ANNE FRANK MEMORIAL VANDALIZED IN IDAHO

THERE'S AN ANNE FRANK MEMORIAL IN IDAHO?

Anne Frank memorial in Idaho hit by vandals (YNET)
Vandals toppled and damaged a bronze statue of Holocaust victim Anne Frank in Idaho's capital, two months after the memorial was plastered with neo-Nazi stickers.

Damage to the 500-pound (226-kilogram) statue of the girl, whose diary of hiding from the Nazis during World War II made her a human rights heroine, included a broken finger and scrapes on the head. In March, the five-year-old Idaho Anne Frank Human Rights Memorial was covered with swastika-emblazoned stickers promoting the neo-Nazi group Combat 18, and identical stickers were attached to the Islamic Center of Boise. Combat 18 is a loosely organized group that is believed to have originated in Britain. No one was arrested.
