The Complicated History Of Anne Frank's Diary 

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.

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.

The fact she believed in the good of people while experiencing what she did speaks volumes

I can't believe this book is being banned in some states. Disgraceful

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

It's a disgrace that this Diary has to be censored. It changes the whole story.

The house and attic are one of the most memorable museums you'll ever visit.

I feel sorry for annes mother She was obviously depressed but Being a fifteen year old Anna didn't realise this that edith was depressed

Well today class we have a substitute teacher😂👍

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

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.

Here before there are comments that focus solely on the narrator and not on the subject.

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

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!

The fact that some people didn’t believe Anne wrote them because apparently they were too mature for a teenager 🙄

God, it's such sad history. Poor girl.

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.

May their memory be blessed. Never again.

Rest in power and peace 🙏 Anne Frank 12 June 1929 ~ Feb/Mar 1945 @ 15 years young⚘

I remember reading the book in way back in middle school.

Thanks!

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.

Great video. Though its weird how scared RU-vid gets whenever anyone discusses these topics. They even had to put a content warning, as if we don't know about that horrific event.

It's still not clear who betrayed them. 😢

I just finished reading one of the many books written about her, hoping to find who the traitor was and as always, nothing.

The backstory is just as fascinating as the book itself. So many dimensions to it, but that’s what humanities does

This has been my favorite book since being a child.

The sad truth is that had she survived, her diary would probably not have been as famous.

“This child was trying to write a book while hiding from the nazis… with a ballpoint pens…”

Going to be interesting to see how long the ballpoint pen comments stay.

I know the script is the same regardless of who narrates the video, but I’m far less inclined to continue watching the video when I hear it isn’t Tom.

I wanna hear about the Michael Swaim Diaries😉

Any comment on Anne's ballpoint pen diary entries?

“Whoever is happy will make others happy too.” - Anne Frank

Such a great reminder of how horrible antisemitism is.

What about the part that was written in ballpoint pen?

7:50 the argument that it swaps between ink and pen and is therefore fake is such a strawman argument

since i've read comments about the new narrator, i can't unhear it

The book i read in school was titled "The Diary of Anne Frank" ...the "young girl" part is new to me. Mendela effect, or public school censorship?

It’s fugazi.

Sounds like it’s all about the money, not getting her story out there.

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.

Didnt the father embellish like a good portion of it

She used a fountain pen, not a ballpoint pen.

Ball point pens

The book only gets air once every 10 years? Wow.

I now understand a bit more about her story

Ball Point Pen.

Nice video.

Here’s a better question. Why is the holocaust museum in Washington D.C?

Ball point pin….

Thanks for this! ✍

very cool upload. thanks

I wanna know what happened to the OG narrator

Cool stories. I really like your channel. I also started making stories, not as professional as yours, but I think for a beginner very good.

Hello fellow noticers.

*Anne Frank:* _Still the World's Hide 'n Seek Champion!_

You misunderstood so much about this topic and omitted some important aspects.

Matthew McConaughey, Nick Saban, and Alanis Morissette are all avid diary writers.

This channel isnt the same with the distinct voice of the other narrator

Operation paperclip 📎. America is a illusion

8:59 i thought Eleonore Roosevelt had a have in getting it published in the USA? I do know for sure that she wrote the preface of one edition…

So its not a real autobiography?

She and her family were betrayed by a neighbor

It's sad 15 American publishers turned it down.

Anyone else think Anne would have cringed at the thought of someone reading her "real" diary?

So they start a legal war over it. We never learn.

Is that SWAIM??

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?

I've got a request for a topic. How about the REAL history of the creation of Bill Finger's Batman.

Awww man, it’s the JV narrator today.

The diary was written with a ball point pen , they did not exist at the supposed writing timeline

A+ video! Awesome topic and history, so complicated!

I know they buried her body with others, her sister and mother and five hundred families…..

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)

Who are you and what have you done with my narrator !!!???

2:19 i have read about that while reading her diary like mentions of puberty

This girl is better than me

How times have changed since 2010.. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Wrong narrator

Please stop trying to use other voiceover guys, they make your videos unwatchable. Especially, this guy.

Man that blind and deaf girl really could tell a good story

Complicated is how Otto got himself in court fabricating the diary

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.

I would really like to know what it was like to go through puberty during that time. Parents just don’t understand.

It’s a little more complicated than just weird, so many questions yet we’re haters if we broach such questions about #Ourhistory

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.

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.

Totally thought I recognize this voice. It’s Michal swaim from cracked.

1:46 That is a beautiful diary, so iconic!

I have a very strange question. Is Michael Swain narrating?

NOPE, other narrator pls

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)

I'm half way through the video and still no "new" news....sad to use this as clickbate...

This Michael Swaim narrating, right? Formerly of Cracked and Small Beans?

Nahhh not this guy again

Why the narrator change? Old one better new one bad.

Having ANOTHER Weird History drink! Drinking BLACK CHERRY SHASTA*† in a fountain drink cup...while watching this Weird History video! It's the Unofficial Pop of Libraries in a fountain drink cup! * From the Weird History video "How Shasta Gets Away With Imitating Coke" † Looking forward to the day Black Cherry Shasta is a tab in the fountain drink machine!

Sob really wanted to listen to this one
