Anne Frank&#x27;s legacy has been the subject of many lawsuits over the years. To date it has all been either about money or control of content that none of the participants created. Otto Frank was using what tools he had to achieve his ends, and he did a pretty good job of it, I have never had the feeling that he did not do anything short of giving his life to put the legacy of his daughter out there for the world to see in the way he deemed the best possible.<p>But with Otto Frank now many years dead and the link with the living past fading I think the time has come to reveal the diary as it was made, rather than as it was interpreted to limit the fall-out for other living people whose sensibilities might have been offended by Anne&#x27;s razor sharp pen.<p>I&#x27;m sure there will be people that will abuse that, but the good and the bad need to be weighed and in my opinion at least the good of a public domain version of the book <i>far</i> outstrips the possible bad that could come of this.
