's diary". If he thought he couldn't publish portions, or could only publish them with editing, then "Frankly", he should not have bothered at all. The real Anne is the Anne we want to know, not some Dad-modified phantasm.
shareMuch ado about nothing. Otto's been long dead. It has nothing to do with anything Anne wrote other than this being one organizations way of extending the copyright.
shareSeriously?!? We do not own Anne. Mr. Frank had every right to edit the diary... among the editing was likely spelling, punctuation, or grammar mistakes... as any editor would do. He was also quite entitled to edit anything that could have proven embarrassing to the families.
shareYes, that was merely done so to extend the ownership of the copyright. Proves nothing other than they want to hold onto the rights.
shareIt is not much ado about nothing. It proves that they are liars. For years and years they said that Anne Frank was the sole author of the diary. Does the truth mean nothing to you? People who said that Otto Frank was co author have been prosecuted in Europe under the "holocaust denial" laws -

Otto edited the diary, this is the reason because he's listed as "co-author". The revised critical edition proved the authenticity of the diary, I think that the accusations of people like you are ridiculous and offensives.
shareGet over yourself and get a life. It's already been explained multiple times on this thread. Your continuing to harp on the same drool won't make it valid.
The truth means everything to me. That's why I don't buy into your desperate, twisted nazi-nonsense.
People should not be sent to jail for questioning the authenticity of a diary. Especially in countries that call themselves "democracies". You bring out the clichéd accusation that anyone who doesn't buy the holocaust propaganda is a "nazi". For your information there are Jews who are holocaust revisionists -

Is the black columnist from Veterans Today Jonas E Alexis a "nazi" ?

Holocaust revisionism does not equate to Holocaust Denial or to anti-Semitism. Holocaust revisionism is simply one instantiation of the science of historical studies, which inherently revises its claims and data through a constant process of investigation. This of course applies to the Holocaust as well as to every other aspect of, and every event within, history. For example, the Battle of the Little Bighorn ("Custer's Last Stand") has always undergone revision based on journals, letters, archaeological digs, etc. - did Custer's troops cross the river or were they repulsed by Amerind fire - if not, how to explain 7th Cavalry artifacts on the "Indian side" of the river - was Custer shot by gun or killed by arrows - did Benteen deliberately delay in supporting Custer...etc.
Revisionism is utterly crucial to the modern study of history and researchers have the complete right to revise aspects of the Holocaust that need revision without being labeled as racists, lunatics, or Nazis.

Don't twist my words. I never said that they should pal. I believe in free speech. I just don't believe in this sick-minded drool that your trying to pass off about the holocaust and I've already addressed these issues about Anne Frank with you over and over and you keep twisting the issue or changing the subject or making the same lame comments.
"Especially in countries that call themselves "democracies".
I agree. Free speech has to rule in a free nation. Take the problem up with those countries. not me. I NEVER said I was in favor of that. You just keep going off message and sending me the same nonsense about the subject at hand.
"You bring out the clichéd accusation that anyone who doesn't buy the holocaust propaganda is a "nazi". "
Yeah you betcha. The fact that you call it propaganda is the sickening in of itself. One quarter of my whole extended family was wiped out. Great-grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins and all their families. It was as if they were all here one day and gone the next. To call it propaganda, let alone the horrific crap you try to pass off as fact is beyond words. There are still people in who are still uncovering mass graves of Jews and many others that were not ever recorded. This whole line of thought is just crazy.
You don't question the millions of Germans, Russians, Chinese, Japanese etc who were killed, but the Jews, yes.
If you have a problem with the state of Israel, I get it. As a Jew, I have for years actively protested the horrors perpetrated by the Zionist movement and the government of Israel. But they are not representative of all Jews and even if they have gone off the rails it, it has nothing to do with the loss of millions of people in the camps of Jews, Poles, Catholics, Priests, Nuns, Gypsies, Homosexuals, etc.
For your information there are Jews who are holocaust revisionists -

"For your information there are Jews who are holocaust revisionists"
OMG, I've seen and read and heard this before. And at best your point is purely bad sophistry worthy of the old tired commercials that used to claim that 4 out of 5 doctors say that smoking cigarettes is good for you, lol.
Do all Christians agree on key issues of their history? All Muslims? Republicans? Democrats, lol? Why do you even begin to think that a few Jews thinking as you do, makes this nonsense a truth? It's crazy. I and the rest of my family and numerous people that I know suffered from the insanity of the camps. All us Jews didn't meet in a private room and ask our family members to just disappear off the face of the earth! The holocaust survivors just didn't get together in all the many camps and say, hey let's exaggerate this and get some attention. The soldiers that liberated the camps and saw all the dead bodies and the near dead and starved and ill didn't just get together and conspire. That is insane!
Do you have a problem with Israel using it as an excuse to continue to do terrible things? Go for it I agree. I also feel that Israel should not have been created as it was. There were many Jews who were against that as well, Like I said we all don't move in lock step---- Neither did the Germans.
