I don't know which one of adequacy editors is still in love with that little girl and couldn't get over her innocent smiley face or her tear jacking diaries after these many years.

But honestly, it turns me off to write anything decent for my adequate well being. I request a personalized diary icon. And here is my recommendation

you would know that "that little girl" is Anne Frank.

Perhaps you should ask yourself if you truly adequate?

Don't be so quick to judge.

There is a large body of evidence that Anne Frank's diary was fake[1]. Unlike other "revisionist" "research", this was actually extremely well-researched and backed up with scientific methods.

[1] I won't post links, sorry, I'm too lazy. I assume that all you are "adequate", and are well-acquainted with Mr. Google.

Every paper I've been able to find claiming Anne Frank's diary to be fake was written by someone who was also a holocaust revisionist. Now granted, the arguments seem reasonably sound, but I'm certainly not going to reproduce all the research done by the author of the paper, so I have to be able to trust him. And it's difficult to trust the author when I know that his primary reason for embarking on the study is in an attempt to lessen evidence for the holocaust.

Perhaps you know of some papers by established history professors claiming it's a fake? It's difficult to find such things on Google. Is there a site where you can read history papers online, like there is for physics and math?

Yes, like I said in my original post:

Unlike other "revisionist" "research", this was actually extremely well-researched and backed up with scientific methods.

You are right, the "revisionist" guys are buffoons. Except that in this particular case, the research is quite solid and non-controvercial. And it is not as if Anne Frank's relatives are impartial third-party observers -- they most likely embellished the story quite a bit. Wouldn't you?

The respected historian David Irving, a fearless challenger of established myths, has made his views clear on the topic of Anne Frank.

It is dangerous to spread the truth though - Römer, another respected historian, claimed the diaries were fake only to be convicted in an emotional German court. How typical of our supposed 'freedoms'.

As David points out, it is highly suspicious that Otto Frank, her father, refuses to hand out the manuscript even to the most impeccable institutions. Nobody is allowed to see them. Is this not a tad suspicious? And how can the genuine nature of the diaries be established when nobody is allowed to examine the diaries?

The manuscripts were examined briefly, in situ, in the 70's by Swiss authoroties. Suspiciously, large portions of the manuscript were 'embellished' with a ball point pen - despite the fact that ball point pens were not invented till well after WWII.

I am glad to see you accept that Anne Frank's diaries may not be all they appear. Just remember the inherent dangers in denying such things in this confirmist age.

At the very least, large parts of the diary were not written by Anne herself - this much has been established and accepted by all parties, already. But even larger portions could be false - possibly as much as the whole entirety of the diaries could be faked. There are many suspicious and odd facts in the case, and we seem to be heading towards one inevitable conclusion.

I just want to mention that the (non-)validity of Frank's diary can in no way be construed as a justification for Nazism. (Obviously, sad that I even have to mention this.) Her story is just one of millions, and not even the most horrible or striking. (Heck, even my family tree suffered from Nazi death camps...) She was a human being like any of us, and could have embellished the story if she wanted to. There is nothing wrong with that, as long as we don't view the diary as some sort of gospel truth.

The respected historian David Irving,

Oh, yes, the David Irving who doesnt believe the Holocaust happened and regularly "proves" the case in his capacity as a regular and distinguished guest at Neo-Nazi pow-wows.

How typical of our supposed 'freedoms'.

It's just as well you havent a problem with libel laws because I'm about to call you a fucking moron: you are, self-demonstrably and for all posterity, a fucking moron.

In the diary he didn't say her name directly, but he did make reference to "her tear jacking diaries after these many years." I think he meant tear jerking by the way, but perhaps something else was on his mind. Anne Frank is probably the only diaries of a little girl that have been very famous and dealt with a sensitive subject. Of course, they could be fake as someone else noted in this thread.

who cares if her stories are real or fake. but i heard the rumor that the editor or her book publisher fell in love with the little girl ( yes, i'm *very* inadequate in naming names) to the extent that he destoyed his own happy family life just so that he can be the little girl's slave. the power of love and hate is quite amazing. Maybe we should find a picture of this man toiled in love to replace that unreal girl's picture?

That's hilarious! cookies bring surprises sometimes.
