A costume of Anne Frank has been removed from websites, including one for Halloween fancy dress, after Holocaust survivors families reacted with horror.

The outfit, which was marketed as “Anne Frank costume for girls” on sites including Halloweencostumes.eu, included a blue overcoat, green beret, brown satchel and brown paper name tag.

The same costume - made by British costume company Smiffy's - was also available on Amazon under 'World War II Evacuee Girl Costume", for £10.

The company which owns Halloweencostumes.eu, Fun.com, said it has withdrawn the costume from its websites and apologised for any offence caused.

But horrified Twitter users condemned the outfit, describing it as "inappropriate" and "offensive".
