Otto Frank, father of Anne 

She could have gone on Oprah sob!

oh,Im here

+Anne Frank That's sick, really? You're saying you are a little girl who was killed by Nazis in the Holocaust? Sick.

yea she is such a tragedy

Did he buggery! For what *possible* rhyme or reason? Preposterious.

What about the sister Party of the NSDAP - the NSB in the netherlands before the war, who send tens of thousand of soldiers to Germany?

Miep Gies was actually Austrian, like Hitler. She became Dutch in 1941 when she married Jan Gies.

For reals..i could only hope i would have had same courage as the helpers who faced tremendous risk by hiding jews. They are the true heroes.

@@nbognar I think mr Kugler wasn’t Dutch either I think he was Austrian too

Miep Gies and Leslie Gold wrote Mrs Gies autobiography. It eas very intresting to read the story of the Frabk Family from another perspective . They all came out of it well as i recall .

+Jennifer Weaver I think you are right, and have been saying the same thing. It must be talked about, read. We mustn't repeat these same atrocities again. I fear that we are on our way to it happening again.

I get a hard time from people too for spending so much time researching history

Your statement about the importance of remembering history is well spoken - I remember my father, who was a WWII veteran, reading a book on Nazi atrocities and him telling me that we are morally obliged to never forget what happened. Years later, after his death, I remembered this conversation and finally resolved to read The Diary of a Young Girl- the brutality and evil represented in this book are, I believe, surmounted by the nobility of the human spirit and the inner beauty of Anne Frank.

Remember what?

No one has forgotten it's just because no one really want to do anything about it, like genocide in Syria. We know about it yet we're not trying our hardest to stop it

Jeguri naziste

It was this video that gave me the person for my history presentation. We had to chose a person from history and present their lives to other people. I was so sad to hear that everyone in my class didn’t know who she was, so I was happy to educate them about her. I have to present her to my whole school on the 15th. Hopefully I succeed to present her life, and Anne’s life, and Otto as well.

NB it a very dry read. not interesting at all. people who get through it don't swallow what they read and think critically. they are just proud and feel they did something noble by reading it/finishing it. watch diary Anne Frank Otto Frank hoax. it points all the discrepancies out. it's said they were hiding and had to be quiet at all times. yet they did gymnastics, sang, vacuumed during the day, smoked cigarettes, had fresh produce come to the house( in Poland, rations were very limited for everyone) soldiers included. it was war time afterall. so Frank's have fresh produce brought to the spice factory building with all the workers there during the day and moone questioned where this produce went. especially when no one was eating fresh veg. and the whole book shelf added to the door that went to the half of the building where they were staying. workers who worked there for years all of a sudden see a bookshelf places where the archway/stair s were to the back if the building. if the workers let police know. they would be rewarded with more rations. which they prob would of. lots of inconsistencies in the diary. but they're only found with study and critical thinking. I'm just a person who doesn't automatically swallow whatever is fed to me. I like to analyze

"Wednesday, April 5th, 1944 My dearest Kitty [the name for her diary], I don't want to have lived in vain like most people. I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to people, even those I've never met. I want to go on living even after my death and that's why I'm grateful to God for having given me this gift which I can use to develop and express all that's inside me. Yours Anne M Frank"

Jenna Denjern he made 12 million or so. lived in Switzerland to for tax reasons. a playwright sued him for $50,000 and won. if anyone questioned the validity of the "diary" he quickly brought them to court. I think he settled outside court once to avoid scrutiny. a Swedish man, Ernst Zundel and another man are in a vid here on RU-vid's.Anne Frank Otto frank diary hoax. check it out

@@ribbone1975 They're just jealous and want their own name in the media trying to ride off the coattails of the Frank's is nothing new.

Dmitry Ford Anne Frank lives on and her credibility grows as denial seeks to confuse some with an irrelevance!

that's history. One day, all will be irrelevant.

Dmitry Ford Nope! All in History becomes relevant as we explore its reaches toward learning from it!

Dmitry Ford History is never irrelevant, it's usually repeated.

Linda Spontak Buy seico

she didn't love her mom tho...

Cassie Long Anne did love her mum she just never understands Anne the way her dad did she's a daddy's girl like me

@@cassielong8966 she did but her mum didn’t understand her as well as her father does

she was a teenager growing up in tough circumstances. She clashed with her mother and was more a daddy's girl, but absolutely she loved her mother deep down.

I love her because she was so much like many of us at that age; selfish, spoiled and tactless, mixed with brilliance, love, depth and introspection. When I first read the book, though I was a few years younger than she was at the time, I so identified with her thoughts and feelings. In the best way possible, I think Anne Frank was just an ordinary little girl living during extraordinary times, and through her tragic death, the world was able to see the shining brilliance that existed in her. I've read many, many books in my life, but no writer has touched me as much as Anne Frank.

What would've happen?

He didn't fall in a fountain, he was somewhere on some ice park or something, and he fell in because the ice cracked.

Irvin Valadez where did you get that informatie from ...???

Irvin Valadez Did you know Hitler fell in love with a Jewish girl. And, some of his relatives are Jewish.

Hyper Coffee Total BS!

Did you publish it? It sounds like a great story!

@@dreamer9375 haha that was 3 years ago when I was 10. Sadly I haven’t published it yet, I lost all of the pages I wrote on for that story. But I appreciate it dearly!

As a child, I heard about the attrocities towards Jews from my father. As I grew up, I learnt more about it. I feel humans don't learn from their mistakes. See around, even now, genocide is still happening in a subtle manner! Why can't...why can't people accept people as they are...live in peace, leave others also in peace!! Don't understand. Competition for power, money...all futile

Hope you'll continue the idea, it's fantastic.

@@dogwithavlog344 Broo it's amazing! Pleasee if you've got the time, then pleasee continue it. It was damnn awesome

Dorte Kuhler..Feel sad, yes, but please don't feel guilty, you are not guilty of anything! I'm an American woman, and the horrific history of American slavery is not my fault, and the Holocaust is not your fault! Be happy and Love Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, because he loves all of us who believe in him and love him...peace and love to you:)

much love to you stay safe

@@swiater1 AMEN.

@@swiater1 what about the rest of us…what about Anne who was Jewish..doesn’t God love her?

@@krislv9219 Anne was a child when she was slowly tortured and killed, God is a merciful God, and Jesus is Our Saviour, l believe that Anne is resting in peace until Our Lord's 2nd coming, have faith in God, believe the good news:)

she still lives on through it. With the movie they made then.

+Vicky Lynn Yes, she does. Through her diary, she stands for the triumph of the spirit of evil and death.

+Nir Hakimian that sick no way wouldent go that far

theodore Christopoulos​ I have to admit having a big noise is a big advantage, not just that I smell your money from far but also it help me to type faster, like a third hand. I wish I had 35. If I did I will be antisemitic like you. Not everyone has your talent to be free of any morality. Good for you althouristic fake nazi. Like your idol said he killed 60 millions for the sake of humanity. He even was stealing all work of art from European museums and bombed cities for the sake of humanity but that is another subject.... Bye bye fake nazi. Go watch holocaust documentaries and get horny

+Nir Hakimian typical a of a Jew like you who sticken body is rotting lmao like i said i dont agree with Nazis i cant wait til israel falls no one like you and the Muslims not even the american want you obama rejects you all the time lol

Now *2023

Her cats were called Moortje, Moffi and Anne/Peter's cat was called Mouchi (Meaning Fluffy). Moffi as a cat kept the office building at Prinsengracht mouse/rat free, Mouchi was for hugging and loving a pet. Anne had to leave Moortje at her original home, so everyone thought the Frank family fled and escaped. Shalom.

GaryKildall Things are changing in the world. This never will be happen again.

Isabel Neves it didnt even happen the first time?

Debra Franklin Yep. I was right. Sterilisation.

Mango ZGreen. Well I am looking forward to it.

Anne was so smart

yes u are so right

***** your a mut dog a ugly one at that. fly back to your blood county ass Freck.

that's right so very smart.

thank you a normal kind person

Mordecai Slicecock - really? I have family members who were at a camp when they were children. It happened. Your denial of this truth is only that... a denial.

Mordecai Slicecock - lol your brain is shot. It was a murder camp and yes children died. I have 2 family members who were children that died. Hitler killed himself bc he was a coward who committed war crimes on innocent children and adults . He was a monster. Now go away.

+Helmut Sonntag so?

Why? Her dad Otto worked for the German Army up until 1944 and fabricated the whole story.

Anne Frank's father, Otto, was a Nazi collaborator and war profiteer. Otto ran a profitable company which manufactured and wholesaled materials to the German army. The notorious 'annex' in Amsterdam, in which the Franks were 'hiding', was actually a comfortable flat above the Franks' Amsterdam business where the family lived without any money problems. Otto collaborated with the Dutch Nazis as well as with Germans. Actually he only ended in a work camp when he tried to cheat the Wehrmacht for more profit. You can read that in the 2003 book by Carol Ann Lee "The Hidden Life of Otto Frank". www.amazon.com/The-Hidden-Life-Otto-Frank/dp/0060520833 Ms. Lee documents the fascinating story of Otto Frank's wartime collaboration with the Nazi regimes, both in Germany and the Netherlands. She writes that Otto manufactured and wholesaled pectin and other products to the German army. "Pectin was a preservative that could be put to many uses, depending upon the type of pectin it was. All pectin was useful for food production, but certain kinds could be applied as a balm for wounds and as a thickener for raising blood volume in blood transfusions. Other types of pectin were used in the steel industry as a hardener and in the oil industry as an emulsifier. Therefore, it is possible that the Wehrmacht used the pectin they bought from Otto Frank's company for the war industry." Otto paid blackmail to his Dutch Nazi factotum, Tonny Ahlers, during the war to cover up his Jewish identity to his Nazi business partners and after the war to cover up Otto's wartime collaboration with the Nazis to his "diary" business partners. Probably Otto also paid blackmail to keep secret that the alleged "diary" of his daughter Anne in actual fact had been written by the Jewish kitsch writer Meyer Levin. As a matter of fact it looks like Otto was still paying blackmail to Tonny Ahlers at the time of Otto's death in 1980! codoh.com/library/document/1544/#ftnref3

At NO point in the book did she use the word "collaborator"! Soon after the Germans invaded Holland, he had to leave the company. That doesn't smell of collaboration to me! Yes some of the decisions he made can be argued weren't the best, as Carol Ann Lee points out but he had to go into hiding along with the rest of his family and others and as for the suggestion that Anne's diary was written by someone else, I'm not even going to argue about something so ridiculous. Of course you have proof or sources and I've read some just now about Meyer Levin and it was probably his assumed right of the *play* script he argued about but I shall post a more accurate and in depth report of all this in a moment.

***** bad news how?

Yes I read the diary,it was an eye opener to the holocaust

@@belindagough8272 Otto wrote the "diary" after the war, in order to make money.

He caused their deaths.

No kidding.

Rope innit

Roمتقغصpe

PungiFungi I bought the diary in Dutch last time I visited Amsterdam, wish I could read it.

PungiFungi The original language was English. The Jewish kitsch writer Meyer Levin wrote the "Anne Frank diary". The Zionist author Meyer-Levin was specialized in kitsch "fictionalizing history" novels written in the first person like a "diary". Otto Frank translated into Dutch, what Meyer-Levin wrote.

WS3838 OK here's a link to the court case you are LYING about again: ny.findacase.com/research/wfrmDocViewer.aspx/xq/fac.19570312_0041130.NY.htm/qx But keep lying Mr Nazi shows readers what kind of pathetic human being you really are. Here's part of the text of the case with comments to help you understand what it is saying. Please tell us where the court case mentions Meyer was suing Frank because he had written the diary. In essence the court case was about, breach of contract regarding a theatre production of the diary. "The defendant Frank moves to vacate a warrant of attachment, or in the alternative for an increase of the security furnished when the warrant was granted. *_The defendant Frank is the owner of the literary property in a book, originally published in the Dutch and French languages under the title "Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl" (referred to as the Diary)._* (The court establishes that Frank is the owner and the book was originally published in Dutch and French) In 1952 the Diary was published in English in the United States and it has also been adapted into a play which has been running in New York for an extended period with marked success. *_It appears from the papers that the plaintiff, an author, journalist and playwright, in 1950 made an agreement with Frank by which the plaintiff was exclusively to represent Frank's interests for the exploitation of the Diary in the United States._* (Frank made an agreement with Meyer regarding the exploitation of the Diary in the USA) In furtherance of this agreement Frank on March 31, 1952, authorized the plaintiff, as his agent to negotiate exclusively for one year for presentations of the Diary and to enter into agreements with respect thereto, subject to Frank's approval of the agreements or any adaptation of the Diary prior to its public presentation. On November 21, 1952, the plaintiff and Frank entered into a written agreement which not alone terminated the March 31, 1952 authorization, but on December 21, 1952, *_virtually excluded the plaintiff from participation in the fruits of the dramatic or like presentation of the Diary._* (This makes it plain even to the most stupid person that the case is about a theatre production, not authorship) The plaintiff claims that his execution of the November 21, 1952 agreement was procured by fraud and the resultant controversy is the occasion for this suit. *_The action is brought against Frank and Bloomgarden, the producer of the dramatic version of the Diary._* The complaint contains four causes of action, one, the third, against Bloomgarden alone, with which we are not here concerned. The first and second causes of action are stated against Frank, and the fourth against both Frank and Bloomgarden. The second cause of action is for breach of the 1950 agreement. It realleges from the first cause of action the relation of the parties and the terms of the 1950 agreement, and alleges further the *_defendant's refusal in violation of the agreement to authorize the plaintiff to write a dramatic adaption of the Diary or to have others collaborate with him for that purpose._* It alleges due performance and concludes with *_a demand for $50,000 damages. Standing by itself this is an ordinary claim at law for breach of contract."_*

And a criminal too.

My friend, you are over-thinking things. First, people who comment on You Tube videos are not at all representative of humanity. I think we tend to be more eccentric in some ways. Second, I doubt even one tenth of the people spouting hate here actually hold hate in their hearts toward Jews. They are trolls who see it as a sport to infuriate people and then watch the uproar they have caused. Third, by even replying to the trolls, we are rewarding them and making them even more powerful than they are. Trolls are sad and lonely people who resort to a really pathetic form of recreation - hurting people's feelings. This discussion and all discussions about Jewish-themed videos will be plagued with trolls because the trolls are so well fed here. Jews are a very easy target because so many people are so outraged (rightly so) by anti-Semitic comments. My answer: Don't get down on humanity. Feel sorry for the sad trolls, but don't feed them. They are like the begging crack whores that we cannot save. Maintain dignity in the face of adversity, and stay above their provocation. Remember, there are very few trolls, but each one can make a lot of noise. What would Anne's answer be? Something cheerful, no doubt - soomething that reflected her faith in the general goodness of people, yet also witty...

Beena Plumber What if I do think that commenters on these videos are a representation of humanity? How aren't they?

Chichi Chichi Oppai Then you disagree with me (so what?), and you are free to live with your own pessimism. I simply do not share it, and for a good reason. I have known far too many people away from the Internet - in real life, in my neighbourhood, not on TV - and the people I meet there, in real life, are nothing like this. If you live in a neighbourhood where you are surrounded by people who hate, then you are free to stay there and accept things, take steps to change things, or move somewhere else. YT has its trolls. You have the same three options - accept, work for change, or leave. Best wishes.

Brenda Sinsigallo well said.

Some people want the truth not a sob story to cry over.

And not the mother?

They have videos now on here you can watch ❤️❤️❤️

do not say such thing, i have read her diary, and this video is very similar to what happened to her!

***** Typhus was only "common" in Nazi German concentration camps were people who had been dispossessed of everything they owned were imprisoned in appalling conditions. Undoubtedly you're able to provide some verifiable evidence as to why the diary is a "fiction", right? ;-) xx

***** "With Otto Frank's death in 1980, the original diary, including letters and loose sheets, were willed to the Dutch Institute for War Documentation, 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. On 23 March 1990, the Hamburg Regional Court confirmed the diary's authenticity."

***** Well, she wrote with a fountain pen.

***** Otto Frank was a businessman. The family used to own a bank. They weren't exactly badly situated until the Anti-Jewish laws were introduced.

Mordecai Slicecock hi, obviously you are a troll. hope whatever horrible things that are going on in your life to make you leave such a comment will get better soon. have faith.

Why are you so hateful?

+Helmut Sonntag she not, long ago some kind people let her and her family stay in their attic but eventually they found her while she was hiding she write a diary, please dont say that she is a character she is a hero

+Helmut Sonntag you want to be like Hitler?

+Helmut Sonntag nope she was a real person do your research

She might of been real but she was only put in a work camp.The whole diary thing has been fabricated and was also proven to have been wrote in ballpoint pen which wasn't available when she was alive.

ash wednesday You are proven to be a boring troll

+safe chaudhry And you also believe in Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny. She wrote a few pages and her poppa Otto did the rest.

***** Yes. To prove this to yourself you will need to look at the actual documents. That will cost you some money but you will never be the same again.

***** You can start by observing the very large (reproduction) posters in the windows of the Anne Frank museum. There are pictures available on the internet. Ask yourself two questions. Does the cursive writing look like that of a teenage girl? Does the manner or style of verbal expression match that of a teenage girl? The Anne Frank Diary is fiction promoted by her criminal father.

***** You must conduct your own research, grasshopper.

***** In that case you will stay stupid. :)

I imagine so yes, the camp was liberated in 1945, I assume he went in at around September 1944. He may not have been in there long

The glorious red army?? I hope you don't need a treatment against hallucinations.

In case anybody reads this, her diary was originally published on June 25th 1947. So the claim that someone else wrote it in 1951 is obviously not true.
