The US Holocaust Museum criticised Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for comparing children in the state to Anne Frank, as tensions rise over immigration enforcement and school disruptions.

During a press conference on January 25, Governor Walz made a metaphor that drew swift condemnation. He referenced the story of Anne Frank, stating that some children in Minnesota are hiding in their homes out of fear, similar to how Anne Frank and others hid during the Holocaust.
