After mocking Anne Frank: Minute of silence also at amateur games

The case caused outrage and incomprehension not only in Italy, but worldwide: On Sunday, during the home game against Cagliari, some fans of Lazio Rome covered the stands of the Roman Olympic Stadium with photos of Anne Frank, who was shown in a photomontage wearing a Roma jersey . In addition, the Lazio Tifosi, who had repeatedly attracted negative attention with their racist actions in the past, left behind numerous anti-Jewish slogans. The whole thing happened in the south curve of the stadium, which is normally reserved for Roma fans, but was used by Lazio fans on Sunday due to the north curve being blocked.

The Italian Football Federation has reacted to this scandalous action and, in agreement with the Ministry of Sports and the Association of the Jewish Community in Italy, has arranged for a minute's silence to be held at both the professional and amateur and youth championships "to mark the recent episodes of condemn anti-Semitism. This instruction applies to all programmed games from today (Wednesday, editor) until next weekend,” it says on the homepage of the autonomous regional committee of Bolzano. Before each game begins, the following text from Anne Frank's diary must also be read out:

“I see how the world is slowly turning more and more into a desert, I hear the rolling thunder getting louder and louder, which will kill us too, I feel the suffering of millions of people. And yet, when I look at the sky, I think that everything will change for the better again, that this harshness will also end, that calm and peace will return to the world order.
