The Anne Frank Fund was sent up by Anne’s father, Otto Frank, to hold the copyright of her diary and the proceeds. He also set up the Anne Frank Foundation to turn their hiding place into a museum and run education projects. The two organizations have been at odds in the past over ownership of the name Anne Frank, with the Fund presumably well off from book and rights sales, and the Foundation claiming it was short on funds. When Rafael Alvero decided to create a musical based on Anne Frank’s life, he approached the Foundation for approval and received their go ahead. But with the musical set to open at the end of February, the Anne Frank Fund has threatened to take legal action to stop the production, saying they did not grant any rights for the musical.
