AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A Dutch court on Thursday sentenced a man to two months in jail for projecting a message by laser onto the Anne Frank House Museum in Amsterdam that suggested Frank's diary was a forgery or that she had not written it.

The court convicted Robert Wilson, a 42-year-old Canadian who lives in Poland, of projecting the message which it called "a form of Holocaust-denial that is extremely grieving to victims and their relatives".
