Reddit reviews The Diary of Anne Frank: The Critical Edition

This is the narrative of many holocaust deniers and has been since the diary was published. It has been proven to be authentic in every conceivable level. Otto Frank won every lawsuit to do with the authenticity of the book. So far as I understand the book was never examined in any of these lawsuits by a third party, so there was at least some ever-so-slight valid level of suspicion.

When he died the book was willed to the Dutch government, they examined it, deemed it authentic, and then published the data that proved it's authenticity. Despite this fact, the deniers still use the same claim. Now they just state the opposite of what actually happened and hope no one looks it up.

> With Otto Frank's death in 1980, the original diary, including letters and loose sheets, were willed to the Dutch Institute for War Documentation,[87] who commissioned a forensic study of the diary through the Netherlands Ministry of Justice in 1986. They examined the handwriting against known examples and found that they matched. They determined that the paper, glue, and ink were readily available during the time the diary was said to have been written. They concluded that the diary is authentic, and their findings were published in what has become known as the "Critical Edition" of the diary.

Here is the actual published work that includes the results from the Dutch investigation.

I found one listing with the DIARY OF ANNE FRANK title on amazon, but this is the only one I've been able to find. You should order it and when it arrives see if it has the same title or if it altered by the time you receive it.
