Anne Frank's Pen
■■■■■
● FeaturedThe authenticity of Anne Frank's diary has been challenged over the years, with a peculiar detail about a writing utensil sometimes cited as 'proof' against it. This detail often causes confusion.

What People Remember
Some people believe that the presence of ballpoint pen entries in Anne Frank's original diary proves it was a forgery, as ballpoint pens didn't exist during WWII.
◉
What's Actually True
Anne Frank wrote her diary entries in pencil and ink. The ballpoint pen entries found in the diary were added *after* the war by a researcher who was annotating the diary. The actual diary, and the handwriting, were definitively authenticated as Anne Frank's.
