Protesters Disrupt Anne Frank Play in Michigan

Masked demonstrators waving Nazi flags protested outside a performance of 'The Diary of Anne Frank' at the American Legion Post 141 in Howell, Michigan. The protest included antisemitic and racist slurs, shocking both the audience and community members. Bobby Brite, a veteran and past commander at the legion, captured the event on video and expressed his dismay at the extremist actions. The Fowlerville Community Theatre, which hosted the play, commented on the unintended realism the protest added to their portrayal of Holocaust experiences. Despite the protest, the play continued without physical confrontation, though attendees were escorted to their cars for safety. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about rising antisemitism in the U.S.
