C’est peut-être la fin de près de quatre-vingts années d’interrogations. Après six ans d’enquête sur cette affaire judiciaire non élucidée, le mystère entourant la dénonciation d’Anne Frank et de sa famille aux nazis pourrait avoir été élucidé.

C’est Arnold Van den Bergh, un notaire juif, qui aurait trahi la famille Frank pour sauver la sienne, selon Rosemary Sullivan, l’auteure canadienne d’un nouvel ouvrage intitulé Qui a trahi Anne Frank ? (Harpercollins, à paraître le 19 janvier). Un documentaire sur CBS en accompagne la publication. » | Le Monde avec AFP | lundi 17 janvier 2022

Anne Frank 'Posthumously Baptised as a Mormon'

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Anne Frank, one of the most revered victims of the Holocaust, was posthumously baptised by the Mormon church, according a researcher examining the church's proxy records.

The allegations come just a week after The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints apologised when it was brought to light that the parents of Holocaust survivor and Jewish rights advocate Simon Wiesenthal were posthumously baptised by church members at temples in Arizona and Utah in late January.

Mormon researcher Helen Radkey, who revealed the Wiesenthal baptisms, said this week she found Anne Frank's name in proxy baptism records dated Feb 18, showing the ritual was performed in the Santo Domingo Temple in the Dominican Republic.

The Mormon church almost immediately issued a statement, though it didn't mention Frank by name.

"The Church keeps its word and is absolutely firm in its commitment to not accept the names of Holocaust victims for proxy baptism," the Salt Lake City-based church said. "It is distressing when an individual wilfully violates the Church's policy and something that should be understood to be an offering based on love and respect becomes a source of contention." » | AP | Friday, February 24, 2012

Gies and other employees of Anne's father, Otto, smuggled food and books to the Franks as they hid with the van Daan family for two years, from 1942 to 1944, in a secret annex above Frank's business premises in Amsterdam.

Anne's diary, a log of life in hiding, which ended in betrayal, is one of the most enduring records of the Holocaust. Anne was sent to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where she died of typhus.

Mrs Gies found Anne's diary after the family was deported and locked the papers away, handing them over to Otto Frank, the family's sole survivor, after the war. >>> | Tuesday, January 12, 2010

Le Hezbollah fait censurer la publication d'extraits du Journal d'Anne Frank
LE MONDE: Des extraits du journal d'Anne Frank ont été coupés d'un manuel scolaire au Liban à la suite d'une campagne du Hezbollah, selon qui l'ouvrage fait la promotion du sionisme. La polémique a éclaté après que le Hezbollah eut appris qu'un manuel scolaire utilisé par un établissement privé de la capitale contenait des extraits du Journal d'Anne Frank.

Al-Manar, la chaîne de télévision du Hezbollah, a dénoncé l'ouvrage, estimant qu'il se concentre sur la persécution des Juifs. "Ce qui est plus dangereux encore est la manière dramatique et théâtrale dont le journal est relaté, il est chargé d'émotion", estime la chaîne dans un reportage diffusé la semaine dernière. Il se demande pour combien de temps encore le Liban "restera une arène ouverte pour l'invasion sioniste de l'éducation". >>> LeMonde.fr avec AFP | Vendredi 06 Novembre 2009

Dutch Teens Convicted of Insulting Jews Ordered to Visit Anne Frank House
HAARETZ: A Dutch judge has ordered four teenagers to visit the Anne Frank House museum after finding them guilty of discrimination for insulting Jews at a rally.
