Tim Allen’s comparison of Hollywood to Nazi Germany has offended the Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect.

“Tim Allen has made a deeply offensive characterization that trivializes the horrors imposed on Jews in Nazi Germany,” read a statement the organization posted to Facebook Sunday night. “We call on Tim to apologize.”

Late week, Allen, 63, talked about politics in Hollywood, saying, “You gotta be real careful around here. You get beat up if you don’t believe what everybody else believes. This is like ’30 Germany.”

The center’s executive director, Steven Goldenstein, had stern words for the “Last Man Standing” star.

“Tim, have you lost your mind?” Goldenstein asked. “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.”

“Sorry, Tim, that’s just not the same as getting turned down for a movie role,” Goldstein added. “It’s time for you to leave your bubble to apologize to the Jewish people and, to be sure, the other peoples also targeted by the Nazis.”

A request for comment from Allen’s rep wasn’t immediately returned.
