Hm - I have yet to be able to se if Anne Franks Diary is anything like pornographic - but then again I'm not looking for a buggy man when I read a diary who's writer was killed in the worst genocide in the World - and that just 1 month before the camp she was at - was liberated by the US forces...(Bergen-Belsen KZ camp)

But again, in some groups - Anne Franks diary have been everything from a falsehood - until it was proven it was not - to now also pornographic in nature...

I'm not sure - she just look weird with an idea like that on her mind... But then again I'm still surprised how many is ignorant of WW2 and specially how ignorant they are when it comes to the killing of european minorities in that war...

if she had lived back then.

The diary is a testament of how Anne Frank remained optimistic, generous-minded, & loving despite the incredibly cruel circumstances that she & her family endured for two years, & that is what this stupid woman focuses on?

Had to read it in high school. Back then no one seemed to complain about what teachers felt was educational, and considering the time period it was written, it was very eye opening.

The "porn" reflects an adolescent girl with a curiosity about something all girls go through. To make an issue of this, considering the main theme of the book, is small-minded & downright tacky.

Nice to see you, Kimi!

She can breathe easier, the alleged "little pornographer" was murdered in the Holocaust after two harrowing years on the run from Nazi butchers. I feel sorry her kids have to put up with her. The book is more than fine for kids to read.

..the oldest version is the one Anne Frank wrote. You appear to have an accurate copy of the English translation. The version I read in 1971 is apparently the one you have.
What old copy? What arrogant douche-bag edited it in the first place? What else was cut out? Did you even bother to look up the word "pornographic"? It doesn't mean what you think it means. As the owner/operator of a vagina, how can you be embarrassed about someone else's vagina?

Talk about missing the giant point while obsessing about a small point that EVERY girl goes through.

Get a life, lady.

It's like being offended that Star Wars had a big hairy guy running around naked.
