Anne Frank's Diary - A Hoax?
François:
Well I read but this is not clear for me. This is confusing. This is possible today my mind is not clear also...
I mean the link in my previous post is a quite old article and I do not know what to think about... (quote below) :
(because experts do not mean skillfulness)
On the other hand I understand the discussion about, with significant information.
Simply I would like to know the final status (if possible) : hoax > yes | no (delete as appropriate)
--- Quote ---Mr. Barnouw, speaking from his office in Amsterdam, noted that the institute, a branch of the State Department of Education, had prepared the book, which appeared in a Dutch edition three years ago. To document its findings fully, the institute called upon the experts at the State Forensic Science Laboratory, a branch of the Dutch Ministry of Justice. A summary of its scientific report is included in the 719-page book. Handwriting Analyzed
Miss Frank's handwriting was closely analyzed by experts, as were specimens of her writing and those by 78 of her classmates. The experts took into account that sometimes Miss Frank used normal cursive lettering and sometimes a disconnected printing style. This is a common characteristic ''applicable to the writing of young people,'' the experts said. Samples of her writing are included in the book to support their conclusion that the diary was indeed written by Anne Frank alone.
The Forensic Science Laboratory report also points out that the paper, ink and glue in the diary and some of her accompanying loose sheets all existed in the early 1940's, before Miss Frank and her family were betrayed in their hiding place in Amsterdam and sent away to concentration camps.

Please, in populating that way, this is insulting me, but feel free to do it...
Of course I read only the titles, are you serious?
Let me say I think this is a stupid remark/question?
So you can say that again, I will do again the same answer.

Please calm down :D The use of a smiley " :) " means there is no attack or whatsoever, just an indirect hint that the answer to your question is in the thread. You're the only one seeing insults. Take it easy and relax.

François:
mkrnhr,
I am wondering if you have youself read the thread, because there is no definitive answer within the thread

but serious doubts, argued (I took time to re-read again, and did my personal research).
Finally my conclusion is this way :
--- Quote from: Laura ---...considering what we have learned about how our CURRENT history is being manipulated, and knowing that human nature is pretty much the same across the centuries, not to mention psychopathic natures, one wonders just how much of ANY of our history is anywhere near close to the truth!!!

[Please do not say I am sycophantic towards Laura, this is factual that she is able to read big pile of books for getting knowledge - I am periodically too lazy for doing the same (cyclothymic ? > more severe :,bipolar disorder ?) ]
