Yes, It Is Just Like The Nazis
Hey so remember Anne Frank? The Jewish young girl who hid in an attic and was killed by the Nazis? The emblematic person we think of when we think of victims of the Holocaust?Â
She did not die in a gas chamber or in a death camp. She died in a âtemporaryâ detention center for the mass deportations which preceded the death camps. She was in that camp because a patriotic neighbor ratted her out to the German deportation force. She died, not of a bullet to the back of the head or choking on gas, but of typhus. She contracted typhus because the Nazis couldnât realistically deport people at the rate they wanted to, because before the death camps their infrastructure couldnât handle the sudden influx of ethnic minorities they had decided to imprison, and because they didnât care about the consequences of that so their deportation detention centers were unhygienic and prisoners were underfed and overcrowded.Â
And she was picked up by the deportation force not because she was an illegal citizen but because, just like the US is doing with asylum seekers, she was part of a formerly recognized class of citizens who were legally redefined to lack citizenship by a new administration.Â
Anne Frank is exactly like the children who have already died in the United Stateâs detention camps. Exactly. Down to the very last detail. There. Is. Not. A. Single. Difference.Â
So unless you want to fucking tell me that Anne goddamn Frank was not a victim of the Holocaust, yâall can shut the fuck up with that âstop making concentration camp comparisons, youâre diminishing the suffering of the Holocaustâ bullshit.Â
