Dutch police said Friday they are investigating a stunt that saw a text alluding to an antisemitic conspiracy theory projected onto the Anne Frank House museum in Amsterdam, causing outrage across the country.

The words "Ann Frank invented the ballpoint pen," referring to a debunked claim that the Jewish teenager's famed diary is a forgery, were displayed for several minutes this week on the side of the building where her family hid during the Holocaust.

Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte condemned the "reprehensible" incident, and tweeted: "We can never and should never accept this." Justice Minister Dilan Yesilgz-Zegerius cited the incident to urge parliament to approve a pending bill explicitly banning Holocaust denial. The text was projected from a vehicle across the canal and was noticed by security guards, who contacted police. A recording of the stunt was posted on an antisemitic Telegram channel.

According to the Netherlands' top official for fighting antisemitism, Eddo Verdoner, several pages written with a ballpoint pen were found amongst Frank's papers in the 1980s. That type of pen was not introduced in the Netherlands until after WWII, and Holocaust deniers have claimed this proves her diary, published by her father after the war, is a fake. However, researchers have concluded that the pages were accidentally left in the diary in the 1960s.

No way. There is no Nazis in Europe. Not even in Nazi Ukraine, not even nazi tattoos are any proof to CTV that there are nazis rising again in Europe. And again Russia will stop it with the rest of the colored world

Vile hatred against a little girl who died for no reason, other than being Jewish. Disgusting people.

Amsterdam is banning marijuana use on streets of red light districtIn a bid to improve the quality of life for residents, Amsterdam will ban the use of marijuana on the street and take new steps to discourage alcohol in its red light district, the traditional center of the city's legal sex work trade. The most permissible jurisdiction on earth for drugs is tightening up - I wonder why? At the same time Vancouver becomes more permissive - same problem, different conclusion. Breaking news, drug use causes problems, except in BC, keep using. Best of luck with that
