A 🧵 on Anne Frank and the current drama over the graphic novelization of her diary:

First, you have to remember that Anne Frank was a highly mercurial, incredibly intelligent, and hormonal AF teenager, trapped in an attic and at risk of arrest and death at all times. The “I believe people are really good at heart” version of Anne Frank? She wrote that when her family and the Van Pels family *first* moved into the Secret Annex in the Jordaan District in Holland. The longer the family remained in the Secret Annex, the darker her writing became.
