More and more Jewish activists and journalists are calling out the disgusting exploitation and abuse of Anne Frank by a radical left-wing group calling itself the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect. Despite its claims to have been founded by Otto Frank, an investigation by Emma Green at The Atlantic found there was no basis for such a claim.
The Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect's own position is all too clear.
The Anne Frank Center in the U.S. no longer sees itself this way. Rapaport, the organization’s new board chair, said it is neither a Jewish organization nor a Holocaust organization.
Steven Goldstein, the gay rights activist who once called for hacking Sarah Palin's cable channel to show gay porn, purged Holocaust scholars from the organization and this was his disgusting idea of a Yom HaShoah commemoration. Aside from the Center's obsessive attempts on social media to minimize the Jewishness of the Holocaust (something the Center has hypocritically attacked Trump for), it convened a panel featuring, among others, Susan Kalev.
Who is Susan Kalev? She's the woman militant animal rights activists bring out to justify PETA's comparisons of Holocaust victims to animals. Kalev claims to have had her "consciousness" awakened by PETA. Kalev explicitly conflates the Jews murdered in the Holocaust with animals. Kalev's story appeared in Eternal Treblinka: Our Treatment of Animals and the Holocaust.
"There I was introduced to PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) and the Animal Rights movement and to people passionate about animal exploitation, human health and the environment. My consciousness awakened, my life changed, I became one of those people. A hidden world of cruelty and slaughter of the innocent resonated with me and brought back memories of my mother’s stories of the Holocaust . As if all that came before culminated to bring me to this point in my life, this point of feeling the pain of others."
She has also written...
“I totally embrace the comparison to the Holocaust. I feel that violence and suffering of innocents are unjust. I believe that the abuse of humans and animals and the earth come from the same need to dominate others. I feel that I could not save my family, my people, but each time I talk about cruelty to animals and being vegetarian I might be saving another life. After knowing what I know about the Holocaust and about animal exploitation I cannot be anything else but an animal rights advocate."
Every time animal rights activists obscenely compare a hamburger to the Holocaust, they respond to criticism by dragging out Susan Kalev.
Worse still, Susan Kalev writes of having met Peter Singer, "the modern founder of the animals rights movement (author of Animal Liberation) and understood that yes, we can all find our own way of making a difference in the world."
Peter Singer advocates assorted Nazi-like ideas including euthanasia for disabled infants and the elderly.
On his faculty page, Mr. Singer argues: “Newborn human babies have no sense of their own existence over time. So killing a newborn baby is never equivalent to killing a person, that is, a being who wants to go on living. That doesn’t mean that it is not almost always a terrible thing to do. It is, but that is because most infants are loved and cherished by their parents, and to kill an infant is usually to do a great wrong to its parents.
“Sometimes, perhaps because the baby has a serious disability, parents think it better that their newborn infant should die. Many doctors will accept their wishes, to the extent of not giving the baby life-supporting medical treatment. That will often ensure that the baby dies,” Mr. Singer continued. “My view is different from this, only to the extent that if a decision is taken, by the parents and doctors, that it is better that a baby should die, I believe it should be possible to carry out that decision, not only by withholding or withdrawing life support — which can lead to the baby dying slowly from dehydration or from an infection — but also by taking active steps to end the baby’s life swiftly and humanely.”
More recently, in an April interview with WND’s Aaron Klein, Mr. Singer said bluntly: “I don’t want my health insurance premiums to be higher so that infants who can experience zero quality of life can have expensive treatments.”
As the Nazis put it, Life unworthy of life.
