The costume, reportedly advertised by a retailer as an Anne Frank girls' costume, features a green barrette, a blue dress and a brown felt satchel with some online outlets also marketing the same outfit as a World War II Evacuee girl.
“Now, your child can play the role of a World War II hero with this girls World War II costume,” the costume was described on one retailer's website, according to the BBC.
“It comes with a blue button up dress, reminiscent of the kind of clothing that might be worn by a young girl during WWII.”
The Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect told SBS News the costume 'trivialises her suffering' during the Holocaust.
"There are more appropriate ways to commemorate the legacy of Anne Frank than through a Halloween costume, which is offensive and trivialises her suffering and the suffering of millions during the Holocaust," a statement said.
"We are pleased that the costume has been pulled."
The costume was reportedly removed from some retailers' websites, following criticism on social media.
"Pls explain how this is a) fun & b) Halloween costume? Are the @AnneFrankTrust aware of this absurdity," one Twitter user wrote.
"There are better ways 2 commemorate Anne Frank. This is not one. We should not trivialize her memory as a costume," another wrote.
Another wrote: "Can y’all believe there are actually people out here romanticizing Anne Frank and wearing her persona as a costume I can’t even imagine".
The costume has been removed off multiple retailers websites, but it is still selling on others as WWII Evacuee costume for girls.
Halloweencostumes.com reportedly apologised for the outfit, claiming they also sell costumes for school projects and other uses, according to the BBC.
Anne Frank was a German Jew who wrote a diary during her time hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam during World War II.
Frank and her family were eventually betrayed after two years and she was transported to Bergen-Belsen in northern Germany in early 1945, where she died.
She became a symbol of resilience following the release of her famous diary recounting her story and wishes during hiding.
SBS News has reached to the retailers for comment.
