Plan to name German train after Anne Frank condemned
The Hague
PLANS by Germany's national rail provider to name a train after Jewish diarist Anne Frank came under fire on Monday, with a foundation saying that it "caused new pain" to those who experienced deportations.
"The (train's) naming is controversial," the Anne Frank Foundation said of Deutsche Bahn's plans. "A combination of Anne Frank and a train conjures up the image of persecution of Jews and deportations during World War II," the Amsterdam-based foundation said in a statement.
