Anyone who claims Anne Frank - not people who read about Anne Frank but Anne herself - is privileged is deliberately trying to sound hip and controversial. The girl was persecuted and executed because of her religion. What can possibly be gained by even conjecturing that Anne Frank was privileged? The idea is ludicrous. Let’s look at ourselves instead. Those of us, like me, who have led privileged lives need to be honest. Let’s not waste time on pointless hypotheticals about people who were murdered for their ethnic identity 80 years ago.
