Extract: A passage from "The Diary of Anne Frank" will be read before the start of all soccer matches in Italy after fans of one Rome team plastered a stadium with stickers showing the teenage Holocaust diarist wearing the uniform of a rival city club. The decision to hold a moment of silence and read from the diary at professional, amateur and youth matches was announced Tuesday by Italy's sports minister, Luca Lotti, and will be carried out by the Italian soccer federation ... Lazio President Claudio Lotito said Tuesday that in response to the incident, his club will take 200 fans every year to visit Auschwitz ... Prior to the decisions being announced, Lotito laid a wreath in front of Rome's main synagogue in memory of Holocaust victims and condemned the actions of the fans.
