Thinking that the Anne Frank Diary is pornographic maybe confusing or even bizarre by people, particularly because it is one of the most important mementos that chronicles the real-life experience of a child during the holocaust. However, a mother from Michigan has filed a complaint about the classic, especially because Anne Frank’s The Diary of a Young Girl is required reading for many schools.

Gail Horalek has filed a formal complaint against her daughter’s school district over the Anne Frank diary. She believed that some passages outlined in the book are too graphic for seventh graders.

The unedited version of the diary, published in 1996, describe Frank’s discovery of her own private parts in detail. Horalek considers the depiction pornographic.

She believes that the Meads Mill Middle School where her daughter attends should have asked parents for permission before assigning the book as a required reading.

She told her hometown’s local newspaper, Northville Patch, “The problem is the school is giving the seventh graders inappropriate material and not explaining it to the parents.”

She said the school usually sends a permission slip home for books and films that has inappropriate content.

Horalek said that if the school’s students watch a film with profanity in it, she gets a permission slip that she then needs to sign.

The concerned mother also said that other parents were unaware of the passages. She only found out after her daughter confessed that the book made her uncomfortable.

Horalek now wants the book to be removed from the curriculum. “It doesn’t mean my child is sheltered, it doesn’t mean I live in doubt and it doesn’t mean I’m trying to ban books,” Horalek said. She just feels that such graphic details, particularly of Frank’s intimates, “aren’t necessary to grasp the devastation of the holocaust.”

This complaint is not the first time Anne Frank’s diary sparked controversy. In 2010, Culpeper County public school in Virginia stopped assigning the uncensored version of the tome due to extra passages that detail Frank’s own emerging sexual interests and “unflattering descriptions of her mother and other people’s living together.”
