German soccer fans create photo of Anne Frank in rival team’s jersey
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleStickers showing a doctored photo of Anne Frank wearing a German soccer team’s jersey appeared in Dusseldorf, Germany, a week after a similar incident occurred in Rome.
The stickers show the teenage Holocaust diarist in a Schalke team jersey.
It is believed that the stickers were created by the Borussia Dortmund soccer team, which reportedly has a number of neo-Nazis as part of their hardcore fan base.
Photos of the stickers were first posted on the German blog Ruhr Barone.de (German).
German police are investigating the incident, according to reports. Anti-Semitism is a crime in German, as is Holocaust denial.
