Well, a kid dying while hiding from Nazis isn't the best name for a kindergarten. Would you name a flight school after Victor Saracini?
Her name should be memorialised other ways, definetly not like this.
Empathy must be taught young. Any child psychologist will tell you this.
Teaching children from a young age that the world they'll have to live in is sunshine and lollypops, only to inevitably pull the band-aid later and lament they need to suddenly "grow up" is a disservice to them. I'll never understand the desire to hide the grotesque, selfish world we've made from those that will eventually have to navigate it for the first 10-15 years of their lives.
I don't think it's inappropriate to tell kindergarteners about what bad people did to children out of hate before they were stopped, explaining that's why everyone including them need to take care never to become comfortable with harming others to help themselves.
