Parts of "her diary" were written in fine ballpoint pen. Ballpoint pens like that weren't available until well after she died.
On the extremes, on one side some claim the entire diary is fraudulent and Anne never existed (not likely), on the other side some claim it was only "two scraps of paper" that had the ballpoint writing on it (not true). Personally, I think the facts paint a clear enough picture:
Anne likely existed and had a diary. After the war, her father wrote a fictional story, loosely based around that diary, to make money from his daughter's death while garnering sympathy for himself and international jewry, as jews do. Whether or not he had a real copy of his daughter's diary, and how much of it he doctored, is unknowable and frankly moot.
Either way, the fact remains that what is published as "Anne Frank's Diary" is not her diary at all. It is a fictional, dramatized story written by Otto Frank, who profited greatly from publishing it. Since 2015, he is officially recognized as "co-author" of that book, following investigations and copyright disputes.
What is this?
A recursive satire of the whole affair. A ballpoint sketch, which never existed. With a signature, that cannot be. Drawn with pens that aren't real. Except none of it is even drawn at all. The whole thing is generated. A delusion of a mind as artificial as the rest of it.
