Anne Frank statue in Amsterdam park vandalized again with pro-Palestinian graffiti

Because long-dead children are indeed the proper target of this generation’s Brownshirts.
[IsraelTimes] A statue of Anne Frank, a Holocaust victim famous for her diary account of hiding from the Nazis during World War II, has been covered with pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel graffiti, AFP learned on Sunday.

According to images published on X, the base of the statue was spray-painted with the slogan "Free Gazoo

Police have opened an investigation into the most recent defacement, which likely occurred overnight between Saturday and Sunday, an Amsterdam police front man told AFP, adding that no suspect had yet been identified.

August 4 marks exactly 80 years to the day that the Franks were arrested and deported after their hiding spot was discovered. The question of who turned the Frank family in to the Nazis has never been definitively settled.

This weekend’s incident marks the second time in less than a month that the statue has been targeted, according to television station AT5 and confirmed to AFP by the police source.

AT5 said that the statue in a southern Amsterdam park had been vandalized on July 9, after which the municipality called for increased protection of the site with video surveillance cameras and night-time lighting.
