Description
When Tereska Torrès bought a copy of Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl for her husband the American novelist and film critic Meyer Levin, she didn’t intend to ruin his life. But from the moment he had the diary in his hands, Levin became obsessed with Anne Frank, and decided to write a play based on her diary. When his adaptation was turned down by a Broadway producer in favor of what Levin considered a “less Jewish” version, he started to feel he was the victim of a plot, and that Anne Frank had been betrayed. Pride turned into obsession and then paranoia. Torrès relates this unforgettable and fascinating account, against the backdrop of World War II, and from New York to Paris, Israel, and Croatia.
