...Well, okay, the stated reason Otto gave for creating a stage play and a movie is that it WAS relevant to me (i.e. the story had "universal relevance"), which is one of the things his critics criticized him for

I mean one of the primary things I think is distasteful about Goodrich and Hackett's adaptation is that it transforms Hermann and Auguste van Pels - who were Jewish victims of the Holocaust - into horrible selfish people and abusive parents

Arthur, you have very strong opinions. Many of them I agree with. But I would gently and politely suggest backing off of this one. While being a holocaust victim doesn't give you a "be a shitty person for life" card, I think it does shield you from criticisms of how you elect to

...Because they attacked Jews for Anne Frank’s sexuality not being talked about, as if her sexuality was the least bit relevant to her murder.

... Yonah's article didn't say that OP's tweet was a bad tweet but that doesn't excuse lumping the two people together just because OP quoted Yonah

Yonah is not a "her" and as they have been tagged multiple times and I know them I assume if they have a problem with me they can tell me themselves
