Sexed up Anne Frank riles surviving Swiss cousin

A novel for young people by a British writer about the boy who loved Anne Frank rubs the wrong way the only surviving relative of the teenage diarist who died in the Holocaust. Buddy Elias, Franks first cousin and an 84-year-old resident of Basel who heads a charity in her name, tells Swisster he is upset about the book and has communicated his concerns to the author who tells him she is changing the narrative.

A Swiss cousin of Anne Frank is sharply criticizing a book of fiction that sexes up the life of the Jewish teenager, famous for writing a diary while in hiding from the Nazis in Holland before she died in a concentration camp, aged 15.
