Otto Frank's Marriages

The name of Frank's second wife, Elfriede Geiringer-Markovits, should be added in the biographical box at the top of the article. Her name is mentioned in the body of the entry itself.45750born (talk) 15:25, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rescue of Otto Frank

We've just added this page to NZHistory.net.nz about the ship that rescued Otto Frank. Is this worth adding as an External Link in the article?Jamie Mackay (talk) 03:31, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Third Frank Daughter?

In the body of the World War II section, the Franks are described as having had a third daughter, unnamed, who died of typhus during their move from Frankfurt:

On their journey they encountered many obstacles, such as their third daughter, newly born to die of typhus.

I am preparing a timeline of the Frank Family for a museum exhibit, and can find no verification anywhere that the Franks had a third daughter. The closest I have come is the that it is possibly being confused with Meip's younger sister, mentioned briefly in her memoir Anne Frank Remembered. The citations at the bottom of the paragraph make no mention of the third daughter.

Does anyone know the source of this information? If not, should it be deleted? If there is a valid source, please cite. This is either a vital addition to the topic, or a serious factual error. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.49.73.37 (talk) 18:28, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Anne Frank house donated - the money was used to purchase the house next door

See the afterwords in the Definitive Edition. The entire block was purchased and was to be demolished. Protesters saved the house which was eventually donated. 108.46.109.221 (talk) 13:18, 31 August 2011 (UTC)JB[reply]

Otto Frank - Family History

I am beginning to research the family of Otto Frank, who would have been approximately my grandfather's age. My grandfather was a Herbert Frank, and our Jewish family is also originally from the Frankfurt area. My mother claimed to have been a relative, but my aunt says that we are not. Ant assistance would be appreciated greatly. Dfhawk (talk) 05:28, 27 March 2012 (UTC)dfhawkDfhawk (talk) 05:28, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Swiss children

"...moved to Basel, Switzerland, where he had family, including children with whom he shared his experiences", can be read as implying that further children were born to him and his second wife in Switzerland and that he shared his experiences only with them, both of which seem very unlikely. I edited it to "...both moved to Basel, Switzerland, where he had family, including relatives' children, with whom he shared his experiences." If this is incorrect, please change it back.
