You can now Twitter Anne Frank.
Not only is it true, it’s a campaign endorsed by the Anne Frank Center USA and the United Nations.
“This exercise is meant to help young people make a meaningful connection to the Holocaust through the words of a courageous young girl,” said Kimberly Mann of the U.N. outreach program.
Students are being encouraged to send a tweet — 140 characters or less — to the girl who is an iconic image of the Holocaust.
Students are asked, “What messages of support would you have sent Anne?” and “What would you have told Anne that you have learned from her life and experience?”
The campaign at twitter.com/UNandHolocaust will run through Sunday, April 11, which is Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. The tweets will be posted online and exhibited at the Anne Frank Center USA in New York.
