The phone number of Cissy van Marxveldt ('van Beek, Bussum') was in Otto Frank's diary for 1946. [4] In 2006, Van Marxveldt's son Leo Beek said during an interview that Otto Frank had asked his mother in 1946 for her opinion on the quality of his daughter's diary. He also wanted to know from her whether she considered it suitable for publication. Van Marxveldt responded positively.[5]
