Statue of Anne Frank defaced with pro-Palestinian graffiti, for the second time in a month
Arutz Sheva ^ | 5/8/24

A statue of Anne Frank, famous for her diary account of hiding from the Nazis during World War II, has been covered with pro-Palestinian Arab graffiti, AFP reported on Sunday.

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 blood-red color.

Police have opened an investigation into the defacement, which likely occurred in the night from Saturday to Sunday, an Amsterdam police spokesman told AFP, adding that no suspect had yet been identified.

This marks the second time in a month that the statue has been defaced. In July, an antisemitic vandal painted the word “Gaza” on the statue of Frank.

The Amsterdam house where the Frank family took refuge for two years before being captured by the Nazis in 1944 -- after which they were sent to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp -- has become a museum dedicated to her story.

The vandalism comes as antisemitic incidents have multiplied across the world since Hamas' October 7 attacks on Israel and the war in Gaza which followed.

The Nazis never really went away. They just changed their looks.

Naive liberals should make no mistake about it. The Nazis of the early 1940s had one goal in mind: Exterminate their opponents. Today’s Nazis have that exact same goal.

And to be clear, I’m not talking about those silly neo-Nazis who run around in the woods playing soldier. I’m talking about Antifa, the Palestine “liberators”, etc. They are true Nazis, and they are deadly serious.

As I side note, I read “The Diary of Anne Frank” when I was a teenager. What an incredible person she was! It was a tough read, knowing what her fate would be.

We say “Never again.” Unfortunately, we are right on the edge of it happening again.

Yes, it will happen again, during the tribulation period, that will make the Nazis look like pikers.

The ignorant children must be forced to stand down with minimal force.

The organizing agitators must be exposed.

You should visit the Anne Frank house and attend the program.
Describes the era and how things escalated.
Go up into the attic.
Really really an experience.
Btw it was the Dutch police that rounded them up for the nazis.

How pathetic is it when PALEOstinians and other savages destroy the memory of a young victim in the Holocaust?

Anne Frank didn’t know at the time that the majority of MUSLIM Arabs in British Mandate Palestine, the Balkans, the near East and Middle East all sided with the Nazis?

Anne Frank’s memory will remain long after these savage scum are blown away in the future of history.

Guess joementia was correct about something. As our Bill of Right and the pesky amendments not being (’selectively of course) absolute. Guess “NEVER AGAIN!” ain’t absolute when it comes to Jewish genocide.

I took a canal ride past the house but didn't take the time for a tour. Truncated schedule and all.

From the article: "Police have opened an investigation .. "

Yeah, I'm sure they'll round up the usual suspects. (Spit.)

It surprises me that the new anti-Semitic Left has not demanded that it be taken down and replaced with a Victims of Israel statue.

Read Corrie ten Boom's book, "The Hiding Place" for a good description of what happened to the Dutch

Given Arab militant propensity for Comanche style burning children alive

Why not deface a Joan of Arc statue somewhere?

I’m pretty sure the one in New Orleans is closest to me

Seems more keeping the burning theme going
