One of the classes that impacted me the most in university was the class I took on Gender and Genocide. Much of the class was spent considering the ethics of remembrance and of representation. My major essay for the class considered this through the figure of Anne Frank—that which endless representation has made of the real human being—by analyzing two episodes of season two of American Horror Story. I’m damn proud of that paper. The course and the work I did individually inform how I teach and how I talk about representation.
I’ve had this adaptation on my to-read list for a long time. I was wary of it. Reading the adaptation notes and Ari Forman’s explicit naming of the ongoing atrocities in Palestine as genocide made me finally read it.
The visual representations of Frank’s words moved me. I feel that Folman took great care in his representation.
Free Palestine.
