A rare poem written by famed Jewish diarist Anne Frank was on show at Bubb Kuyper auction house in Haarlem, Tuesday, with the artefact set to go under the hammer on Wednesday.
Anne Frank became world famous for a diary she wrote while in hiding during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, before her eventual discovery and internment in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp where she died.
The eight-line poem was written on March 28 1942, some months before her family was forced to shelter from Nazi authorities in the Achterhuis building in Amsterdam.
According to Thijs Blankevoort, the poem is "historically important because probably this is the last chance that anybody has purchasing a private document or manuscript by Anne Frank". It is estimated at a price of €30,000 to €40,000 ($31,000-$42,000).
