By European law, written works enter the public domain 70 years after their author dies. Anne Frank died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in , but Anne Frank Fonds — the charitable foundation set up in her memory — argues that her father Otto made such significant changes to the manuscript that he had "earned his own copyright. Some, such as French parliament member Isabelle Attard, have criticized this position , arguing that it lessens the impact of the diary.
A spokesperson for Attard — who put a copy of the book up today on her own site — said that adding another author to the diary "is weakening the weight it has had for decades, as a testimony to the horrors of this war. Frank's diary enters the public domain on the same day as Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf , a grim quirk of history and copyright law that Attard's spokesperson says heightens the importance of its free publication.
Anne Frank's diary, a "very important work about the horrors of the second world war" not entering the public domain at the same time as Hitler's infamous manifesto was "inacceptable" for Attard, her spokesperson said.
The foundation fighting its publication threatened legal action against those publishing the diary for free. It points instead to a reprint of the diary by the Dutch State Institute for War Documentation, a posthumous publication that pushes the date the book would enter the public domain back to January 1st, For now, though, the book remains online, making Anne Frank's important and illuminating look at her young life free to read.

I just remember watching this in our religious studies class in year 7. Our teacher warned us that it would be intense and on our last day of watching it, so many people were in tears by the end. Admittedly, I shed a few tears too. From a filmmaking and acting standpoint, it was fine at best. But the subject matter was handled well and did not come across as distasteful. Honestly, it's absolutely disgusting how far we can go as human beings.
Because hate and intolerance leads to nowhere, it only brings endless suffering to others. I don't know how Hitler could sleep knowing that people were dying and surviving in inhumane conditions. I said surviving instead of living because that was not a lifestyle that no one should go through.
