girl from Amsterdam, which she wrote at the age of 12 while her family and four other
Jews were hiding in the back room of a house during the German occupation.
Eventually, they were arrested and detained in a concentration camp, where Anne
Frank supposedly died when she was 14. When Otto Frank was liberated from the
camp at the end of the war, he returned to the Amsterdam house and "found" his
daughter's diary concealed in the rafters. The truth about the Anne Frank Diary was first
revealed in 1959 by the Swedish journal Fria Ord. It established that the Jewish novelist
Meyer Levin had written the dialogue of the "diary" and was demanding payment for his
work in a court action against Otto Frank. A condensation of the Swedish articles
appeared in the American Economic Council Letter, April 15th, 1959, as follows:
"History has many examples of myths that live a longer and richer life than truth, and
may become more effective than truth. "The Western World has for some years been
made aware of a Jewish girl through the medium of what purports to be her personally
written story, Anne Frank's Diary. Any informed literary inspection of this book would
have shown it to have been impossible as the work of a teenager. "A noteworthy
decision of the New York Supreme Court confirms this point of view, in that the well
known American Jewish writer, Meyer Levin, has been awarded $50,000 to be paid him
by the father of Anne Frank as an honorarium for Levin's work on the Anne Frank Diary.
"Mr. Frank, in Switzerland, has promised to pay to his race kin, Meyer Levin, not less
than $50,0OO because he had used the dialogue of Author Levin just as it was and
"implanted" it in the diary as being his daughter's intellectual work." Further inquiries
brought a reply on May 7th, 1962 from a firm of New York lawyers, which stated: "I was
the attorney for Meyer Levin in his action against Otto Frank, and others. It is true that a
jury awarded Mr. Levin $50,000 in damages, as indicated in your letter. 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. The action was
subsequently settled while an appeal from Judge Coleman's decision was pending. "I
am afraid that the case itself is not officially reported, so far as the trial itself, or even
Judge Coleman's decision, is concerned. Certain procedural matters were reported in
141 New York Supplement, Second Series 170, and in 5 Second Series 181. The
correct file number in the New York County Clerk's office is 2241 1956 and the file is
probably a large and full one & " Here, then, is just one more fraud in a whole series of
frauds perpetrated in support of the "Holocaust" legend and the saga of the Six Million.
Of course, the court case bearing directly on the authenticity of the Anne Frank Diary
was "not officially reported". A brief reference may also be made to another "diary",
published not long after that of Anne Frank and entitled: Notes from the Warsaw Ghetto:
the Journal of Emmanuel Ringelblum (New York, 1958). Ringelblum had been a leader
in the campaign of sabotage against the Germans in Poland, as well as the revolt of the
Warsaw Ghetto in 1943, before he was eventually arrested and executed in 1944. The
Ringelblum journal, which speaks of the usual "rumours" allegedly circulating about the
extermination of the Jews in Poland, appeared under exactly the same Communist
auspices as the so-called Höss memoirs. McGraw-Hill, the publishers of the American
edition, admit that they were denied access to the uncensored original manuscript in
Warsaw, and instead faithfully followed the expurgated volume published by the
Communist Government in Warsaw in 1952. All the "proofs" of the Holocaust issuing
from Communist sources of this kind are worthless as historical documents.
ACCUMULATING MYTHS
Since the war, there has been an abundant growth of sensational concentration camp
literature, the majority of it Jewish, each book piling horror upon horror, blending
fragments of truth with the most grotesque of fantasies and impostures, relentessly
creating an edifice of mythology in which any relation to historical fact has long since
disappeared. We have referred to the type already - Olga Lengyel's absurd Five
Chimneys ("24,000 corpses handled every day"), Doctor at Auschwitz by Miklos Nyiszli,
apparently a mythical and invented person, This was Auschwitz: The Story of a Murder
Camp by Philip Friedman, and so on ad nauseam The latest in this vein is For Those I
Loved by Martin Gray (Bodley Head, 1973), which purports to be an account of his
experiences at Treblinka camp in Poland. Gray specialised in selling fake antiques to
America before turning to concentration camp memoirs. The circumstances surrounding
the publication of his book, however, have been unique, because for the first time with
works of this kind, serious doubt was cast on the authenticity of its contents. Even Jews,
alarmed at the damage it might cause, denounced his book as fraudulent and
questioned whether he had ever been at Treblinka at all, while B.B.C. radio pressed him
as to why he had waited 28 years before writing of his experiences. It was interesting to
observe that the "Personal Opinion" column of the London Jewish Chronicle, March
30th, 1973, although it roundly condemned Gray's book, nevertheless made grandiose
additions to the myth of the Six Million. It stated that: "Nearly a million people were
murdered in Treblinka in the course of a year. 18,0OO were fed into the gas chambers
every day." It is a pity indeed that so many people read and accept this kind of
nonsense without exercising their minds. If 18,000 were murdered every day, the figure
of one million would be reached in a mere 56 days, not "in the course of a year." This
gigantic achievement would leave the remaining ten months of the year a total blank.
18,000 every day would in fact mean a total of 6,480,000 "in the course of a year." Does
this mean that the Six Million died in twelve months at Treblinka? What about the
alleged three or four million at Auschwitz? This kind of thing simply shows that, once the
preposterous compromise figure of Six Million had scored a resounding success and
become internationally accepted, any number of impossible permutations can be made
and no one would even think to criticise them. In its review of Gray's book, the Jewish
Chronicle column also provides a revealing insight into the fraudulent allegations
concerning gas-chambers: "Gray recalls that the floors of the gas chambers sloped,
whereas another survivor who helped to build them maintains that they were at a level
& " Occasionally, books by former concentration camp inmates appear which present a
totally different picture of the conditions prevailing in them. Such is Under Two Dictators
(London, 1950) by Margarete Buber. She was. a German-Jewish woman who had
experienced several years in the brutal and primitive conditions of a Russian prison
camp before being sent to Ravensbrück, the German camp for women detainees, in
August 1940. She noted that she was the only Jewish person in her contingent of
deportees from Russia who was not straight away released by the Gestapo. Her book
presents a striking contrast between the camps of Soviet Russia and Germany;
compared to the squalor, disorder and starvation of the Russian camp, she found
Ravensbrück to be clean, civilised and well-administered. Regular baths and clean linen
seemed a luxury after her earlier experiences, and her first meal of white bread,
sausage, sweet porridge and dried fruit prompted her to inquire of another camp inmate
