White privilege is a serious problem, both in the historical sense and in our modern era. The idea that one’s skin tone dictates our opportunities or lack thereof is, unfortunately, in 2022, a problem that we are still wrestling with.
Earlier this week, there was a debate on Twitter as to whether or not Anne Frank had “white privilege“. The person who made this statement is either uneducated about the Holocaust or is deciding to twist the historical facts to fit their own perspective.
Of course, she was white. As were all of the millions of Ashkenazi Jews who were murdered by the Nazis and their co-conspirators. Their skin color meant shit, they were only seen as the other because they were Jewish.
This assertion spits on the memory of Frank and is a harsh reminder of why the Holocaust must not be forgotten.
May Anne’s memory be a blessing and may we truly for once, learn from the past. Z”l.

Twitter is something else altogether. The things some people spew just for the sake of controversy!
