The fable of Anne
Frank

Eight Jews who hid in an attic for two years

This site explores the background of the people, the physical setup
of the annex, and what the experts say is nothing but an absurd fairy
tale.

The real fraud lies with a father, who exploits his family's tragic
deaths, which ultimately he was responsible for, because of his arrest.

History of Anne Frank's
parents

The Franks were upper class German Jews, both came from wealthy
families.

Ottto and his siblings lived on the exclusive Meronstrasse.
Their daily lives consisted of servants, private schools, riding
lessons, tennis, etc. They were 'The
aloof Jews' of the privileged class that lorded
over Germans for 50 years.

Even as children, their social lives consisted of family
parties, costume balls,
as well as outings to the opera, where the Franks had a private
box.

Otto attended a private prep school, and also attended the
Lessing Gymnasium, the most expensive school in Frankfurt.

Otto's description of his
college years

During the holidays:
..... "I could not bear staying at home very long after
school." In Frankfurt, life was too organized, and the "parties
every week, balls, festivities, beautiful girls, waltzing, dinners
... etc., were so boring".

Otto's family owned a
country place near Frankfurt, he and his good friend Nathan
Strauss often took German girls there for the
weekend.

Otto attended
Heidelberg University. After graduation he left for a long
vacation in England.

1909 - The 20 yr old Otto went
to NY, where he stayed with his relatives, the
Oppenheimers.

Otto, the consummate swindler's first lie

Otto said he was a WW1
veteran and war hero. Otto was in New York staying with his
relatives, the Oppenheimers,
who were jewelers a and owned a chain of pawn shops, they
lived at 1211 Madison Avenue. On the
social scene, Otto befriended Charles
Strauss, the Macy's department store heir..

Do you believe
that a rich Jewish dilettante, and a womanizer,
left New York to fight in the trenches of France?

Exclusive Jewish schools

The Franks in Germany

1925 - Anne's parents marry
and settle in Frankfurt, Germany. Anne was born in 1929. These
were rich haughty Jews who paraded around Frankfurt like
peacocks.

The Frank's family business
included banking, management of the springs at Bad Soden and the
manufacture of cough drops. Anne's mother, the former Edith
Holländer, was the daughter of a manufacturer.

1929 the depression arrived in Germany.1933 the unemployment
in Germany was 6,100,000 or 35%.

Otto Frank's business career

Frank and Sons bank

The Frank family was always into banking. In 1923 Otto and
Herbert founded a bank called "M.
Frank and Sons". Johannes
Kleiman was also involved.

The Franks profited from the Weimar
deflation

During 1924 Weimar Inflation (The Mark depreciated 4,000,000
%), and currency traders like Franks made fortunes. During the
recovery of 1925 to 1929,  the Franks lent enormous sums to
fellow Jews, who defaulted, and the Franks blamed the defaults on
the depression, leaving the gentiles with savings accounts,
penniless.

From 1930 to 1933 the Franks foreclosed on German land owners,
allowing fellow Jews to buy Germans property for
pennies.

In 1933 the Franks faced a trial

After the WW1 betrayal,
the Versailles treaty, the 1923 collapse, and
the 1929 depression, the Germans had their fill of Jews. Otto and his brother last
scheme was out and out embezzling, but they got caught, and
Germany brought them to trial. Otto
Frank  fled to
the Netherlands, Herbert  Frank to France and Johannes
Kleiman went to Belguim. Nazis weren't even in power
yet.

Otto Frank flees to
Amsterdam

1934 -1942

1934 Otto settles in Amsterdam

Otto buys a spice business,Opekta, which manufactures Pectin
used in making household jellies. From 1934 to 1942 they lead the
idealistic life.

Frank's Amsterdam
apartment

The Nazis occupy Amsterdam

On May 1940 the Nazis occupy Amsterdam. Otto knew that the
Germans  found Jews distasteful, but didn't bother taking a 1/2
hr  boat ride to England.

Otto's mother and brother moved to Switzerland, but he
preferred Amsterdam where he could make a profit from the war.

Otto's business

From 1939 to 1945, Otto sold  Opeka,
and Pectin, to the German
army.

"Pectin was a food preservative, and a anti
infectant balm for wounds and as a thickener for raising blood volume in
blood transfusions. Pectin was used as an emulsifier for
petroleum, gelatized gasoline for fire bombing. By supplying the
Wehrmacht ."Otto the Jew" was a Nazi
collaborator.

July 6, 1942

Otto waits two years to move the Frank family into the 'Secret
Annex'? The annex is a three story, mostly glass townhouse that shares a
garden park with fifty
other apartments.

Here are detailed
pictures.

1942 - 1944

Otto fears for his life so the family goes into hiding

According to "The Diary": ~
15 yr old Margot, who lives in Amsterdam, is tracked down by Nazis,
and receives an induction notice into a German work brigade? Otto then
decides to hide his family in his office. Otto supposedly moves in, and
swears his five employees to secrecy. They move into a 3 story, all
glass garden apartment in the rear of the building.

While he was in hiding, Otto Frank still managed his business, going
downstairs to his office at night and on weekends. Anne and the others
would go to Otto's office and listen to radio broadcasts from England.

Otto's
protectors

TheVoskuijls, Meips,
Kuglar, and Klieman will protect, and supply them. Despite the
fact that, three of them, are themselves
Jews.

Anne Frank's Diary

The diary
begins on June 12, 1942, and runs to Dec 5,1942, it's a book that's six
by four by a quarter inch. In addition to this first diary, Anne also filled a series letters. Otto
said Anne heard Gerrit
Bolkestein in a broadcast
say: ~  "Keep a diary, and he would publish after the war",
and that's why Anne rewrote her diaries second time in 1944.

In this
second edition, Anne changed, rearranged and occasionally
combined entries of various dates.  She began editing
her writing, removing sections and rewriting others, with the view to
publication.

The oddities are: ~ When Anne
rewrote the diaries she used a ball point pen, the book took on an
extremely high literary standard, and it reads more like a
professional documentary than a child's diary. In Anne's second
edition her writing style, and handwriting, suddenly
matured

Anne Frank left a diary containing only about 150 notes,
according to The New York Times, 2 October 1955.

1944 - Otto Frank arrested

Nazis storm the attic, and the eight Jews are sent to
Westerbork and forced to sledge hammer batteries? Otto and Peter
are sent to Auschwitz, where Otto sees Peter gassed. Anne, Margot, and
the mother, die of typhus. Otto is spared the gas chamber, and sent to
the hospital.

How
the eight died.

1945

Otto returns and cooks the
diaries

Otto returns to Amsterdam

Otto, who is found in an Auschwitz
hospital, somehow escaped the gas chambers? After Auschwitz he
returns to Amsterdam, where he find's
Anne's diary in the Annex's rafters, another version has Meip Geis
finding Anne's diary of
imaginary events, and she gave it to Otto Frank.

Otto then takes Anne's letters,
converts
them to a book, and then gives it to Ias Cauvern to review.
Otto is questioned by the Dutch legal
authorities about Nazi economic collaboration during the
occupation, but the investigation was squashed.

Isa Cauvern's -- Otto Frank's secretary, and her
husband Albert Cauvern , a writer,
authored the first diary. Otto gave his daughter's imaginary
stories to these two to compile as a story. Prof Faurrison, an expert
from the Sorbone,  voiced suspicions about
their participation.

Questions were raised whether
Isa and Albert
Cauvern, who
assisted Otto in typing out the work used the original diaries or
whether they took it directly from Mr. Frank's "copied out"
copy?

Meyer Levin - He
wrote the third and final edition

Levin
was an author, and journalist, who lived for many years in France, where
he met Otto Frank around 1949.

Typical of his early
rhetoric: ~ "The Jews suddenly faced themselves....They saw that
they were different from all other inmates of the camp. For them things
were not so simple. To go back to Poland? To Hungary? To streets empty
of Jews, towns empty of Jews, a world without Jews.

To wander in those
lands, lonely, homeless, always the tragedy before one's eyes...and to
meet again a Gentile neighbor who would open his eyes wide and smile,
remarking with double meaning 'What, Yankel! You're still
alive.'"

Meyer Levin,
Author, June 1946

Levin
rewrote the Diary with an eye toward a Broadway production, but Otto
decided to cut him
out. Meyer Levin sued Otto Frank for his writings, and the New York
Supreme court awarded Meyer Levin $50,000,
for his
'intellectual work'.

Anton Ahlers blackmails
Otto

Carol Lee, who authored 'The hidden life of
Otto Frank, contends that Otto  paid
off Ahler's through a Swiss bank account, until Otto's death. Her
theory is, that Otto paid Ahlers for his silence over the wartime sale
of pectin to the Wehrmacht. She argues that Otto was initially worried
that Ahlers and a Dutch
inquiry would portray him as a collaborator.

Obviously, if Otto was bold enough to defy Meyer Levin in public
courtroom, but pay Ahlers for 35 yrs, then Ahlers had something of an
explosive nature. He must have had pictures or solid documents, that
would confirm the diaries as a total hoax. Otto's adultery
was well known, so it wasn't that.

Writers and historian challenge
diaries

1957
Harald Niels, a Danish literary critic for the Swedish paper
Fria Ord wrote a piece alleging the diary owed its final form to
Meyer
Levin.

1958 Life
magazine has Anne's handwriting
on cover and nothing matches

1959 Otto Frank took Lothar
Stielau, a school teacher who claimed the diary was a absurd
hoax, to court.

1967, a journalist
named Teressa
Hendry, of the American Mercury  writes it's all ahoax
and the real author had been Meyer
Levin.

1975, a British historian David
Irving,  repeated the charge in  that an American court had
"proved" a New York scriptwriter had produced the diary "in
collaboration with the girl's father."

1976, Heinz
Roth, an architect from Odenhausen, published "Anne Frank's Diary-A Forgery".

1978, Robert
Faurisson, of the department of Literature at the University of
Lyons, published Le Journal d'Anne Frank
est-il authentique? (The Diary of Anne
Frank-Is It Authentic?) He was trained at the Sorbonne, and
specialized in close textual analysis He is considered the
world's foremost authority on the whole Anne Frank matter. Faurisson
spent yrs studying diaries and interviewing Otto
Frank,

1980,  Otto sues Ernst Romer
and Edgar Geiss, for distributing literature denouncing the diary as a
forgery. The trial produced a study by handwriting experts that
determined everything was written by the same person. The person that
wrote the diaries used a ballpoint, which was available till 1951 ~ Anne
died in 1944.

1980 the German criminal investigation bureau examined the manuscript, in the form of three hardbound
notebooks and 324 loose pages bound in a fourth notebook, was examined
with special equipment.

The results of tests
performed at the BKA laboratories show that portions of the work,
specially of the fourth volume, were written with a ballpoint pen. Since
ballpoint pens were not available before 1951, the BKA concluded, those
sections must have been added subsequently.
[*]

Ditlieb Felderer publishes:
~ Anne Frank's Diary: a Hoax
(IHR,
1980)

Verbekke agrees with
Faurisson and Harwood, who are convinced that the diary of Anne Frank is
a forgery.

Handwriting

None of the diaries handwriting
matched known examples of Anne's handwriting. The German magazine
Der Spiegel published an account of this report
alleging that (a) some editing postdated 1951; (b) an earlier expert had
held that all the writing in the journal was by the same hand; and thus
(c) the entire diary was possibly fake.

Faurison questions Otto

In 1982 Dr Robert Faurisson published an
article on Anne's 'diary' which demonstrated that at one time Anne
had very mature handwriting but then, months later, a childish
scrawl. Faurisson's investigation took him to Basel, Switzerland,
where he spent two days talking with Otto Frank.

Otto told him, "Dr Faursisson, I agree with
you 100 per cent. All those things [i.e. contradictions which
Faurisson found in Frank's alleged lifestyle-in-hiding] are
theoretically, scientifically impossible, but so it was."
Faurisson tried unsuccessfully to obtain a handwriting specimen
from Otto Frank, but the man always used a
typewriter.

Faurisson also wanted a sample of Isa
Cauvern's handwriting, but wasn't able to attain
it.

After the Netherlands
Institute's
analysis, various personal letters and
postcards of Anne appeared on the open market. These
samples voided the institutes claim that the handwriting was
Annes.

Dr Faurisson conclusion: ~ Otto
Frank, and others, had very substantially adapted and enlarged an
original manuscript for financial
gain

Witnesses

Not long after R. Faurisson began to put
questions to Otto Frank and his friends, Victor
Kugler received a prize of 10,000 dollars for the protection
he offered to the family Frank during the
war

The problems

The ball point pen

The results of tests performed at the BKA laboratories show that
portions of the work, specially of the fourth volume, were written with a ballpoint pen. And
all four volumes were written by the same
hand.

Writing style

Any informed literary inspection of this book, would have shown it to
have been impossible as the work of a teenager.

Handwriting

Unbelievers had observed that there are two
handwritings in the Diary : a handwriting in print letters, that looks
childish, and a handwriting in manuscript letters, that looks adult.

Pictures

Any pictures that surfaced were quickly bought up. You couldn't let a
13 yr old Anne be seen at the beach if she was hiding in an attic. Auschwitz
postcards caused a similar problem.

The logical conclusion

They lived openly in the Annex, and may have been others
with them, but that's doubtful. Anne's infatuation with Peter Van Pel
reflects a fantasy, more than reality. The diary was small
book, that consisted of a child's imaginary world.

The annex
couldn't have possibly been a secret, there were fifty apartments
that shared the garden park, and would notice the Franks at night. The
story of Germany tracking down 15 yr old Margot, for a work brigade, is
total nonsense. Otto wasn't betrayed, he was arrested for swindling the
Wermacht.

Basically Otto was a swindler, and Meyer Levin wrote the
diaries. Look at the handwriting.
