A picture of Anne Frank was shown in an official club tribute honouring football fans who had died during the pandemic.
It began as a touching way to honour deceased Everton fans, but social media users quickly noticed an image of Holocaust victim Anne Frank had been inserted into the four-minute-long video.
The picture appears at the one minute 50-second mark.
We've lost far, far too many Evertonians over the course of the pandemic.
We wish they could all be here with us today.
RIP Blues. 💙 pic.twitter.com/TsqUb3zC2d
Alongside the photo of Anne Frank, there were a number of prank names on the list, including “Faye Knewse”.
The video from the club is accompanied by the words: “We’ve lost far, far too many Evertonians over the course of the pandemic.
“We wish they could all be here with us today. RIP Blues.”
The club had first made a call for submissions at the beginning of August, saying it would pay tribute to those who had died ahead of the first match of the season against Southampton.
Fans were encouraged to add a name to the list, alongside an optional photo of a loved one.
Anne Frank quickly began trending on Twitter however, the club has not issued a response.
One social media user wrote: “It’s one thing to be tricked into including a photo of Anne Frank it’s quite another to leave it up. It’s completely distracting from your intention.”
