HOWELL, Mich. (WLNS) — A group of people were seen waving Nazi flags in two Mid-Michigan cities, including outside of a performance of a play about the Holocaust, on Saturday night.
Many people carrying flags with swastikas on them were first seen in front of the American Legion Post in Howell while the Fowlerville Community Theater performed “The Diary of Anne Frank” inside.
A member of the Howell American Legion Post said the group had recently heard about rising antisemitism and thought people could learn from the play. The theater group had been performing it for two weeks before Saturday’s incident.
Becky Frank, a cast member who played Anne Frank’s mother, was troubled by the display.
“It was upsetting,” she said. “Just knowing the character I was playing, knowing a lot of the research that I did on my character.”

Doesn't sound like any Scripture I've ever read.
