A statue of Anne Frank, famous for her diary from her hideout from the Nazis, has had pro-Palestinian graffiti painted on it. In addition to “Free Gaza”, the statue’s hands have been painted blood red.
According to the police, the statue, which stands in Amsterdam, was vandalized on the night of Sunday. No one has been arrested for the vandalism.
It is the second time in a month that the Anne Frank statue has had pro-Palestinian messages scrawled on it. After the first incident on July 9, demands were raised for video surveillance cameras and night lighting.
The bronze sculpture was created by the artist Jet Schepp and depicts Anne Frank on her way to her hiding place.
Anne Frank died in a concentration camp in 1945, aged 15.
