I disagree with you. She is not just a “specific victim” who’s remembrances should be restricted to specific locations. This little innocent girl represents All Innocence. The message of her story, and her short life is, If this sort of thing could happen to this little girl who was a threat to nobody, it could happen to us all. And not just in 1944, and not just in Europe, and not just Jews.
That is why the book about her was required reading in many American schools. Not to learn about one girl, but to learn about the struggle we all have, the old and the young to remain free.
