Abstract:
States that fifty years after Anne Frank's death, the publication of two books and the release of a documentary film (all in 1995) shed new light both on her life and on how the world has come to know her. Discusses the books "An Obsession with Anne Frank: Meyer Levin and the 'Diary'", by Lawrence Graver, and "The Diary of a Young Girl: The Definitive Edition" (which contains material excised by Otto Frank in the original published version of the "Diary"), and the film "Anne Frank Remembered" by Jon Blair, which follows Anne's life from her arrest to her death in Bergen-Belsen. Suggests that Levin's conception of the "Diary" was more valid than Otto Frank's, or the one revealed in the play and the screenplay which were based on it.
