Police have arrested a man in Poland on suspicion of projecting a Holocaust denial message on Amsterdam’s Anne Frank House.

The 41-year-old suspect was detained after an intensive investigation following the incident in early February, when text suggesting the Jewish teenager did not write her diary during World War II was projected on the side of the museum that honours her memory.

In a statement, Dutch police said the suspect was identified "soon" after the projection took place.

They added: "It subsequently transpired that the suspect left for Poland immediately after the projection.”
