Efraim Zuroff, the director
of Jerusalem's Simon Wiesenthal Centre, on Tuesday blasted as
"disturbing, miserable, repugnant" stickers of Anne Frank in a
AS Roma shirt that were put in the Curva Sud of the Stadio
Olimpico during Lazio's 3-0 win over Cagliari Sunday.
"There are no words to condemn such a shameful gesture,"
Zuroff said.
"It is trivialization of the Shoah, transforming an inhuman
tragedy into a simple squabble between fans".
Zuroff said he understood the "symbolic impact" of Democratic
Party (PD) leader Matteo Renzi's proposal for players to wear
the Star of David on their shirts.
But he added that "it does not add awareness - it would be
better to have the players visit Auschwitz".
