Stickers depicting Anne Frank wearing the outfit of German football club Schalke were distributed in the towns of Dusseldorf and Dortmund in Germany.
Local police opened an investigation and suspect that rival football club Borussia Dortmund's supporters decided to irritate their rival Schalke by using the image of the murdered Jewish girl.
The club itself condemned the acts and said that "we totally distance ourselves from this extremism and are acting with fans to fight anti-Semitism and racism.
The incident occurred just a week after an Italian football club printed similar images last week. A German train company also wanted to name a train after Anne Frank prompting a response from the Anne Frank museum that the idea is “painful for the people who experienced these deportations, and causes fresh pain to those who still bear the consequences of those times within them.”
