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.

      It bolstered the concept of the “entitled ni**er” at the time, read a newspaper taking about it before it happened.

          I’ll look them up when I get home but your trying to get me to prove racist comments in 1964 and somehow think that’s a high bar to jump.

          Either history escapes you or you are wildly ignorant.

            Good luck, and try to make them major dailies. Rantings by, say, The KKK Times won’t count.

            both.

              You honestly think it’s going to be hard to find racism in a newspaper from 1964, you know sitting marches about racist shit in newspapers for instance.

              Bold admission boss, seriously. Your creator has some work to do.

                You have your work cut out.

                I don’t envy you.

                Many newspapers have paywalls and/or ads, and there’s a lot of crap on Google.

                  You act like libraries don’t exist.

                  And I mean that as you’re seemingly unaware you can look at old newspapers for free at your local library and also that you seem dumb enough to never have been at a library and honestly don’t know.

                    I’m in Toronto, the 4th most populated city in North America, but even here I have to travel several km to get to libraries where I might be able to access microfiche slides and IIUC libraries here aren’t open 24/7.

                    Again, your task, should you indeed choose it, probably won’t be an easy one.
