Controversy Over Anne Frank's Diary Authorship

The original diary manuscript was forensically examined by the German State Forensic Bureau,

the Bundeskriminalamt. Their analyses determined that significant portions of the work were written with a ballpoint pen.

Since ballpoint pens were not available to everyone before 1951,

portions of the work were added well after the war.

Handwriting experts determined after closer examination of the originals that all of the

None of the diary handwriting matched known examples of Anne's real handwriting.

The true author of the diary was Jewish novelist Meyer Levine,

who demanded and was awarded $50,000 in payments for his work

in a court action against Anne's father, Otto Frank.

The truth about the Anne Frank diary was first exposed in 1959

by the Swedish journal Fria Od.

It established that the Jewish novelist Meyer Levine had written

the dialogue of the diary and was demanding payment for his work

in a court action against Otto Frank.

An extract from the Swedish articles appeared in the American Economic Council Letter, April 15, 1959, as follows.

History has many examples of myths that live a longer

and richer life than truth, and may become more effective than truth.

The Western world has for some years been made aware

of a Jewish girl through the medium of what purports to be her personally written story, Anne Frank's diary.

Any informed literary inspection of this book would have shown

it to have been impossible as the work of a teenager.

A noteworthy decision of the New York State Supreme Court

confirms this point of view, in that the well-known American Jewish writer,

Meyer Levine,

has been awarded $50,000 to be paid him

by the father of Anne Frank as an honorarium

for Levine's work on the Anne Frank diary.

Evidence compiled by Dr. Robert Farrison of France establishes

that the famous diary is a literary hoax.

After doing substantial research, Professor Farrison stated,

Anne Frank is only a simple literary fraud.
