In Europe, as elsewhere, genocide as what happened to Anne Frank, was not the first step. The suppression
of the media, criticism of the ruler, oppression was first. You are naive if you do not think it could happen again, happen here. Why it is important to stop trump/miller/maga now.
As a second gen Russian Jew whose grandparents fled extinction via the infamous pogroms, I take offense at your article. There need be no competition between suffering, persecution and crimes against humanity. ICE seizing 4 year old girls at their preschools and kidnapping them to parts unknown is horrifying. Yes, horrifying just as Anne Frank’s traumatic experience was horrifying. It matters not whether someone is documented or undocumented, it does not change the cruel, racist and viscous attacks on people based on temporal and trivial criteria. When my great grandparents fled Russia, they got here with no papers or other official process. It is an obscenity to believe anyone is less worthy of respect and care based on paperwork.
Just this week a woman from
Brazil was taken into custody, seized, on a street corner, leaving her 12 yr old daughter standing on the street in a strange city. The woman was here as a tourist and was 9 months pregnant. You want to compare that horror with the horror of Anne Frank? You need to win some battle saying only Jews truly suffer?
Anne herself would write this same comment were she alive.
I have relatives who died in the holocaust. I feel the same way. It is not a competition. suffering is suffering. wherever and whenever it always deserves compassion and understanding.

As Someone whose parents survived the actual holocaust we’re allowed to have differences of opinions here in America. Have a great day.

A result of disgustingly irrational Christian aggression in both cases too.
I didn’t read the article, but the artwork caught my eye. 🖼️🎣
