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.

    One angry kid with a spray bottle. That’s all it takes for this to happen. Let’s not be crazy about the implications perhaps?

      I like how people are assuming if Anne Frank were alive she would be doing anything other than shouting to the world about ending the genocide in Gaza because genocides are the most terrible crime humanity can enact upon itself.

      A statue is just some rock you paid somebody to carve.

      Nonsense, let’s drum it up into a big stupid story with actual geopolitical ramifications.

        In Canada we don’t blame Palestinians for all the hate crimes against Jews

        We blame Canadians for trying to bring those issues over here
