Описание: As one of the first American journalists to enter the newly liberated concentration camps in the closing days of the Holocaust, Meyer Levin wished the world to know of the horror he had found. Seizing upon Anne Franks Diary as a poignant voice to tell the tale, he helped to arrange for its American publication and secured from Annes father the right to adapt it for the theater. But Levins overtly Jewish treatment was rejected in favor of a play with a universal message, conceived by Lillian Hellman and others in her circle. Annes thoughts about her Jewishness were distorted, omitted, and reworded in this new version, and Levin was convinced that a conspiracy existed to delete the Jewish elements from the diary. He spent the rest of his life protesting this suppression of Annes legacy and fighting for the right to produce his own play. Now Ralph Melnick draws on material never used before--including papers of Lillian Hellman, Otto Frank, and other key players--and substantiates Levins claims.

Melnick unravels the story step by step, establishing the bias of the opposition to Levin. He also describes the wider cultural struggle of the 1950s of which this episode was only a small part. Documenting the conspiracy against Levin and, therefore, ultimately against Anne Franks work, he shows that something meaningful was at stake in this struggle over the Jewishness of the destruction of the Jews.
