Maybe let's not romanticize the life of history's most famous Holocaust victim by setting her photos to t.A.t.U songs.

The 17-year-old creator of that video, Cesar, has an account where he posts similarly highly aesthetic edits of various films on TikTok. He says he was inspired to make one about Anne Frank after learning her story while studying World War II in school, and made the video to bring awareness of the horrors of the Holocaust.

To many, the existence of fan edits of Anne Frank — with the implication that the lives of tragically deceased historical figures should be subject to the same romanticization process as, say, fictional wizards or Netflix hunks — is jarring, even offensive.
