A New York Court awarded $50,000 to an American novelist Meyer Levin, to be paid By Otto Frank the father of Anne Frank as an honorarium for Levin's novel "Diary of a Young Girl" also known as "Diary of Anne Frank". Mr. Otto Frank, had promised to pay to a Jewish novelist Meyer Levin not less than $50,000 because he had used the literary creation of author Levin in toto, and represented it to his publisher and the public as his late daughter’s original work.
Otto Frank later decided on a Broadway production of the same novel but did not pay Meyer Levin for use of his novel for Broadway production whcih was against the terms of contract. hence Meyer Levin sued Otto Frank for his writings, and the New York Court Jury awarded Meyer Levin $50,000, for his 'intellectual work'.
The Jury awarded $ 50,000 dollars as compensation to be paid by Otto Frank father of Anne Frank to Jew novelist Meyer Levin who wrote Diary of Anne Frank. That award was later set aside by the trial justice, Hon. Samuel C. Coleman, on the ground that the damages had not been proved in the manner required by law as it was not based upon "legal" evidence of loss. The reason was that if Writer Meyer levin had written the said novel under his own name and sold it as it was a fiction, then it would not have sold so many copies. Because Otto Frank father of Anne frank gave this fictional novel name of his dead daughter and projected to gullible public as “real” story of Anne Frank that so many copies were sold and windfall profits were made. However in further appeal against the order of Judge Coleman, by Jewish novelist Meyer Levin matter was compromised out of court between the parties.
Jewish writer Meyer Levin had approached the Court for his claim for damages on account of writing the “Diary of Anne Frank”, He had also won his case from the Jury, He would not have withdrawn his Appeal had he not been paid out of court by Otto Frank, to avoid media publicity. So Otto Frank did pay Jewish writer Meyer Levin $ 50,000 dollars or thereabout for writing ‘Diary of Anne Frank’.
Complete details of the case are available in case titled Meyer Levin Vs Otto Frank, File number 2241-1956 in the New York County Clerk’s office.
In 1980, Otto Frank sued two Germans, Ernst Romer and Edgar Geiss, for distributing literature denouncing the diary as a forgery. The trial produced a study by official German state forensic bureau, the Bundes Kriminal Amt [BKA] forensically examined the manuscript, which at that point in time consisted of three hardbound notebooks and 324 loose pages bound in a fourth notebook, with special forensic equipment. In the end, BKA clearly determined that none of the diary handwriting matched known examples of Anne's handwriting. The bureau determined that everything in the diary was written by the same person. The person that wrote the diaries had used a ballpoint pen throughout. Unfortunately for Herr Frank, the ballpoint pen was not available until October 1945 whereas Anne was known to have died of typhus in 1944. The German magazine, Der Spiegel, published an account of this report stating that;- (a) some editing postdated 1951; (b) Experts had held that all the writing in the journal was by the same hand; and thus – (c) the entire diary was a postwar fake.
Yeah, the NY Times link and the quoted article aren't the same. And the co-author that was added is Otto Frank, not Meyer Levin. You tried.
I'll stick with the court docs, and not a Facebook screed, which is exactly what article you put in quotes and pretended was the NY Times article is.
I must add I am absolutely shocked that a holocaust denier would lie so poorly. You guys should be much better at this by now.
