The Holocaust Museum in Washington spoke of “reckless” words by Kennedy Jr. during a meeting on the global corona crisis. “Making comparisons to the Holocaust, the murder of six million Jews, for a political agenda is outrageous and deeply insulting. Those who carelessly appeal to Anne Frank … are taking advantage of history,” the museum said in a statement on social media.
Kennedy Jr., nephew of the assassinated US president, once again turned against corona measures and mandatory vaccinations in Washington on Sunday. “Even in Adolf Hitler’s Germany you could still cross the Alps to go to Switzerland. Or you could hide in the attic like Anne Frank.”
On Tuesday, the American went to the dust for his claims. “I apologize for referring to Anne Frank, especially to families who suffered the horrors of the Holocaust. My intention was to use examples of past barbarity to show the dangers of new control technologies. To the extent that my comments have hurt, I am sincerely and deeply sorry,” he tweeted.
