Outrage gets ‘Anne Frank’ outfit yanked

AN ANNE FRANK Halloween costume was removed from a website after social media users bashed the company for being insensitive.

HalloweenCostumes.com, run by the Minnesota-based company Fun.com, was selling a “WW2 Anne Frank Girls Costume” (below) consisting of a blue dress, green beret and a messenger bag for $24.99.

The costume named for the young Holocaust victim was noticed in mid-September by Julie Bestry, who found it “sickening.” By the mid-October Halloween costume rush, users on Twitter began sounding off.

“We should not trivialize her memory as a costume,” tweeted Carlos Galindo-Elvira of the Anti-Defamation League.

A publicist for HalloweenCostumes.com apologized.

The same outfit marketed elsewhere as “Child’s World War II Girl Costume” and “Child’s WWII Evacuee Costumes” with no mention of Frank’s name. is
