Is this absurd?
A middle school teacher in Jefferson County, Texas has just been fired for assigning the illustrated version of Anne Frank’s Diary to eighth grade students.
The book, “Anne Frank’s Diary: The Graphic Adaptation,” is a graphical representation of the book that Anne Frank wrote when she was approximately the same age as these teenagers.
If Anne Frank wrote about it in the 1940s, don’t you think it’s appropriate for 13 year olds today to read it as well? Don’t you think the history in the book greatly outweighs concerns that schools should have?
Are people being too extreme with their issues with these books today?
Failing to address the antisemitic and Holocaust denial comments that appear under our posts commemorating the victims of Auschwitz would be a disservice to their memory.
We've chosen to block users who promote denial and hatred. This decision stems from our deep dedication to our mission. We need a secure space to do this.
Engaging in discussions with people and accounts that seek to abuse the memory of victims of Auschwitz is against the values we believe in. These individuals do not seek discourse; they aim to inflict pain. In this context, blocking is a necessary step to ensure that these harmful voices don't persist in their repetitive attacks on memory.
In today's digital age, social media platforms shoulder significant moral responsibility. They should actively counter hate speech and halt its normalization.
A platform that disregards the need to defend the memory of the victims demonstrates a disregard for creating a respectful and empathetic online environment.
Blocking users isn't a mere action; it's a practical measure. Often, reporting accounts that spread hostility remains an unanswered call. Blocking provides a way to protect the memory of people who suffered and were murdered in Auschwitz.
Our account has lost over 19,000 followers in the last six months. It's difficult to find a reason of such a trend.
That's why we keep asking for your engagement and support. You all help us to remember.

Spike: 🎶 Life's not a song
Life isn't bliss. Life is just this.
It's living
You'll get along
The pain that you feel
You only can heal by living
You have to go on living
So one of us is living. 🎶
