The Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect is demanding an apology from actor and comedian. The move came after Allen compared being a conservative in Hollywood to living in Germany in the 1930s. He said in an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, "You get beat up if you don't believe what everybody believes. This is like '30s Germany. I don't know what happened." The Anne Frank Center says its mission is to call out prejudice and discrimination. And Executive Director Steven Goldstein, called on Allen to apologize to "the Jewish people and, to be sure, the other peoples also targeted by the Nazis." Goldstein said in a statement, "Tim, have you lost your mind? No one in Hollywood today is subjecting you or anyone else to what the Nazis imposed on Jews in the 1930s -- the world's most evil program of dehumanization, imprisonment and mass brutality, implemented by an entire national government, as the prelude for the genocide of nearly an entire people."
