For him, that IS classy.
Classy is as classy does.
I was at an event last weekend, and heard this line from one guy, about his local schools - in small town Ontario, Canada. This shit is infectious. I called him on it, asking if he’d actually seen a photo of it or not.
This is a small enough town that photos of this (rather small and obscure) annual event from a few years ago made the front page of the newspaper, so what chance would there be that this litter box thing wouldn’t make the front page too? But this guy bought it completely.
He backed off when I challenged him, but I sensed he was mostly just humoring me. I don’t think he actually changed his mind.
Some of these people are such creeps, they like the idea, and go with it.
Came across this on Twitter. Hope it helps.
I’ve known this guy for along time, and don’t get a creep vibe off him. Just standard small town conservative. Which I suppose is creepy enough 
A Republican Congressional nominee in Texas is the author of an Anne Frank fanfic in which she converts to Christianity at Auschwitz.
WTF is a Christian psalm?
Oy vey. 
That is seriously offensive.
Thanks. The issue is that Georgia is pretty, okay, I’ll say it, backwards. There’s no way, given the mail situation from here to there for my ballot to actually get there within the time constraints now required by the law.
What the everloving fuck?!?! That’s some serious fornagraphy. And, of course, it completely ignores the simple fact that the Nazis did not recognize conversions away from Judaism. You have a Jewish ancestor? Great, you’re off to the camps.
On the downside, she becomes a Jehovah’s Witness and is still stuck in the camp.
Although I haven’t read Teague’s revisionist screed, I’m fairly confident that when they say
Anne’s father Otto Frank … seems to have been spared a tragic fate in Teague’s telling because of his interest in learning about Jesus,
It isn’t that because after his conversion he is no longer persecuted by the Nazis. No Christian fundamentalist author would suggest that being a Christian would make people less likely to persecute you, The theme is always that Christians are the most persecuted people ever throughout history. I assume that its more likely something like her father witnesses to a Nazi guard who is instantly converted (having never heard of Christ before) and gives up his evil ways, or that by skipping dinner to read his bible her father misses a general purge.
Probably the happy ending is that at least she gets to go to heaven if she’s Christian.
As a Dutch woman who grew up reading Anne’s diary and additional literature, I’m appalled. This is not only revisionism, it’s hijacking someone’s fate and suffering to make some sick point. Disgusting. Americans are in no way entitled to this story. This is ours, and ours to come to terms with, given that about ninety percent of Dutch Jewry was exterminated because we were a little too organised and cooperative.
And yes, her father was the only survivor. All the others in the secret annexe were killed in the camps.
That’s how he was able to get her diary published.
I think they’ve confused Anne Frank with The Little Mermaid somehow.
But wasn’t Anne Frank white?
“Fan fiction” about an actual person?
That seems more than a little weird.
Especially since we know most of her story from her own first hand accounts.
And we have the stories of the survivors who knew Anne and her sister Margot, from inside the camps. And even before that. The woman who was her best friend before she went in hiding, Hanneli Goslar, has recently passed. They went to school together in Amsterdam and saw each other again in Bergen-Belsen. We have a pretty good idea of what happened. In the 1980s there was a documentary made by Willy Lindwer which gave eyewitness accounts. Hanneli Goslar contributed to that as well.
There is nothing inherently wrong with fan fiction of historical characters, It runs the gamut from “I, Claudius” to "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire hunter.
But an to take such an iconic representation of Jewish repression and decide to fix her Jewishness, is absolutely repulsive.
