A Dutch court on Thursday sentenced a man to two months in jail for projecting a message by laser onto the Anne Frank House Museum in Amsterdam that suggested Frank's diary was a forgery or that she had not written it.
The court convicted Robert Wilson, a 42-year-old Canadian who lives in Poland, of projecting the message which it called "a form of Holocaust-denial that is extremely grieving to victims and their relatives."
The words projected onto the building on the evening of Feb. 6 referred to Frank as "the inventor of the ballpoint pen," a reference to debunked conspiracy theories about her diary.
"Considering the important symbolical meaning of Anne Frank's diary for the remembrance of the Holocaust, this statement can be seen as a form of Holocaust-denial," the district court of Amsterdam said.
