Angry protesters heckled the speech of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump during a campaign rally at the University of Iowa in Iowa City on Wednesday, with at least two tomatoes being thrown at Trump. At least three protesters expressed their opposition to Trump and his policies, all of whom were removed from the event by security officials.
In an essay to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Anne Frank's stepsister accused Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump of "acting like another Hitler."
Eva Schloss, now 86, was a friend of Frank's in Amsterdam after their families fled Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Her mother, Fritzi, would marry Otto Frank, Anne's father, after World War II.
"If Donald Trump become(s) the next president of the U.S. it would be a complete disaster," she told Newsweek on Wednesday. "I think he is acting like another Hitler by inciting racism."
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Schloss survived Auschwitz while Frank and her mother died at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, and Anne Frank's diary became a famous account of life as a Jewish family under Hitler's Nazi Germany.
