Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0300069073, Hardcover)

Meyer Levin`s overtly `Jewish` dramatization of Anne Frank`s Diary was rejected in favor of a play with a more universal message, conceived by Lillian Hellman and others in her circle. Levin was convinced that a conspiracy existed to delete the Jewish elements from the diary. Now Melnick draws on material never used before-including papers of Lillian Hellman, Otto Frank, and other key players-and substantiates Levin`s claims.
