The Meaning of Her
With all the rise in hatred against marginalized groups of people, Anne Frank has been the center of the hatred. People on Twitter saying she had “white privilege,” which I can assure you, she did not.
Anne’s story has been twisted, told, or disregarded in so many ways.
As a half Jewish woman myself, I am always trying to find the meaning of life. She was the meaning of what hate could do. When we read her diary, we expect her to still be alive by the end, but unfortunately, she wasn’t. She was dead before she turned 18. What really angers me the most, is that people like stupid politicans tend to make her look like she wanted to die, or that she had a choice to die. NO. She didn’t. She didn’t want to go into hiding and then have to go through hell, at the hands of aggressors. It’s not the blatant hatred, it just shows how little they actually know about Anne.
With all my research and interviews, I have found that she was a fighter, but then when she thought she had no one left, she gave up. But in instances, she is fighting with alongside us, trying to preserve her name, legacy and heritage.
With the Holocaust becoming a debatable subject, (It shouldn’t be, but here we are), she is needed now more than ever. The problem is that schools are trying to ban her and make her look like she never existed.
It is disgusting.
It’s something that has bothered me so much. Because of Anne, I am doing so much to talk to survivors, their families and other historians about the Holocaust and Anne Frank.
The issues I have with politicans trying to compare everything to the Holocaust is always weird, but the way that America is running right now, is almost like their is going to be a dictatorship and no one will help us. They did that with Tr*mp and they might soon in 2024, if we don’t elect someone GOOD and I do mean GOOD.
The problem is that Anne Frank has become someone that we can just “joke” about and we honestly, it sucks that she is.
How do we stop hatred that seems to be growing every passing day?
It’s a fight that I’m willing to fight.
