	Fictionwise eBooks: Meyer Levin
		Levin attended the University of Chicago, where, as a student reporter, he covered the sensational 1924 murder trial of Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold, in which Clarence Darrow defended the two young rich men who had killed 14-year-old Bobby Franks for the thrill of it.
		Levin's frustrated attempts to dramatize the diary of Anne Frank led him to write two novels (The Fanatic in 1964 and The Obsession in 1973) that dealt with his belief that his treatment of the material was rejected because of his strong anti-Communist stance.
		Levin's last published work was The Architect (1982), in which he revisited early-20th-century Chicago in a fictionalized treatment of the life of Frank Lloyd Wright.

	Amazon.de: English Books: An Obsession With Anne Frank: Meyer Levin and the Diary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Levin, an American novelist and journalist, was among the figures instrumental in publishing and publicizing The Diary of Anne Frank in the United States.
		Levin, by contrast, descended into a paralyzing and terminal despair when his attempts to become a central guardian of Anne Frank's legacy were rebuffed by Anne's father, Otto Frank.
		Meyer Levin, a Jewish writer relatively well-known in the 1950s, and one of the most successful Jewish writers to write about Jewish themes at that time, was the first to review Anne Frank's diary in the States.

	Judaism: Remembering Anne Frank
		The ground for Meyer Levin's obsession with Anne Frank was prepared during his service as a war correspondent in the European Theater during WW II.
		Levin saw early on that the Diary could be adapted for the theater and sought authorization to take on this project.
		This turn of events convinced Levin that he faced "an antagonism to who he was, to his world view and his way of expressing it."(11) This conviction stayed with him for the rest of his writing career and helped set the stage for his obsession.

		Meyer Levin's 1956 novel is historical fiction in the tradition of Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy--both a compelling story and a meticulous analysis of the different psychologies of the two youths.
		Levin decided to tell the tale at that point because Leopold, still in prison, was being considered for parole, and it seemed appropriate for the case to be revisited.
		Meyer Levin was a news reporter during the Leopold and Loeb case.

	Saving the Child: The "Universalisation" of Anne Frank [Article]
		Meyer Levin had been a war correspondent in 1944 and 1945 for American and Jewish press agencies, had reported on the last months of the war, the Battle of the Bulge, the liberation, on the fate of the survivors, and of the Germans he met.
		Levin not only attempted to act more or less as Otto Frank's agent in the search for a producer for the possible stage-adaptation of the diary, he also involved himself in no uncertain fashion by putting himself forward as the author, a conflict of roles which would soon prove to be fatal.
		Meyer Levin reproduces here Anne Frank's own attempts to invest her life with meaning and to interpret Jewish fate as "exemplary", an aspect of Anne Frank's Diary which, thus openly stated and thereby open to discussion and criticism, may have provoked unease at the time.

	TERESSA HENDRY: Was Anne Frank's Diary a Hoax?
		Frank, in Switzerland, has promised to pay to his race-kin, Meyer Levin, not less than $50,000 because he had used the dialogue of Author Levin just as it was and "implanted" it in the diary as being his daughter's intellectual work.
		Yet it is to be noted that both Otto Frank and his accuser Meyer Levin, are Jewish, so a similar charge would hardly be applicable in pursuing this subject to an honest conclusion, in fairness to all.
		Frank used the work of Meyer Levin to present to the world what we have been led to believe is the literary work of his daughter, wholly or in part, then the truth should be exposed.

		Complicating matters: Levin was chosen heir to the Kellner throne back when the WB still fell under the Turner umbrella, meaning Meyer had no part in determining the net's management structure.
		Levin serves as president of the Hollywood Radio and Television Society -- and he's not the first to be pushed from his job while president of the org, leading Levin to joke that being head of HRTS "is the equivalent of the Sports Illustrated cover curse."

	Audacious Review
		Meyer Levin is one of those persons, once relatively famous, well-known still in the world of film and belle lettre, but a blank in the mind of the general public today.
		Her letters to Levin are one of the high points of the book, eclipsed only by Levin's own adventures in a jeep, roving ahead of American forces in France and Germany to seek out the first glimpses into the Nazi Holocaust.
		Levin's play was produced by the Israeli army and might have attracted a significant following if he had not called a press conference in which he denounced his myriad enemies.

		And whatever the politics of the psychonanalysis in the novel--certainly whatever your views as to the validity of Levin's conclusions--it's impossible to deny that Levin's psychological interpretations of the case are a marvelously clever and intriguing piece of literature.

		But once the WB returned to Meyer's portfolio at Warner Bros. after Kellner's departure from TBS, Meyer is said to have been uncertain about whether Levin was up to the task and thus pushed to bring Ancier (who had been working with Kellner at TBS) back in the chairman's role.
		Levin was the third executive hired at the WB during its prelaunch phase in mid-1994, as head of comedy programming.

	Compulsion - Meyer Levin - eBooks
		Novelist Meyer Levin covered the Leopold-Loeb trial as a student reporter and, some 30 years later, returned to the subject -- and the reporter's perspective -- in novelized form in Compulsion, published in 1956.
		Fiction allowed Levin to project himself inside the heads of the murderers (Leopold was still alive and in prison at the time), to explore elements in their behavior -- such as their homosexual tendencies -- not easily confronted at that time.
		Levin's novel is in two parts, "The Crime of the Century" and "The Trial of the Century." It explores the reasons the young men chose to commit a "perfect" crime -- a crime that was otherwise meaningless -- and it dramatizes the remarkable summation by their attorney that saved them from the gallows.

		Meyer Levin, who had done so much to promote the book and its adaptation, early on worked with Otto Frank and Doubleday on negotiations.
		For decades, Levin continued to write and talk about how unfairly he felt he had been treated and argue that his play in which Anne's Jewishness was central was a more authentic adaptation of the diary.
		Levin believed that the play should express a uniquely Jewish experience and should be steeped in the history of Jewish suffering.

		Meyer Levin had seen in the writing of young Anne a "voice" who could speak for the millions of anonymous victims.
		Levin spent the rest of his life obsessed by the silencing of his own play in favor of a less Jewish version.
		The complicated story of Levin's tragic obsession is well documented in two books that are worth reading: "An Obsession with Anne Frank: Meyer Levin and the Diary" by Lawrence Graver (University of California, 1995) and "The Stolen Legacy of Anne Frank" by Ralph Melnick (Yale, 1997).
