Kumpf
claims, “I didn’t kill nobody, I don’t even kill a fly. I was 17. I was

What would Anne Frank say?
Anne’s
father, Otto,
collaborated with the Nazis during WWII, profiting financially by doing business
with the German army. After the war, he was forgiven.
What
would Anne say
about her own father having collaborated with the Nazis?
Would
Anne agree
that her father should have been judged by one standard, while others, like
Josias Kumpf, should be judged by a different standard—a double
standard?
Would
Anne be on
the side of forgiveness for men like Josias Kumpf, or would she argue that,
unlike her own father, they should never be forgiven?
What
would Anne Frank think
about how the Holocaust story has been exploited, and is still being exploited,
to further special-interest political and cultural agendas?
Should
agencies of the U.S. Government, like the Office of Special Investigations (OSI), have
double standards for judging men who collaborated with the killing of unarmed
civilians? Should the OSI judge Americans by one standard, and “foreigners”
by a different one?
