The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and the Anti-Defamation League say anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. made deeply offensive comments when he suggested things are worse for people today than they were for Anne Frank. The teenager died in a Nazi concentration camp after hiding with her family in Amsterdam for two years. During a Sunday rally in Washington, Kennedy complained people’s rights were being violated by public health measures. He said: “Even in Hitler’s Germany, you could cross the Alps to Switzerland. You could hide in an attic like Anne Frank did.” The museum and the ADL say the comparison was inaccurate and troubling.
