"Karen Pollock CBE, Chief Executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust told the JC in a statement: "Anne Frank was a young Jewish girl forced into hiding for two years before being deported to Auschwitz and then Bergen-Belsen where she was murdered.

"To use the name of a Holocaust victim as a marketing ploy will never be appropriate.”"

Vs

"We never meant to upset anyone, I’m not a controversial person."

She also attempted to back up the naming of the dish, saying: "Anne Frank was from Germany, from Frankfurt, and she didn’t eat meat."

I genuinely don't think they intended to offend, but jeez.....

Distortion becomes somehow pure in its wildness.

This is really stupid, obviously offensive but surely they could have just issued a heartfelt apology then immediately changed the name of the dish and this would be largely a non story

You’d think so. Although they’d probably have introduced their Gottlob Burger

It strikes me that ignorance and a lack of judgment (rather than malice) is behind what happened.

All the more reason that educating people about the Holocaust must never cease.

Reading the article, it does look like complete ignorance rather than malice.

Once upon a time somebody may have had a quiet word, and she could have realised it was innapropriate and changed it. The answer to ignorance is Education.

Because of Social Media, the offence is multiplied and magnified with every retweet or post on an unrelated message board.

Jon Ronson's "So You've Been Publicly Shamed" is very good on this. And things have only got more heated and amplified since he wrote it 7 years ago.

The worst thing about this story is a media outlet embedding tweets in their story and then repeating the text of those tweets in the story. See it more and more and it drives me crazy.
