A major aim of the AFF is to protect the literary works of ANNE FRANK and of her person and that of her father Otto H. Frank against defamatory statements and attacks. Accusations of this nature, generally emanating from racist and extreme right-wing circles, form part of the «Auschwitz Lie».
In 1986, the Netherlands State Institute for War Documentation (NIOD) in Amsterdam published a scientific investigation (Critical Edition) on the authenticity of the Diary of ANNE FRANK. The forensic laboratory of the Netherlands Ministry of Justice in Rijswijk examined handwriting, papers, glue, inks, etc. The result confirms the authenticity of the Diary.
The authenticity of the Diary has also been confirmed by a decision of the Hamburg Regional Court dated 23 March 1990. The AFF reserves the right to instigate criminal proceedings against any attack on the authenticity of the Diary of ANNE FRANK.
