Delete the tweet: The Everton soccer team sent out a tweet on Saturday honoring its fans who have died of COVID-19, but whoever compiled the image used in the message mistakenly included a photo of Anne Frank.

"We've lost far, far too many Evertonians over the course of the pandemic. We wish they could all be here with us today. RIP Blues," the original tweet read.
Today was all about you. Those reunited with us at Goodison, but sadly also those that couldn't be there who we have lost over the course of the pandemic.
RIP Blues. 💙 pic.twitter.com/aWNh5gRlAn

The message included a black and white video that featured pictures of some of the club's fans, along with the names of all the fans the team was aware had died of COVID – and Frank, who was captured by the Nazis and died in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
Once the mistake was pointed out, the Everton FC organization deleted the original tweet and put up another one that did not include Frank's image.
The team compiled the video using pictures of COVID victims submitted by other fans. It is believed that the image of Anne Frank was sent in as a prank.
