Otto Frank, father of Anne

First 15 minutes of this dutch documentary, made in 2010. To order a dvd of the complete movie please contact Pieter van Huystee Producties in The Netherlands: [e-mail]
As of 2018, 3000+ comments were posted. Some of the posts were plainly antisemitic. I chose not to remove the sick, disgusting and frustrated prose of those neo-nazi's because in my opinion one should not neglect the underlying warning they reveal: genocide can happen again. More so, since dictators are becoming more powerfull in recent years i.e. Trump, Putin, Erdogan and others.
As of 2022, only 1400+ comments remained, so I wonder if KZbin/ Google has removed the antisemitic comments.

Poor Otto, he lost his whole family. Without the diary, he might not even have had the strength to go on... Thank God, he published it and that it became such a success. It has helped me a lot. I don't dwell on small things anymore after reading it because what they went through was Hell compared to our lives today.

[@ribbone1975]

NB it a very dry read. not interesting at all. people who get through it don't swallow what they read and think critically. they are just proud and feel they did something noble by reading it/finishing it. watch diary Anne Frank Otto Frank hoax. it points all the discrepancies out. it's said they were hiding and had to be quiet at all times. yet they did gymnastics, sang, vacuumed during the day, smoked cigarettes, had fresh produce come to the house( in Poland, rations were very limited for everyone) soldiers included. it was war time afterall. so Frank's have fresh produce brought to the spice factory building with all the workers there during the day and moone questioned where this produce went. especially when no one was eating fresh veg. and the whole book shelf added to the door that went to the half of the building where they were staying. workers who worked there for years all of a sudden see a bookshelf places where the archway/stair s were to the back if the building. if the workers let police know. they would be rewarded with more rations. which they prob would of. lots of inconsistencies in the diary. but they're only found with study and critical thinking. I'm just a person who doesn't automatically swallow whatever is fed to me. I like to analyze

[@mpopolino3894]

@@ribbone1975 Your comment is ludicrous, just as much as the "hoax" you refer to is in itself a hoax. There is far too much nonsense in your comment to respond to all of the above. For example, the secret annex was hidden from the view of the workers; they could not see the bookshelf. [Did you study the readily available floor plans and diagrams of the building where the secret annex was located?] Secondly, the hidden occupants had to remain very quiet or silent during the day. You did not cite even a single diary date under which to substantiate the nonsense you mention above. Furthermore, residents of Amsterdam relied on limited distributions of food ration books, just as in other German occupied territory at that time. Did you miss or forget the diary passages that described the many meals in the annex consisting mainly of beans or even rotten lettuce, and so on? By late 1944 the annex occupants were down to two meager daily meals. Example: Anne's entry for May 1944 includes that they were constantly eating only "lettuce, stewing lettuce, spinach, spinach and more spinach." The helpers of the Franks , such as Jan and Miep Gies, risked their lives smuggling extra food when they could. I suggest that you actually first reread the diary [preferably the definitive edition] with more effort at reading comprehension, and then do further research based on primary sources. Please learn the distinction between false conclusions based on unqualified sources and that of proper research methods. There is no sign of "analysis" in your comment; only a parroting of a single unqualified source which offers an absurd argument, and your apparent lack of reading comprehension of the diary itself.

I've read many, many books in my life, but no writer has touched me as much as Anne Frank.

[@WS3838]

Anne Frank's father, Otto, was a Nazi collaborator and war profiteer. Otto ran a profitable company which manufactured and wholesaled materials to the German army. The notorious 'annex' in Amsterdam, in which the Franks were 'hiding', was actually a comfortable flat above the Franks' Amsterdam business where the family lived without any money problems. Otto collaborated with the Dutch Nazis as well as with Germans. Actually he only ended in a work camp when he tried to cheat the Wehrmacht for more profit. You can read that in the 2003 book by Carol Ann Lee "The Hidden Life of Otto Frank". www.amazon.com/The-Hidden-Life-Otto-Frank/dp/0060520833 Ms. Lee documents the fascinating story of Otto Frank's wartime collaboration with the Nazi regimes, both in Germany and the Netherlands. She writes that Otto manufactured and wholesaled pectin and other products to the German army. "Pectin was a preservative that could be put to many uses, depending upon the type of pectin it was. All pectin was useful for food production, but certain kinds could be applied as a balm for wounds and as a thickener for raising blood volume in blood transfusions. Other types of pectin were used in the steel industry as a hardener and in the oil industry as an emulsifier. Therefore, it is possible that the Wehrmacht used the pectin they bought from Otto Frank's company for the war industry." Otto paid blackmail to his Dutch Nazi factotum, Tonny Ahlers, during the war to cover up his Jewish identity to his Nazi business partners and after the war to cover up Otto's wartime collaboration with the Nazis to his "diary" business partners. Probably Otto also paid blackmail to keep secret that the alleged "diary" of his daughter Anne in actual fact had been written by the Jewish kitsch writer Meyer Levin. As a matter of fact it looks like Otto was still paying blackmail to Tonny Ahlers at the time of Otto's death in 1980! codoh.com/library/document/1544/#ftnref3

[@NickJay]

At NO point in the book did she use the word "collaborator"! Soon after the Germans invaded Holland, he had to leave the company. That doesn't smell of collaboration to me! Yes some of the decisions he made can be argued weren't the best, as Carol Ann Lee points out but he had to go into hiding along with the rest of his family and others and as for the suggestion that Anne's diary was written by someone else, I'm not even going to argue about something so ridiculous. Of course you have proof or sources and I've read some just now about Meyer Levin and it was probably his assumed right of the *play* script he argued about but I shall post a more accurate and in depth report of all this in a moment.

To say her father wrote her book is dishonoring her life and death!! She saw what was going on around her and had the skills to properly record them in her diary....maybe he edited out parts the might embarass her,,but these r her words for sure....also,she aged while in hiding ,and grew up alot..so she was perfectly capable of being a prolific writer.

Perhaps I can chalk it up to lack of education, media propaganda, a sign of the times, the veil of anonymity that the internet provides or maybe it is simply, that people choose to hate blindly, rather than choose to understand, rather than choose to open their minds, rather than choose to exercise good judgement, rather than choose to practice tolerance...Anne Frank has done more for humanity in her writings and during her short lifetime, than all of the haters put together posting to this blog, in their long, listless, hate-filled lifetimes...

[@beenaplumber8379]

My friend, you are over-thinking things. First, people who comment on You Tube videos are not at all representative of humanity. I think we tend to be more eccentric in some ways. Second, I doubt even one tenth of the people spouting hate here actually hold hate in their hearts toward Jews. They are trolls who see it as a sport to infuriate people and then watch the uproar they have caused. Third, by even replying to the trolls, we are rewarding them and making them even more powerful than they are. Trolls are sad and lonely people who resort to a really pathetic form of recreation - hurting people's feelings. This discussion and all discussions about Jewish-themed videos will be plagued with trolls because the trolls are so well fed here. Jews are a very easy target because so many people are so outraged (rightly so) by anti-Semitic comments. My answer: Don't get down on humanity. Feel sorry for the sad trolls, but don't feed them. They are like the begging crack whores that we cannot save. Maintain dignity in the face of adversity, and stay above their provocation. Remember, there are very few trolls, but each one can make a lot of noise. What would Anne's answer be? Something cheerful, no doubt - soomething that reflected her faith in the general goodness of people, yet also witty...

Here's part of the text of the case with comments to help you understand what it is saying. Please tell us where the court case mentions Meyer was suing Frank because he had written the diary. In essence the court case was about, breach of contract regarding a theatre production of the diary. "The defendant Frank moves to vacate a warrant of attachment, or in the alternative for an increase of the security furnished when the warrant was granted. *_The defendant Frank is the owner of the literary property in a book, originally published in the Dutch and French languages under the title "Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl" (referred to as the Diary)._* (The court establishes that Frank is the owner and the book was originally published in Dutch and French) In 1952 the Diary was published in English in the United States and it has also been adapted into a play which has been running in New York for an extended period with marked success. *_It appears from the papers that the plaintiff, an author, journalist and playwright, in 1950 made an agreement with Frank by which the plaintiff was exclusively to represent Frank's interests for the exploitation of the Diary in the United States._* (Frank made an agreement with Meyer regarding the exploitation of the Diary in the USA) In furtherance of this agreement Frank on March 31, 1952, authorized the plaintiff, as his agent to negotiate exclusively for one year for presentations of the Diary and to enter into agreements with respect thereto, subject to Frank's approval of the agreements or any adaptation of the Diary prior to its public presentation. On November 21, 1952, the plaintiff and Frank entered into a written agreement which not alone terminated the March 31, 1952 authorization, but on December 21, 1952, *_virtually excluded the plaintiff from participation in the fruits of the dramatic or like presentation of the Diary._* (This makes it plain even to the most stupid person that the case is about a theatre production, not authorship) The plaintiff claims that his execution of the November 21, 1952 agreement was procured by fraud and the resultant controversy is the occasion for this suit. *_The action is brought against Frank and Bloomgarden, the producer of the dramatic version of the Diary._* The complaint contains four causes of action, one, the third, against Bloomgarden alone, with which we are not here concerned. The first and second causes of action are stated against Frank, and the fourth against both Frank and Bloomgarden. The second cause of action is for breach of the 1950 agreement. It realleges from the first cause of action the relation of the parties and the terms of the 1950 agreement, and alleges further the *_defendant's refusal in violation of the agreement to authorize the plaintiff to write a dramatic adaption of the Diary or to have others collaborate with him for that purpose._* It alleges due performance and concludes with *_a demand for $50,000 damages. Standing by itself this is an ordinary claim at law for breach of contract."_*

I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to people, even those I've never met. I want to go on living even after my death and that's why I'm grateful to God for having given me this gift which I can use to develop and express all that's inside me. Yours Anne M Frank"

It was amazing the foresight this man had, about what Hitler was not only capable of, but what he was convinced he would in fact, do. Immediately after he becomes chancellor, he moved the family out of Germany. He went to the Netherlands, which he no doubt thought was safe from the reaches of Hitler. Then, when Holland was invaded, he almost immediately began planning to go into hiding. He moved furniture and possessions into the annex over a period of months, to avoid any suspicion. It's such a tragedy, though, because he decided to leave Germany so early, he could have almost certainly have gone to Switzerland as well, where he even had family. If he had done that, he would have absolutely survived the war with his family. But, nonetheless, he was a man who tried to do everything he could, proactively, to save his family. It must have weighed on him with tremendous guilt that in the end, he was unable to do so.

Thank you for sharing this footage, I am interested in watching the full documentary but can't afford to buy it so I will have to settle with this. I find all of this to be amazing, I watched the older movie about anne frank when I was in grade school and then we visited a memorial of her that was in town at the time; it was an amazing experience, she truly is an inspiration. Even if by chance what people are claiming of Otto Frank forging her diary and whatnot I don't think it really matters at this point and time as there are so many people that are impacted by the story. I believe that Anne's wish came true, and I can't imagine the pain he was going through, losing his entire family. May they all rest in peace, I am ever so grateful that her story has been shared with the world. It is a story that I will share with my children.

[@themagyarfiucska]

***** "With Otto Frank's death in 1980, the original diary, including letters and loose sheets, were willed to the Dutch Institute for War Documentation, who commissioned a forensic study of the diary through the Netherlands Ministry of Justice in 1986. They examined the handwriting against known examples and found that they matched. They determined that the paper, glue, and ink were readily available during the time the diary was said to have been written. They concluded that the diary is authentic, and their findings were published in what has become known as the "Critical Edition" of the diary. On 23 March 1990, the Hamburg Regional Court confirmed the diary's authenticity."

I don't have no words to express the disgust of many stupid, antisemitic, discriminatory and ignorant comments. This is 15 minutes of a really inspiring biography of a great person, that if we could listen to his words, we wont be repeating the same discrimination to others. War is everywhere this days and I agree that genocide can happen again.

[@Nohandlefornow]

Beautiful hearing about their family life and understanding a deeper dynamic and history/background to how they came to be where they were. Sad to hear how she loved life more than anyone that woman had ever met, how hopeful they were when they left Germany for Holland and how regular they were, just like yours or my family. Keep hearing all these stories about her laugh and smile and happy disposition and wanting to know more then realising the story didn't have a happy ending. Absolutely tragic. And every person who died as a result of Hitler and his party has a backstory like this, they all had people who loved and cared about them, smiles and laughter and jokes to share with the world. Breaks your heart all over again.

A lot of these comments are downright cruel, but most important is the fact that these people PURPOSELY search for Holocaust survivor stories just to comment something stupid. And for what? To gain a few likes from the like minded idiots who believe that the Holocaust (one of the best documented crisis) is hoax. I feel bad for these people because they lack the most basic component of being a human being: compassion. People ask how could the Nazi do this to a group of people, but is it really that hard to believe? We have people in the comments laughing at other's pain and try to belittle and discredit what they went through.

[@caroladler3148]

If Otto Frank had not had the financial means, business contacts and social status to find his family a safe shelter what would he have done? As a middle-class American Jew, I find it distressing that those less fortunate often had no way out. Many were lucky enough to send their children to rural farms, receive money from friends and relatives in other countries or if they were very lucky, find a contact in the Resistance, those brave and dedicated souls who led Jews and other persecuted people to safe havens while risking their own lives. After they lived through Auschwitz and Treblinka, my mother and father-in-law were sent to a refuge camp where they married and were sponsored to come to America by a relative. It is a miracle Otto survived and Miep was a true heroine. But the Frank's story also shows that those who had money or contacts could still be betrayed.

The renowned German News Magazine "Der SPIEGEL" reported about that in 1980. I translate to English: In the year 1980 Anne Frank's father, Otto Frank, had litigated the Hamburg citizen Ernst Römer for "holocaust denial" which is punishable in Germany, cause Ernst Römer had said that the diaries are a forgery. In the following legal proceedings the Hamburg Landgericht (regional court with 2 or 3 judges plus 2 lay judges) asked an expertise from the excellently equipped forensic laboratory of the Bundeskriminalamt (German FBI) to determine the age of the diaries. The German FBI lab found beyond all doubts that some pages of the diaries were written with a ballpen ("blue paste") which was introduced in Europe only in 1951. Already in 1960 the Hamburg court-appointed expert for graphology Minna Becker wrote in an expertise for the Lübeck regional court in another lawsuit, that all entries in all three diary books including all stuck in loose papers were written by the same person. Following the laws of logic that means that "The Diary of Anne Frank " was written by a person, who was alive in 1951.

WS3838 Your lies are about to be fully exposed Mr Nazi arsewipe, you know all this but you still post your mendacious bullshit. Enjoy: www.annefrank.org/ImageVaultFiles/id_14671/cf_21/tenquestions_en.pdf *4. It has been said that there are entries in the diary in ballpoint pen.* *Is that correct?* No, that is not correct. All the diary entries are written in various types of ink and (coloured) pencil, not in ballpoint. The document analysis by the Netherlands Forensic Institute showed that the main part of the diary and the loose sheets were written in grey-blue fountain pen ink. In addition, Anne also used thin red ink, green and red coloured pencils and black pencil for her annotations: not ballpoint. *Nevertheless, the allegation can still regularly be seen on extreme right-wing websites and elsewhere that the diary of Anne Frank is written in ballpoint pen.* Sneering remarks are made about "A. Frank the ballpoint girl," and it is pointed out that the ballpoint pen only came into common use in Europe after the Second World War. The conclusion forced by this allegation is that the texts in the diary could not have been written by Anne Frank herself. *Annotation sheets* The origin of the "ballpoint myth" is the four-page report that the Federal Criminal Police Office (the Bundeskriminalamt or BKA) in Wiesbaden, which was published in 1980. In this investigation into the types of paper and ink used in the diary of Anne Frank it is stated that *_"ballpoint corrections" had been made on some loose sheets._* The BKA’s task was to report on all the texts found among the diaries of Anne Frank, and therefore also on the annotations that were made in Anne’s manuscripts after the war. *_However, the Dutch investigation by the Forensic Institute in the mid-1980’s shows that writing in ballpoint is only found on two loose pages of annotations, and that these annotations are of no significance for the actual content of the diary. They were clearly placed between the other pages later._* *_The researchers of the Forensic Institute also concluded that the handwriting on these two annotation sheets differs from the writing in the diary "to a far-reaching degree."_* Photos of these loose annotation sheets are included in the NIOD’s publication (see The Diary of Anne Frank: The Revised Critical Edition, 2003, pages 168 and 170). _*In 1987, a Mr Ockelmann from Hamburg wrote that his mother had written the annotation sheets in question. Mrs Ockelmann was a member of the team that carried out the graphological investigation into the writings of Anne Frank around 1960.*_ *A life of its own* In short: the "ballpoint myth" is easy to disprove. The careless wording of the BKA report from 1980 - a report that for the rest in no way challenges the authenticity of the diary - or at any rate its openness to several interpretations, has taken on a life of its own in extreme right-wing circles. *_The "ballpoint myth" is based on the simple fact that, around 1960, two annotation sheets with ballpoint writing were inserted between the original pages._* These texts were written by a graphological researcher, and are not included in any edition of the diary (apart from the Critical Edition, where photos of the annotation sheets are reproduced). *_In July 2006, the BKA found it necessary to state in a press release that the 1980 investigation cannot be used to call the authenticity of the diary into doubt._*

[@ryanhogge8]

How is it that Anne Frank wrote her diary in ballpoint pen, if the ballpoint pen was not invented until the 1950s?

[@purplehazee90]

Ryan Kane Hi, I don't who gave you that false information, but the ballpoint pen was invented in 1888.

[@ryanhogge8]

You are correct that it was invented much earlier than I had claimed. However, the first widely available ballpoint pen in the US was released in 1945, and I will stand by the nature of my post in that it would have been nearly impossible for Anne Frank to obtain a ballpoint pen in her circumstances.

[@purplehazee90]

Where did you get the information that Anne Frank wrote her entries in ball point pen? Anne Frank's original diary was written with a foundation pen (wet ink). The ONLY ballpoint pen traces are found on two loose sheets of paper that was put in with the dairy-probably notes from Otto Frank-and after Otto Frank read her dairy, he numbered the pages with his ballpoint pen. Both of these are public records, and something Otto Frank never tried to hide. Please note that the dairy has been tested MANY times for authenticity, it wasn't something that was easily published. Also, since we are talking about dates here, that was after the war so ballpoint pens would be readily available. Otto Frank never denied that he added notes and his own comments to the entries, it was never a secret. He didn't even try to match Anne's handwriting.
