Because the other truth is that, with a view that exceeds anything approximating one's own anal cavity, you damn well know that parts of the Jewish historical memory like "Anne Frank" and "Holocaust" and "Nazi extermination" are sensitive subjects bound to distress and disturb a great many of a particular different people and you shouldn't do it.
I wouldn't, but it's a free country, so they can do whatever they like, taking whatever consequent hits from public opinion occur. As I pointed out in my initial post, it's certainly in bad taste...but beyond that?
And as to Anne Frank, herself, who was countless times the human being I could ever hope to be, if we are talking about the after life, I think she deserves to rest in peace.
I wish such a thing as an afterlife existed. I've seen no evidence that it does.
