Obviously it was published after her death.

 She wrote it with fountain pen and pencil. Later people, researchers
etc, added comments with ballpoint. But what does that matter?
 

Any time a manuscript is altered, or a painting, it regrettably casts suspicions upon it's verity.
I'm shocked this material is neu to you.

 From January 1955, Meyer Levin filed lawsuits against Otto Frank, Cheryl Crawford and Kermit Bloomgarden accusing them of fraud, breach of contract and plagiarism. The charges were eventually upheld only in terms of plagiarism. The trial was settled on appeal in a settlement: Otto Frank paid Meyer Levin $50,000, and the latter then waived his adaptations of the diary. (26 October 1959). After this ruling, Meyer Levin continued to publicly voice his displeasure. When he did stage his play in Israel in 1966, tensions again ran high. In his 1973 book The Obsession, he gave his own take on the whole affair.
The $50,000 settlement amount awarded to Meyer Levin was seized upon by 'diary deniers' in the 1980s to label the diary of Anne Frank as a forgery, written by Meyer Levin at the behest of Otto Frank.

It was Meyer's wife, Tereska Torres, who passed along the recent French translation of Anne Frank's Diary to her husband in the late summer of 1950. Tereska, a member of the Free French Army whose first husband had died in combat while she carried their child, had grown increasingly aware of the survivor's guilt afflicting Meyer, in part because of the marginal role he had played in the struggle to stop the slaughter. "This is the guilt of the living," he would write after returning home from the war, "a guilt that has invaded all humanity." Yet for all the Holocaust's universality of meaning, it was the Jews who had "sense[d] this guilt more painfully because they were closer to the center ... yes, even ... the Jews of America ... who escaped because their forebears made the journey from Europe in steerage." And if Jews everywhere questioned why they had survived, few did so with greater intensity than Meyer. "Isn't there something we must do to pay for being alive?"
