Australian comedian laughs at tweet mocking Anne Frank

Hull uploaded a video of himself laughing at a series of his "favorite tweets," one of which was from a currently inactive satirical Twitter page called Anne Frankly and it reads: who the f*ck read my diary #p***ed.

The video can be found below:

A number of similar pages have also been being tweeted in the name of the Holocaust victim. One goes so far as to mark her location as "in hiding." 

In recent years, social media has been used as a tool to reach and educate young viewers about the Holocaust. Such was the 15 YouTube episodes of Anne Frank Video Diary, which was created by the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam. 

The past year has also shown a rise in antisemitism on social media platforms, with Twitter reportedly being the most antisemitic one according to a report by the Fighting Online Antisemitism.

In response to the video, Anti-Defamation Commission chairman Dr. Dvir Abramovich issued the following statement:

“This troubling incident once again proves that the abject trivialization and debasement of the Holocaust continues to permeate our culture and diminish the true impact of this vast tragedy. We have a lot of work ahead of us in educating people about the unparalleled horrors of the Shoah and how wrong it is to make light of the suffering and extermination of millions.

"Anne Frank’s memory deserves greater respect than being abused," said, "and we call on Christian Hull to apologize immediately for his obscene post and for the hurt he has inflicted, and to reflect on his conduct.”

Hull has yet to respond.
