The 19-year old wrote: 'Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a Belieber.' 
Eva's comments come as she releases her new biography, After Auschwitz, which describes the good and bad influence of Anne's legacy since her death in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp at the age of 15.
And while London resident Schloss, the pop star and the museum saw his message as an inoffensive remark, many across the world took it as an insult to the memory of the young World War II writer.

Gillian Walnes MBE, co-founder of The Anne Frank Trust UK, said: 'This is a place where Anne spent two years hiding in claustrophobic conditions, where she put down her dreams of making the world a better place.
'Now 70 years later a pop singer is trying to hijack this for his own self-aggrandisement.
'It says a lot about what his ego is turning into.'
Her thoughts were echoed across social media, and marked yet another issue to taint Justin's European tour.

The post which quickly spread to Twitter and other social networks, where Bieber came under further fire.
One person even tweeted: 'When life gets done with Justin Bieber, I have a feeling it isn't going to be pretty.'
Another wrote in regards to Justin's note in the guestbook: 'I weep for humanity.'
This backlash is yet another issue to mar Justin's European tour, who also had one of his Oman performances cancelled, as Muslim leaders declared his routine 'too sexy'.
A source in the country told The Daily Star: 'People didn’t want him coming to Oman.

Justin's tour promoters said in a statement: 'Alive Entertainment regrets to announce that the Justin Bieber in Oman show will no longer take place.'
'Due to overwhelming regional demand, a second show in Dubai has been announced for May 5,' it continued.
