Handwritten poem signed by Anne Frank to be auctioned
A rare handwritten poem signed by Anne Frank is expected to sell for thousands of euros when it is auctioned in the Netherlands.
The eight-line poem, half of which was copied from a Dutch book of verse, is dated March 28, 1942, shortly before Anne and her family went into hiding from the Netherlands` wartime Nazi occupiers in a secret apartment in an Amsterdam canal house.

The poem, being auctioned Wednesday afternoon, is accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the seller, Anne`s former school friend Jacqueline van Maarsen. The poem is addressed to Van Maarsen`s late sister, Christiane.

Maatje Mostart of the Anne Frank Foundation says there is no doubt about the poem`s authenticity.

Anne died in a Nazi concentration camp at age 15.
