Recent guest editorial, in print edition, entitled “A Growing Reminder of the Past at Holocaust Center” was unbalanced and penned by an adolescent.

Neither the touted Holocaust Center for Humanity nor Anne Frank Tree makes much difference for Palestinians.

Tolerance and acceptance has bypassed them. Jewish holocaust survivors ignore them.

Only the universal and inclusive has rights to the public’s Peace Garden at Seattle Center.

True Anne Frank symbolizes peace, dignity and hope – for all, while exploited Anne Frank denies peace, dignity and hope to Palestinians.

As important a lesson, survivors of the holocaust were not exclusively Jewish. Just ask the far greater number of Russian, Pole, gypsy and Catholic holocaust survivors about their experience. Ask my uncle, Louis, who fought Germans and lost his lower arm in bid to liberate concentration camps.

Last November, Anne Frank House [Center for Anne Frankism] divulged that the dad, Otto, actually wrote the diary.
