Justin Bieber made headlines once again with an ‘insensitive’ entry in a guestbook at the Anne Frank House Museum in Amsterdam. Bieber left a note that read: “Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a Belieber”.
According to TIME NewsFeed, the message triggered a flood of comments on the museum’s Facebook page, with many criticising the 19-year-old pop sensation for writing something they perceived to be insensitive.
Maatje Mostart, the museum spokeswoman said the museum was happy to have received Bieber and didn’t see anything offensive in his remarks. Calls and emails to Bieber’s publicist and agent in Los Angeles were not returned immediately.
Anne Frank hid with her family in a small apartment above a warehouse during the Nazi occupation of World War II. Her family was caught and deported, and Anne died of typhus in 1945. She was only 13 years old when she began keeping her diary in 1942. After she died, her diary was recovered and published after the war, and has become the most widely read document to emerge from the Holocaust.
