Sunday marks 80 years since Anne Frank's family was arrested by the Nazis on August 4, 1944.

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.

    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.

          Oh my several kilometers! How could anyone do that.

          All you’re saying is that you’re extremely lazy and very annoying.

          Stop.

            You’re the one who supposedly has links to relevant pieces in newspapers of the 50s and 60s.

            I say you don’t and you won’t unless you are willing to put in a fair amount of effort and time in finding them.

            Again, I don’t envy you.

              I went to school and we did projects on things and used libraries, things you seemingly are amazed by. Not surprising.

              It’s the reason I’m not blocking you dipshit. So please stop hammering me with with dozens of comments filled with meaningless drivel.

              Are you proud to be a troll, or like why are you being an abuser?

                Is replying to people who insult me abuse?

                ​

                we did projects on things and used libraries,

                Did these projects involve looking for 60 and 70 year-old newspaper articles and commentary?

                  You don’t think following someone from comment to comment only to say random words at them to annoy them somehow isn’t abuse.

                  Also note that I didn’t speak to you first, you sought me out in multiple to harass.

                  Yes, did you not have a history class?

                  Also again, stop harassing me dude.
