The Anne Frank Center USA believes in the power of young people to change the world. Today, all of us at the Anne Frank Center USA are saddened and outraged by the murder of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, two young people who were shot at close range while standing outside of the Capitol Jewish Museum in Washington DC yesterday.

Anne Frank wrote in April 1944 of the dehumanization experienced by Jews during the Holocaust:

“Surely the time will come when we are people again, and not just Jews.”

It doesn't make any sense to blame two young Jews for the current war in Gaza and to believe their killing is justified. But that is the power of propaganda, extremist ideology, and hate speech. Anne Frank and her family were victims of the same hateful rhetoric, hateful words that lead to violence. And in 2025, these messages circle the globe in the blink of an eye.

Yet through the timeless voice of Anne Frank, we are reminded that even in the darkest of times, courage, empathy, and hope can illuminate the path forward. Let us work together to walk that path.
