The Anne Frank Case: Simon Wiesenthal’s Search for the Truth

Having miraculously survived the Holocaust, Simon Wiesenthal dedicated his life to exposing the crimes of the Nazis. In October 1958, a friend told him that neo-Nazi demonstrators in Linz, Austria, had interrupted a performance of The Diary of Anne Frank, claiming that Anne Frank was an invention. Deeply concerned that many local teenagers considered Anne's diary a fake, Wiesenthal set out to prove her existence by finding the Gestapo officer who arrested her family. Bibliography. Glossary.
