Today in the Netherlands, this postcard was found in an antique store.
It was authenticated as an original postcard addressed to a friend she wrote about in her
diary. This is only the 2nd card ever found that she sent...what a waste that she had
to hide 25 months to die in a camp later. I'll never forget reading about her when I was
young. Her story taught me about history in such a personal one-on-one way.
I actually went to Amsterdam when I was in college and I remember going to the house where
she hid and seeing the false bookcase that led to the hidden home. Here's the link if you want to
see it. http://www.channels.nl/amsterdam/annefran.html
