Why wasn't anne franks diary published in its entirety initially?

Answer 1

For three reasons:

1) There was material in it, which while true, was very unflattering to Edith Frank

2) Otto Frank's editors suggested he leave out material about Anne's budding sexuality.

3) Frank and his editors agreed to leave out minor things like Table Tennis scores, etc.

Answer 2

Anne Frank's diary was not published in its entirety initially because her father, Otto Frank, omitted some personal or intimate passages to respect Anne's privacy. Additionally, some parts were considered too graphic or controversial for the time period. It wasn't until a later edition was published that included more of Anne's original writings.
