ANNE FRANK GRAPHIC NOVEL: Is That Even Politically Correct?

What could make hiding from the Nazis while coming into womanhood more exciting? How about if we made it a comic book?! Well that's exactly was Amsterdam has done with the beloved Diary of Anne Frank. Representatives of the book are saying that they've decided to turn the most popular piece of literature coming out of the Holocaust into a graphic novel to get more kids to read it. Seriously? When I was a little Catholic schoolgirl, growing up in the Village The Diary of Anne Frank was right up there with Are You There God, It's Me Margaret? Seeing the SS in technicolor with little Nazi speech bubbles wouldn't have changed a damn thing for me.
