We worked for months with USAID to build an $85,000,000 project to end TB in two regions of the Philippines.

Frank's words resonate with people all over the world regardless of origin, but it doesn't change the fact that she was a Jew, & she wanted people to understand what had happened to her and her family because they were Jews. Erasing her Jewishness to make her mean what you want, you miss the point.
