A picture of Anne Frank (right, top) in the Everton FC fan video
The English first division club Everton FC had called on its supporters to send in names and photos of victims of the corona pandemic and compiled the video from them.
They made a mishap: In the video, the Holocaust victim Anne Frank could be seen at one point.
The association published the video collage from fan submissions on the weekend on the online networks.
He was reluctant to respond to any indications of the error, and the video stayed online for almost seven hours.
Fans drew the club's attention
One of the submissions was probably the then published picture of the Jewish girl who was killed in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945 and who later gained worldwide fame through the publication of her diary.
Fans quickly made the club aware of the error in the online networks, but it did not react for a long time.
The video was later taken offline and replaced by a revised version.
Everton FC declined to make an official statement.
According to the British news agency PA, representatives of the association were "horrified" by the incident.
