I don’t know why I’ve never thought about this until recently but this diary was effectively, Anne’s sanity. She was in a stifling yet extremely precarious position. It wasn’t just finding certain people insufferable, it was the fear of being caught, the protocols that were completely against her own nature. She really could have done something great and this diary is proof of the kind of writer she could have been.
Consider it as "naivety" but I would rather believe she did kept to that idea even when she was succumbing to disease in the camp. I can't imagine what she could write had she survive her ordeal...
In Judaism it's believed that all people are somehow good inside as a result of all people being born with what Judaism calls sacred sparks. A long time ago I discussed this with a rabbi who said deep down even Hitler was a good person, but had a soul that was invaded by evil.
I need to go back and read the Diary again. I read it when I was young. I am a girl so it did not surprise me that she wrote about puberty and sex; many girls do, I know I did.
I think it’s hard for a parent to release super sensitive information about their late child, particularly when that parent is publishing her private diaries. I don’t think Otto was wrong to publish her private diary at all, but he left out the bits that painted her as anything other than his precious little girl. I get why he did it. He even said, after reading it, “I never knew her at all.” And I think the person she was becoming amazed him. He wanted the world to know her.
@@BeckBeckGo "He even said, after reading it, "I never knew her at all."" I don't blame him for saying that. At the same time, I don't think that's really 100% Anne's fault or even his fault. No matter how close you are to a person, there's always a chance that they're masking certain parts of themselves because of past experiences. Let's say,like there's a dance that person "A" did a lot but person "B" didn't like it for any reason,then person "A" would be motivated to stop doing that and tell person "B" that they won't do that anymore and that it was just a "phase". But the person "B" finds out through their diary, that person "A" still does it when person "B" isn't around because of that past negative reaction. That's just one hypothetical scenario off the top of my head. I'm sure it's a bit different with Anne and how her dad saw her
It’s been banned a few times, though not because of how Anne wrote about other girls (like it is this time). I can’t remember the exact reasons why but it’s gone off and on the banned book list for years. You’d be surprised what books are on that list
Probably banned because the source material is heavily questionable. A lot of speculation of bias from the editors and possible ghost writers that might have altered or got rid of what was in the real diary.
@@slimshadow49 Nope. The first attempt to get Anne Frank's book banned came in 1982. Parents in Wise County, Virginia, objected to the descriptions of Frank's anatomy, the romantic feelings she expressed for a female friend, and her burgeoning sexual feelings. In 1983, in Alabama, there was a push to ban the book because people thought it was too depressing for younger readers. Her diary gets banned over and over again bc she expresses attraction to women, discusses her changing body, and the tragedy of her life can lead people to question their faith. It also is seen as too graphic due to the nature of the Holocaust and what she was living through.
I am leaving this comment here so that after some hours, days, weeks, months or years when someone likes or comment on it, I will be reminded to watch this video again
I used to read this diary once a year every year from ages 9-21. And I always found something new to analyze or simply reflect on. Reading it as a fully grown adult and mother is surely gonna break my heart for this poor baby all over again but it’s necessary that we ingrain these kind of stories into us. We can’t let history repeat itself again and again.
I've know the story since the 1980s. What I found really interesting is that her father didn't censor the lesbian stuff, only the "I hate my mother stuff". There are a few passages that to this day haven't been published, because when the full edition was to be published, it was shown to all the people she mentioned, and a couple of them didn't agree because of the typical teenage things she had written about them in the diary.
In Auschwitz, according to testimonies, Anne and her mother became very close. Edith reportedly lost her will to live after Anne and Margot were transferred to Bergen-Belsen
Wow. It is amazing that this diary has gone through so many Interpretations of what other people want Anne to say but hers Is still an Important voice that needs to be heard for all the good It can do. That you for the kind and respectful tone reading this. Good job!
I learned about Anne Frank and her diary on a field trip in the 6th grade to see Anne Frank remembered the documentary I have since read the book probably over 10 times I should read it again
Honestly, it's the disrespect for me. She had a copy she wanted published. The original she didn't want published. The girl glued brown bags onto pages she clearly didn't want anyone ever seeing. After her death, the only surviving member of her family edited the book to show his daughter in what he felt was her best light. None of those wishes were respected. They published what she didn't want published and are still fighting on if it's appropriate or not. They just had to see what she tried to hide, waiting until technology allowed them to violate the wishes of the dead. The purpose of the book was to be a sneak peek into hiding during ww2 from people that wanted them dead and ended up succeeding. You don't need to know about her puberty or natural sexual curiosity to get the viewpoint of those horrendous things in history. It's just disrespectful.
She had her own edited version, which she prepared for publication after the war. I think it's the B version, but I would have to check my copy with all three texts.
@theotherohlourdespadua1131 that's why it's disrespectful. Some things were not ever meant to be seen. Other things she felt were okay. At the end of the day, we are talking about a minor. Had she lived and not perished, she would have certainly edited it again before publication. The fact still remains that we didn't need to know all the nitty gritty of her experiencing puberty to understand the historical context or significance that the diary represents. This is something that is still very controversial today. In my personal opinion the way her diaries have been handled historically is disrespectful to the little girl who hid in an attic from a government that wanted her dead based solely on her ethno religion. A little girl who wrote about her most inner thoughts and one day wanted to be a writer, who was taken too soon due to hatred.
@Shlumbus69 you can disrespect the memory of a person once they are gone. Which is disrespecting the dead. Typically only done by cowards since they know the person is not here to defend themselves or their memory.
If she had survived the diary would have likely never been made public. It was full of her private thoughts, the words on the pages were for her eyes only. I can't see her agreeing to publish it. She was not alive to protect it, so it got published without her consent.
According to many eyewitnesses and people that knew Anne and studied the diary believe this person would have done marvelous things in her future. She had talent and insights beyond her years.
Great video. Though its weird how scared TH-cam gets whenever anyone discusses these topics. They even had to put a content warning, as if we don't know about that horrific event.
A (more plausible) theory was that... They were never betrayed at all. The Dutch police were smart enough to notice discrepancies in the use of ration coupons like how there is one place that buys more supplies than what the records said...
Doesn't matter now because they are long dead. What are we going to do if we find out, try them in absentia? Try their current relatives? Nothing can be gained at this point.
She's the most famous of her dairy, but there were other kids (girls) that wrote a dairy during WW2. I have hers and another one they made the book look so much like her real dairy, it was gift to her in a dark brown leather cover it shows how her dairy look for the cover design worn out.
Have you read the book Hana's suitcase? I got it in elementary school when the author came to our school and talked about it and signed it etc. It's a fascinating story!
@@lrosenberg101 yes I heard of her she was the Jewish Shirley Temple. It's looks like her dairy on the cover jacket that looks worn out in leather. Thanks for asking.
I read “In Alexa’s shoes “ by Rochelle Alexander and apparently she was carefully documenting her grandmother’s story of survival in World War 2 Europe and apparently Alexa died in 2020 just before the book’s publication but she left behind a legacy that remains one of the most important stories from WW11
The Mendella Effect is just people remembering things wrong, spelling things wrong, or pronouncing things wrong. The proper name is "The Diary of A Young Girl' but its' 'commonly referred to as 'The Diary of Anne Frank' Most likely came about so people knew exactly who the young girl was.
I was surprised to learn there were three versions of her diary. I didn't know her father was the one schlepping it around to get printed. It's always all about the money.
Edith was never Otto's first choice, and apparently young Anne took notice that her mother could never fill his father's heart? Rewinded and listened like 3 times, and then looked at the subs, did nobody catch this error? (5:57-6:02)
I reaf it when i was 14 years old. I felt her teens thoughs. I didn't have internet back then, so I didn't know the extra details about her and her family.
The paper, ink and glue in the diary and some of the accompanying loose sheets also all existed in the early 1940s. Anne mostly wrote her diary using grey-blue ink for fountain pens, with some parts written in pencil.
So what? We needed those scientists to stay ahead of the Soviet's in rocket technology and jump start our space program. Soviets went on to do way worse to humanity than Germany yet nobody ever cries about their atrocities.
Her voice didn't sound like an adolescents? She was 12 in a war time situation and couldn't speak louder during a whisper most of the day how the hell is she supposed to sound? Her childhood was basically gone.
I remember someone suggested writing a diary. One pervasive thought was, does it seem wise to write down intimate thoughts with an abusive narcissist as a father? I can see my father's glee in fu¢king me over using my most inner most thoughts, was my response to this emotionally disconnected moron (a therapist I choose NOT to partake of their service).
Everybody knows her and her story, but nobody says her name right. [Ah - nn - eh Fr- ah - nk] was her name. (You can put Google Translate to "German" and type in her name and click on the sound - that's the right way)
The Diary Of Anne Frank was a play and a movie. Anne Frank The Diary Of A Young Girl is the published book of her diary. I mean it is even written on the copy you displayed.
Ballpoint notes were added by a graphologist in an examination of the diary after the Second World War. The paper, ink and glue in the diary and some of the accompanying loose sheets also all existed in the early 1940s. Anne mostly wrote her diary using grey-blue ink for fountain pens, with some parts written in pencil.
0:04 This is not conspiracy theory, you can look this up. It is court transcript. Anne Frank's father , hired a man to write that diary, after the war. Then he did not pay the man, so the man sued him. The man produced a contract between him and Anne Frank's father, where he promised the man $50,000 to write the book. The judge ruled in favor of the man and said he produced the book as he was contracted. Now you must pay him. More supporting evidence is the fact that the book was written in ballpoint pen... Something that wasn't available to the public until 1951. So how could a girl in the '40s hiding in an attic write a book in a pen she could have never had?
The man, Meyer Levin discussed dramatizing the diary himself for stage or screen productions in the US. He entered into an informal agreement with Otto Frank, who entered into a formal contract in America with the publisher Doubleday. Levin wrote a draft script for a theatrical version of the diary, but the publishing company and producers opted for a different version This decision led Levin to sue Otto Frank, charging “fraud, breach of contract, and wrongful appropriation of ideas”. Levin was awarded $50,000 dollars as a result of this lawsuit, specifically on the terms of plagiarism.
Well I guess that's understandable. The original narrator is the best. But you should understand that he can't always voice a video, especially with how constant the channel uploads. I have a second channel, and it's quite hectic when I always have to voice my lines, correct myself over and over, and so on. And that takes several hours a day, assuming the video is under 5 mins. Now imagine the narrator doing that for a 10mins video everyday, especially with that voice he makes up. So let's appreciate the narrators who fill in for him. He likely has other obligations and doesn't want burnout (something that's prevalent with successful TH-cam channels).
@@babscabs1987 Fine? Maybe. Actually I think he's a bit weak. Weird? Not even close? Funny? He reads the lines in the script but does not invoke laughter. Did you laugh?
@@babscabs1987 "Weird History" has covered a lot of topics in their signature "weird" way. Typically the real Weird Guy makes wisecracks that are funny. This story wasn't just about Ann Frank, it was mostly about her father's attempt to bring her diary to market and expunge parts of it that weren't flattering to him. It was about attempts to turn it into a musical. It was about copyright law. All of those are grist for a true "Weird History" and offer opportunities for wisecracks. I guarantee that if the real Weird History guy did the narration, we would have had a chuckle or two. I could tell where the "laugh lines" were in the script but the guy just couldn't pull it off. I think you're missing the point.
Having ANOTHER Weird History drink! Drinking Nettle Leaf Tea*†...while watching this Weird History video! Great tea for insightful journal writing! * Inspired from the Weird History videos about the Royal Family. † The brand of the tea is Traditional Medicinals.
Der Spiegel in 1949 questioned it's authenticity as there were significant factual errors in the manuscript. The claim that the diary was found in the attic after the family was arrested is false. The police would have kept the pages as evidence for further charges and more arrests. Another lie was the wagons of food that were delivered to the house. The Dutch were starving at this point there would have been no food deliveries. Otto clearly wrote the book and had a sick obsession with his daughter's sexuality.

Any comment on Anne's ballpoint pen diary entries?
I just got flagged 2 days ago for "hate speech" 😂 lol they'd surely shut me down again for pointing out that inconvenient fact
She used a fountain pen, not a ballpoint pen.
She was the inventor after all.
Ballpoint notes were added by a graphologist in an examination of the diary after the Second World War.
The paper, ink and glue in the diary and some of the accompanying loose sheets also all existed in the early 1940s. Anne mostly wrote her diary using grey-blue ink for fountain pens, with some parts written in pencil.
Complicated is how Otto got himself in court fabricating the diary
False
I know they buried her body with others, her sister and mother and five hundred families…..
And will she remember me fifty years later I wished I could save her
in some sort of Time Machine......
Operation paperclip 📎. America is a illusion
So what? We needed those scientists to stay ahead of the Soviet's in rocket technology and jump start our space program. Soviets went on to do way worse to humanity than Germany yet nobody ever cries about their atrocities.
This girl is better than me
Her voice didn't sound like an adolescents? She was 12 in a war time situation and couldn't speak louder during a whisper most of the day how the hell is she supposed to sound? Her childhood was basically gone.
I remember someone suggested writing a diary. One pervasive thought was, does it seem wise to write down intimate thoughts with an abusive narcissist as a father? I can see my father's glee in fu¢king me over using my most inner most thoughts, was my response to this emotionally disconnected moron (a therapist I choose NOT to partake of their service).
Everybody knows her and her story, but nobody says her name right.
[Ah - nn - eh Fr- ah - nk] was her name.
(You can put Google Translate to "German" and type in her name and click on the sound - that's the right way)
Didnt the father embellish like a good portion of it
Please stop trying to use other voiceover guys, they make your videos unwatchable. Especially, this guy.
The Diary Of Anne Frank was a play and a movie. Anne Frank The Diary Of A Young Girl is the published book of her diary. I mean it is even written on the copy you displayed.
It’s a little more complicated than just weird, so many questions yet we’re haters if we broach such questions about #Ourhistory
I've got a request for a topic. How about the REAL history of the creation of Bill Finger's Batman.
A+ video!
Awesome topic and history, so complicated!
This channel isnt the same with the distinct voice of the other narrator
Ball point pens
And typhus.

"It was real in my mind"
0:04 This is not conspiracy theory, you can look this up. It is court transcript.
Anne Frank's father , hired a man to write that diary, after the war.
Then he did not pay the man, so the man sued him.
The man produced a contract between him and Anne Frank's father, where he promised the man $50,000 to write the book.
The judge ruled in favor of the man and said he produced the book as he was contracted. Now you must pay him.
More supporting evidence is the fact that the book was written in ballpoint pen... Something that wasn't available to the public until 1951.
So how could a girl in the '40s hiding in an attic write a book in a pen she could have never had?
I didn’t know that.
Woah fella, i think you've had a bit too much to think there. All you need to know is that it was bad. Just look at that shoe room!
LIES LIES LIES SHAME ON YOU IT'S BEEN PROVEN THAT ANNE WROTE HER DIARY
@@miaskIT'S BULLSHIT IT'S BEEN PROVEN THAT THE DIARY IS AUTHENTIC
The man, Meyer Levin discussed dramatizing the diary himself for stage or screen productions in the US. He entered into an informal agreement with Otto Frank, who entered into a formal contract in America with the publisher Doubleday.
Levin wrote a draft script for a theatrical version of the diary, but the publishing company and producers opted for a different version
This decision led Levin to sue Otto Frank, charging “fraud, breach of contract, and wrongful appropriation of ideas”. Levin was awarded $50,000 dollars as a result of this lawsuit, specifically on the terms of plagiarism.
Wow Anna Frank ❤❤❤
The diary was written with a ball point pen , they did not exist at the supposed writing timeline
Ballpoints became available sometime after WW1
It wasn't.
The diary was written in fountain pen, and pencil.
Hello fellow noticers.
Awww man, it’s the JV narrator today.
I dont wanna throw shade, but i know im not the only one who is immediately disappointed when i hear this narrator.
Well I guess that's understandable. The original narrator is the best. But you should understand that he can't always voice a video, especially with how constant the channel uploads.
I have a second channel, and it's quite hectic when I always have to voice my lines, correct myself over and over, and so on. And that takes several hours a day, assuming the video is under 5 mins. Now imagine the narrator doing that for a 10mins video everyday, especially with that voice he makes up.
So let's appreciate the narrators who fill in for him. He likely has other obligations and doesn't want burnout (something that's prevalent with successful TH-cam channels).
The ballpoint pen became widely used around 1950s Ann frank died 1945. Did she really write her diaries? If not who wrote them and why would they lie
What about the part that was written in ballpoint pen?
The notes written by a graphologist.
You misunderstood so much about this topic and omitted some important aspects.
How times have changed since 2010.. 🤦🏻♀️
1:46 That is a beautiful diary, so iconic!
Are you still making videos about people who have passed away? Is that anne Frank's real face? She looks like me.
She used a fountain pen, not a ballpoint pen.
History, yes. Weird? No. Bring back the Weird Guy! When will these guys realize that the "Weird" in "Weird History" comes from the great narrator?
This narrator is fine, take it easy champ.
@@babscabs1987 Fine? Maybe. Actually I think he's a bit weak. Weird? Not even close? Funny? He reads the lines in the script but does not invoke laughter. Did you laugh?
@emmgeevideo no, I didn't laugh during a video about a little girl who died in the holocaust...
@@babscabs1987 "Weird History" has covered a lot of topics in their signature "weird" way. Typically the real Weird Guy makes wisecracks that are funny. This story wasn't just about Ann Frank, it was mostly about her father's attempt to bring her diary to market and expunge parts of it that weren't flattering to him. It was about attempts to turn it into a musical. It was about copyright law. All of those are grist for a true "Weird History" and offer opportunities for wisecracks. I guarantee that if the real Weird History guy did the narration, we would have had a chuckle or two. I could tell where the "laugh lines" were in the script but the guy just couldn't pull it off. I think you're missing the point.
@emmgeevideo I get your point, I just don't mind the other narrator. My last comment was more of a joke tbh, you set me up real nice 😁
2:19 i have read about that while reading her diary like mentions of puberty
Who are you and what have you done with my narrator !!!???
Exactly 👍🏼
Maybe he’s on holiday.
I was wondering the same. The cadence and tone sound like Mark; I wonder if they sped his narration up for time?
So its not a real autobiography?
Ever listened to his translated speeches? Nothing told to us about the time period was real.
YES IT IS
What is a real autobiography to begin with? Unless it is a self published pdf on some server a lector at least had a look at it...

Drinking Nettle Leaf Tea*†...while watching this Weird History video!
Great tea for insightful journal writing!
* Inspired from the Weird History videos about the Royal Family.
† The brand of the tea is Traditional Medicinals.
Ball Point Pen.
Der Spiegel in 1949 questioned it's authenticity as there were significant factual errors in the manuscript. The claim that the diary was found in the attic after the family was arrested is false. The police would have kept the pages as evidence for further charges and more arrests. Another lie was the wagons of food that were delivered to the house. The Dutch were starving at this point there would have been no food deliveries. Otto clearly wrote the book and had a sick obsession with his daughter's sexuality.
What's the evidence to back up that claim about Otto?
Conspiracy theory.
Well he was pimping his daughters out in the camp. That's why they were transferred to a different one.

I have a very strange question. Is Michael Swain narrating?
We want our real narrator back or we unsub
