Antisemitic text implying that Anne Frank's diary was a forgery was projected onto the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam this week, the museum announced in a statement.
"The Anne Frank House organisation has learned of this with shock and revulsion," the museum said.
The projection on the house where the Frank family hid during World War II read, "Ann Frank [sic], inventor of the ballpoint pen."
It alludes to a debunked far-right conspiracy theory that the diary was a forgery because part of it was written in ballpoint pen, which were not yet in use while Anne lived. The theory was meticulously and scientifically disproven by the Dutch government, The New York Times reported in 1989.
This false claim is used to question or deny the Holocaust.

No offense to Nancy Pelosi in this case, but there are three anti-semitic people in Congress on the Democrat side. AOC was crying like a baby saying that woman of color was being censored when actually what was being done was taking representative Omar removed from the Foreign Affairs committee for her anti-semitic statements because Republicans 'did something' after her not caring about the September 11th attack even though innocent Muslims died in that attack as well.
Omar can do her hate speech or say that it's an Israel conspiracy but it's her own big mouth that got her in trouble. She can still make stupid statements as well as intellectual ones in congress. She just won't be on that committee for the foreseeable future.

Far right conspiracy??? Horse nuggets...the Muslim religion denies that the Holocaust even happened and we have members in our own congress that are that way on the left. There is enough Anti Semitism going around from all sides...no side of the aisle or world for that matter has a monopoly on this and for NPR to label one side and say so is just wrong.
