Foreign Ministry spox rebukes German FM: Anne Frank diary not about ‘pseudo universal values’
Foreign Minister spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon issues a strong rebuke of German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas over remarks on Anne Frank’s diary.
In a tweet yesterday, Germany’s foreign ministry quoted a statement from Maas marking Frank’s birthday that said the Dutch Holocaust victim’s diary as “is more relevant than ever before as a warning against discrimination, marginalization and persecution and as a symbol of humanity.”
“Anne Frank’s diary is NOT a warning about wishy washy pseudo universal values,” Nahshon writes on Twitter. “The attempt to ‘universalize the lessons of the Shoah’ is nothing less than a dishonest rewriting of history.”
