Anne Frank has been ‘Simpsonised’ in an unsettling new project from artist aleXsandro Palombo.

Palombo has also depicted The Simpsons as Jews in Auschwitz as his way of marking the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camp.

He says that the project, titled Never Again, is ‘an invitation to reflection, an artwork to raise awareness, an indictment against intolerance, a punch to inhumanity’.


One image shows Frank drawn in the iconic Simpsons style holding up a sign that reads ‘Never Again’, while another is of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie inside a concentration camp looking emaciated.

While aleXsandro might mean well with his drawings, it is a bit disconcerting to see the popular cartoon characters used in this way.

AleXsandro said: ‘The Holocaust is something unique and unrepeatable for its atrocities. Auschwitz-Birkenau is the symbol of this inhumane delirium, the industry of death.

‘It is only through memory that we are able to fight racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia and all forms of intolerance that threaten the society, the freedom and the respect for all diversity.’
