Original Note:
The diary was not written in ballpoint pen. In 1959 a graphologist left minor notes in ballpoint on some pages. These were later mentioned in a 1980 report, which itself was misinterpreted (accidentally or otherwise). The pages of the diary are also visibly in fountain pen. https://fullfact.org/online/anne-frank-diary-ballpoint-pen-meyer-levin-false-claim
