The statue commemorating Anne Frank, one of the most famous victims of the Holocaust, was defaced with pro-Palestinian graffiti for the second time on Sunday.

The statue is located in Merwedeplein, near the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam.

According to images published on X, the base of the statue was spray-painted with the slogan “Free Gaza” while the girl’s hands were painted with the same red color, AFP reported.

    Exactly.

    The news is portraying it like wow how could someone defile such a respectful thing

    It is to make the message clear I dunno Anne Frank but I doubt she’d be cool with bombing Palestinians

      i used to think any sane person would be; but i’m learning from this election cycle that they’re minimize it as being a “single issue voter.”
