Justin Bieber Anne Frank Comment Criticized By Some

Anne-FrankThe Anne Frank House Facebook page posted this: “Yesterday night Justin Bieber visited the Anne Frank House, together with his friends and guards. Fans were waiting outside to see a glimpse of him. He stayed more than an hour in the museum. In our guestbook he wrote: “Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a Belieber.”

The Justin Bieber’s Anne Frank comment, specially the last line that says “Hopefully she would have been a Belieber” has triggered a flood of angry comments on the museum’s Facebook page, criticizing the teen singer for being insensitive.

Anne Frank was 13-years old when she began keeping her diary in 1942. She hid with her family in a small apartment in Amsterdam above a warehouse during the Nazi occupation of World War II. Her family was caught and deported, and Anne died of typhus in Bergen-Belsen in 1945.

The diary she kept in hiding was recovered and published after the war, and has become the most widely read document to emerge from the Holocaust.

Maatje Mostart, the museum spokesperson, confirmed that Bieber visited Friday evening. She said that the museum was happy to have received Bieber and didn’t see anything offensive in his remarks.

So what do you think of Justin Bieber’s Anne Frank comment?
