Anne Frank House in Amsterdam has slammed Russian President Vladimir Putin's regime as a "dictatorship without freedom," as Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday criticized Russia's "aggressive behavior" and lack of respect for international law.
In a statement, the Anne Frank House said that "Russia's current political situation is alarming," adding that "Putin's regime is a dictatorship without freedom. The suppression of dissenting voices, the persecution of political opponents, and the lack of respect for human rights are characteristic of a dictatorship."
The museum noted that the story of Anne Frank, a young Jewish girl who died in the Nazi concentration camp during World War II, "stands as a reminder of the dangers of totalitarianism and the importance of protecting freedom, democracy, and human rights."
The statement comes after Zelenskyy on Saturday called on Russia to respect international law and stop its "aggressive behavior" in Ukraine, where a conflict between Ukrainian government forces and Russian-backed separatists has been ongoing since 2014.
The Anne Frank House is a museum dedicated to the memory of Anne Frank, who wrote a diary during World War II while hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam. The museum aims to educate visitors about the dangers of discrimination, prejudice, and totalitarianism, and to promote peace, freedom, and human rights.
The museum's statement on Russia's political situation comes amid growing tensions between Russia and Ukraine, with both sides accusing each other of aggression and violations of international law.
