In 1980, as a result of a lawsuit in a german court, the German State Forensic Bureau (BKA) forensically examined the original diary manuscript. The analysis determined that significant portions of the manuscript was written with a fine ballpoint pen. Fine ballpoint pens were not available before 1951. Portions of the manuscript were added after the war. Anne Frank died in March 1945.

The BKA also determined that none of the manuscript matched the handwriting of Anne Frank. Earlier handwriting experts had determined that all of the manuscript belongs to the same person. Hence the diary was a postwar construct.

The real author of the Diary was Meyer Levin. He demanded payment for his work in a court action against Anne's father Otto Frank. Mayer Levin was awarded $50.000 and the matter was resolved quietly.

I remember reading the Jew explanation of this years ago. It was something along the lines that Anne Frank's father "revised and edited" her diary after her death to make it more readable. This other guy, Meyer Levin, was hired for some project to do with the dairy -- a movie, I think it was, or something like that. He did some writing, and Anne Frank's dad, being a good Jew, tried to stiff him. But the Jew writer Levin hired some Jew lawyers and got his money anyway.
