 Is this some kind of weird attempt to defend the Nazis? People stop at
nothing.

Is this some kind of trollass attempt to deflect from the dearth of knowledge you had on Levin's script tussle?
Once more you got your ass handed to you and it's all very predictable that you project onto me now.

"The diary has been validated by numerous experts, including the Dutch
Institute for War Documentation (NIOD)."

Yep.

"These claims have been debunked by numerous experts, including a
detailed forensic analysis conducted by the Netherlands State
Institute for War Documentation, which confirmed that the diary was
indeed written by Anne Frank, and the handwriting, ink, and paper were
consistent with the time period"

Sadly that doesn't erase the controversy over Levin's $50K settlement, nor does it make the entry of the ballpoint pen to the milieu any less likely to arouse suspicions among certain types.

Lawrence Graver's fascinating account of Meyer Levin's ordeal is a story within a story. What began as a warm collaboration between Levin and Anne's father, Otto Frank, turned into a notorious dispute that lasted several decades and included litigation and public scandal. Behind this story is another: one man's struggle with himself—as a Jew and as a writer—in postwar America. Looming over both stories is the shadow of the Holocaust and its persistent, complex presence in our lives.
Graver's book is based on hundreds of unpublished documents and on interviews with some of the Levin-Frank controversy's major participants. It illuminates important areas of American culture: publishing, law, religion, politics, and the popular media. The "Red Scare," anti-McCarthyism, and the commercial imperatives of Broadway are all players in this book, along with the assimilationist mood among many Jews and the simplistic pieties of American society in the 1950s.
Graver also examines the different and often conflicting ways that people the world over, Jewish and Gentile, wanted Anne Frank and her much-loved book to be represented. That her afterlife has in extraordinary ways taken on the shape and implications of myth makes Graver's story—and Meyer Levin's—even more compelling.
