OK, Anne Frank COULD Have Been a Belieber

Could Anne Frank really have been a Belieber?

The thing is ... yeah, maybe.

Abraham Foxman, the national director of Anti-Defamation League, reacting to the Bieber brouhaha, said as much. “If you read Frank’s diary, she was into celebrities, she was into pop culture,” Foxman told the Chicago Sun-Times. “So for [bieber] to say he would have hoped that she would have been a fan, it’s a nice thing.”

The truth is, Frank was precisely the age of many of the girls that make up that Belieber fan army. She was 13 when she began writing her diary. Like any girl of that age—in the 1940s or today—she would clip photos of celebrities and hang them on her walls.

In a diary entry from July 1942, Frank wrote, “Our little room looked very bare at first with nothing on the walls; but thanks to Daddy who had brought my film-star collection and picture postcards…with the aid of a paste pot and brush, I have transformed the walls into one gigantic picture. This makes it look much more cheerful.”

A photo of one such collage made the rounds Sunday as Bieber furor ignited. There’s Margaret and Elizabeth, the young princesses of York, and Norma Shearer, one of Frank’s favorite actresses. In fact, Bieber may have seen these photos while walking through the museum before signing that guest book.

Send a college-aged boy to Amsterdam for one weekend only during spring break season. It’s likely that his one stop on his free night would be, perhaps, an establishment from the Guide to Weed in Amsterdam, or maybe a gawking stroll down the Red Light District. Visiting a museum and taking the time to document how much he appreciated the experience actually speaks of well of Bieber.

“He chose to take a visit to a historically important museum for Jewish history,” says Rabbi Andy Bachman of Beth Elohim in Park Slope, Brooklyn. “Give him credit for expanding his mind. Sure, he made a slip keeping with his character. This is a pop star concerned with his appearance, his hair, and his fan base. Of course he’s going to understand Anne Frank through the lens of himself.”

It's quite rare for a teenager to hit a museum these days. Good On ya, Beiber! (pbuh)
