^#200 ^Lot 211 Otto Frank

TLS in German, one page both sides, 5.75 x 8, personal letterhead, November 15, 1967. Frank writes to “Fredy and Dear Alice,” translated in part: “Naturally I was interested to hear something from you about what is going on in your life, and I can imagine how difficult it was (after Buchenwald) to get on your feet. That your youngest son was so successful early on is a great deal of luck, but it seems that Alice’s great talent had developed….My wife had a similar experience as I. She was with her daughter in Auschwitz and lost her husband and her son in the concentration camp. God be thanked that her daughter is still living and in London, where I visit frequently…Otherwise, our main work is with the Anne Frank Memorial, which is in Amsterdam, and a great deal of correspondence with young people from all over the world who are writing me. Anne’s diary has been published in 43 countries and/or languages. I am going to Amsterdam ten times each year to work with the organization and management of the foundation.” In fine condition, with light creasing and a small area of surface loss, lightly affecting the text of the first paragraph. Accompanied by an original photo of Otto Frank, the original mailing envelope, four different editions of The Diary of a Young Girl, a copy of Anne Frank in the World, a Life magazine dated August 18, 1958 featuring Frank on the cover, a booklet from the Anne Frank Foundation in Amsterdam, and multiple clippings and slides. A wonderful collection honoring the life, bravery, and spirit of a very, very special girl.
