Nazi Flags and Hate Speech Mar Anne Frank Play in Michigan
Protesters waving Nazi flags disrupted a community theater production of 'The Diary of Anne Frank' in Howell, Michigan, leaving performers shaken. The protest, involving masked men, occurred outside the American Legion Post 141, where the play was being staged. Despite the disturbance, the cast completed the performance. The incident drew condemnation from the Michigan Anti-Defamation League and highlighted the ongoing presence of far-right extremism in the area. The theater emphasized the parallels between the play's Holocaust themes and the protest's hateful display.
