Parents in Germany Pressure Anne Frank Daycare Center to be Renamed
Anne Frank
The Kita Anne Frank day care has operated in Tangerhütte, Germany for more than 50 years. But now, parents are pressuring the facility to change its name, according to German media reports.
Jewish teenager Anne Frank kept a diary of her time in hiding from Nazis during World War II. Anne and her family were eventually discovered and sent to Auschwitz, where Anne ultimately died.
According to The Jerusalem Post, the school will likely be renamed to “World Explorers” because migrant parents found it difficult to explain Frank’s significance to their children.
City officials, on the other hand, remained steadfast in their decision to change the name. According to the report, the renaming is part of a broader concept that aims to celebrate the diversity of the children attending the daycare center,
