...Regardless of whether the ballpoint pen story is true or not, the "diary" is a fraud, just like the title of Sheppard's booklet says. While the book was probably based on the writings of Anna Frank, those writings were so heavily edited (and rewritten) by her father (not to mention publishers and translators) that the finished book is virtually unrecognizable from the original texts. Anna Frank's "diary" wasn't even a diary; she wrote it as a novel, mixing fact and fantasy...

This is not funny. It;s horrible because the joke is about someone who actually died in the Final Solution. If Sachsgate deserved 40,000 complaints, this deserved 100, 000.

Geezuz. Half thecomments on this vid are criticizing the joke as tasteless and the other half are anti-semitic. What a humorless slash scary world it is in which we live.
