Dr. Kyra Schafte, the director of academic compliance and equity for the Indian River County school district, said the original"Diary of Anne Frank" is still in school libraries. "There are multiple versions of Anne Frank’s diary of varying age appropriateness available to students," the organization tweeted."Only this ONE version was removed. It is not an entirely accurate portrayal of the tragedy of the Holocaust and murders against the Jewish population because of hate."
"Great liberties have been taken with her story and for such a serious issue, the Holocaust and genocide, having this diary being really the most accurate and well known portrayal of intimate details of life during the Holocaust for Jewish people and for specifically Anne, a 13-year-old Jewish girl, it's important that children have access to and are reading the real version, not an adaptation of the version of the story that isn't written by her," she said.
"The book was removed due to the content being inconsistent with policy/statue and was perceived to be a minimization of the events of the Holocaust," Moore said.
