if that same amount of energy was spent to save the Franks lives they'd be alive now.

Look it up. He sued Otto Frank in New York and won a $50K settlement.

That one dates back all the way to the 1950's. Meyer Levin wrote a *play*, which was then not shown. He then went into a frenzy over it, blaming Cheryl Crawford (a theatrical producer) and Otto Frank of betraying trust and going against him personally. What's sad is that, after reading a French edition of the book while in Paris, Meyer became one of the Diary's loudest and most prominent supporters. It was his attempted foray into play writing that ended badly. And he did sue, yes, - he settled out of court in 1959, for 15 thousand dollars, losing any publication rights to the Diary (the legal rights he claimed regarding the *play* he himself authored *based* on the Diary) in the process. He settled as Albert Hackett, who wrote the play that *did* see the stage, and whom Levin accused of scenes from Levin's original play, was going to appeal. This was of course quickly picked up by contemporary Holocaust deniers as evidence of how the Diary they so hated was actually fake. But Levin actually wrote two books about his experiences, first The Fanatic, and some years later The Obsession. The titles refers to Levin himself, who believed rather publicly for a while that Crawford, Hackett, even Otto Frank... were out to get him personally, that it was a conspiracy to ruin his play. In the end, he admitted that he went rather too far with what had become a personal vendetta that did more harm than good.
