Established by Otto Frank in 1963Anne Frank Foundation"Otto is working hard to publish the diary of Anne and spread it to the world and has obtained the copyright of the work separately from Anne. Since Otto died in 1980, January 2016 The copyright does not expire on the 1st. " Since the Foundation believes that the journal was published after the death of Anne, we believe that the copyright will be extended to 50 years from the date of publication, such as the version published by the Dutch War Document Research Institute in 1986 It is said that copyright is effective until 2037.

Mr. Eve Kugerman of the Foundation said, "After the war, Otto cut and pasted and typed the two incomplete diaries left by Anne, made it into one piece and published the English version in the 1950s. From the purpose of the right, Otto can be said to be the "author" with respect to the version published, "On the other hand, Atar's member said," This book to testify the horror of war is written by "Anne alone Do not assert that "it is not something that weakens the weight of books that have been read for decades," and accuses the Foundation's action as "money problem".
