FAR-RIGHT OFFICIAL SUSPENDED OVER ANNE FRANK POST

-

A Sweden Democrats official was suspended by the far-right party for making degrading comments about Jewish teenage diarist Anne Frank. In an Instagram posting that has now been deleted, Rebecka Fallenkvis­t called Anne “immoral” among other things, according to Swedish media. Anne, who wrote a diary while in hiding in Amsterdam before she was captured, died at age 15 in a Nazi concentrat­ion camp. While it remained unclear what kind of point Fallenkvis­t wanted to make, she later said she had been misinterpr­eted.
