Croatia outraged as school curriculum drops Anne Frank

A decision to drop Anne Frank’s diary from Croatia’s school curriculum has sparked outrage in the Balkan country, with nearly 3,000 people signing a petition today demanding its restitution.

The Jewish teenager wrote “The Diary of a Young Girl” while hiding from the Nazis in an Amsterdam attic from June 1942 to August 1944. More than 30 million copies have been sold in 67 languages.

The book was on an optional reading list which has been entirely removed from the curriculum.
