Annelies Marie Frank never kept a diary. What she called her ‘diary’ was a collection of sketches, fictional stories and fantasy letters to the eight members of her imaginary "club." In 1944 she rewrote the lot, calling it a novel ("een roman"), but this was translated in the Diary to "a romance." Otto Frank lied when he insisted he had not intended to publish it. First published in 1998, this is the most rigorous debunking of the Anne Frank Diary ever published, and revised to include some recent developments in this ongoing saga.
