Maybe you should save that energy for Sharon Dogar's Annexed, a novel that still shows up on YA reading lists about the Holocaust even though it's a crappy perfunctory paint-by-numbers cash-in ("Peter POV fic") that literally throws in a (highly improbable) sex scene

(They were living in an attic and never more than 20 feet away from their parents so no I don't think there's much possibility anything happened between them Anne kept out of her diary and Dogar's "historical speculation" was obviously clickbait to move copies)

I'm not mad at Otto Frank for expurgating the diary for its initial publication - that's obviously what Anne intended All the other stuff afterwards, *especially* the Goodrich and Hackett adaptation for stage and screen, is completely fair to get mad at him for

Did Otto Frank have ANY other means of supporting himself that we know of? I mean, he lost everything. I don't begrudge him trying to survive in a world that literally took everything from him.

The diary's success was already enough to set him up for life financially before the play and the movie were made And even assuming A play and movie had to be made, they didn't have to be THIS play and movie That's exactly what Meyer Levin was mad about

I didn't bring up money as the reason he made the decisions he did,

I wasn't necessarily defending him, but I was suggesting that IF he didn't have any other means, or even if he lived his life afraid of not being able to escape at a moment's notice, well...I can't really blame him for any of that.

Okay but the idea that Otto approved the direction Goodrich and Hackett went with the script because it would sell the most tickets is the least flattering possible motivation to give him It was already a good bet that any adaptation of the book would be successful
