A version of 'Anne Frank' is one of 4 books recently challenged by a Moms for Liberty Florida chapter.
Concerned parents and grandparents crowd the Martin County School Board meeting Tuesday to demand returning the more than 80 titles to the libraries' shelves.INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — An illustrated adaptation of"The Diary of Anne Frank" has been removed from the Vero Beach High School library after a parent group complained the book minimalizes the Holocaust and shows the young girl's thoughts about other female bodies.
The illustrated book, adapted by Ari Folman — the son of Holocaust survivors — and illustrated by David Polonsky was only available in the Vero Beach High School library. It contains illustrations of Frank walking among female nude statues that were"sexually explicit," Pippin said. Content in the book was"not a true adaptation of the Holocaust," she said.
The original Diary of Anne Frank, however, contains a Jan. 6, 1944, entry in which Frank, then 14, relates a story about asking a friend if she wanted to show each other their bodies, Frank's desire to kiss her and her feelings when she saw photos of the statues in her art history book.
