There is nothing new under the sun |

On what would have been Anne Frank's 80th birthday, the Holocaust Memorial Museum will present the new play Anne & Emmett, "an imaginary conversation between Anne Frank and Emmett Till, teenage victims of anti-Semitism and racism, respectively."
The play would have premiered Wednesday, if not for the murder of a black Holocaust Museum security guard by an anti-Semitic, racist killer.
Actually they should have premiered it. It would make a better message. Perhaps people today don't understand the symbolic importance of bravado as well as they used to.

I had much the same thought, Jason. But I suppose it's possible they had ongoing security concerns that evening.

I know. And that's kind of the point.
