An Italian mural depicting a teary-eyed Anne Frank holding an Israeli flag was vandalized to edit out the Holocaust victim and paint over her with the words “Gaza Free.”

The street art in Milan’s Piazza Castello was put up by contemporary artist AleXsandro Palombo to mark one month since Hamas launched its surprise attack on Israeli civilians.

It depicted the icon of the Holocaust standing next to a girl in a traditional keffiyeh burning the flag of the terrorist organization.

The work was part of Palombo’s “Innocence, Hate and Hope” project, which Israeli art historian Batya Brutin called an “important message of warning to the world.”

Another mural included in the project portrayed the well-known Warsaw Ghetto Boy with his hands raised, being taken hostage by Hamas terrorists.

That mural was also vandalized — with the boy removed from the image so that it only showed the terrorist soldier and a child soldier of Gaza.

Polombo has since spoken out about his work being defaced.

“The gesture of these antisemitic racists is to erase the memory in order to impose their terrorist thoughts, but these cowardly actions do not intimidate me, and I will continue to defend freedom of expression of our democracy, and with my art, I will respond to the terror they want to drag us into,” he said, according to the Jewish Chronicle.

“However, this vandalism only reinforces the meaning of the works and forces us to respond even stronger because it highlights all the anger and social danger of this hateful antisemitic machine that is underway.”

The artist argued that the acts of vandalism “are demonstrations of terrorist thinking that undermines the freedom of all of us.

“If politics and institutions do not respond forcefully to the antisemitic violence, then we will all lose: legitimizing these gestures means legitimizing terrorist thinking in our society too. And that’s what Hamas propaganda wants,” he continued.

Hamas’ “antisemitic fury” is “overwhelming Jews in every part of the world; this horror that re-emerges from the past must make all of us reflect because it undermines freedom, security and the future of us all,” Palomo added.

Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini replied that it was a “shame” the murals were defaced.

“Such actions have no place in our society,” he said in a statement, according to the Jerusalem Post.

“We must stand together against hatred.”

The vandalism of the murals came just weeks after a Star of David appeared on a central building in Rome.

Meanwhile, in Denmark, a Holocaust memorial boulder that pays homage to Danish citizens who risked their own lives to save Jews during the Nazi occupation was defaced with graffiti, and the steps of a nearby amphitheater were defaced with the Palestinian flag and the words “Free Gaza.”

“We are saddened and disgusted by the antisemitic vandalism that defaced the memorial in Copenhagen honoring the heroic efforts to save Danish Jews from the Nazis,” the European Jewish Congress posted on X earlier this month.

“This type of hate cannot be tolerated in today’s society,” it said.
