Several American sales companies online withdrew a Halloween costume that represents Ana Frank's clothes, the German young woman of Jewish origin who narrated in her personal diary how she hid from the Nazis and who died in a concentration camp.

"His daughter can become a heroin of World War II" for $ 25, assured an advertising of clothing.

The costume was composed of a bluffed blue dress ahead and a green beret, following the fashion of the 1930s and 1940s, explained the companies that marketed it.

The powerful American Jewish association Antidifamción (ADL) regretted that, "in a context of worldwide anti -Semitism climbing, this disguise is excessively insensitive with the survivors of the Holocaust and their families".

"From Ana Frank's life and death, we have learned to honor her and avoid atrocities in the future.We should not exploit it, "added the Adl division in the city of San Luis.

The Halloween Costumes website withdrew the clothing and asked for forgiveness "for this error".

It is not the first time that a Halloween costume for children raises controversy.

The Wal-Mart store chain and the Amazon electronic commerce giant were criticized two years ago for selling an "Arab sheikh" and the Israeli soldiers uniform online.(YO)
