New Year's card sent by Anne Frank found by Barry Artiste

Certainly a New Years Card with "Good Luck for a New Year" from a 8 year old, in which 5 years later, a young child could never envision things to come, spending New Years hiding for her life in an family friends attic, ultimately seeing the end of her life in a concentration camp.
 

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands — A Dutch school director preparing an exhibition on Anne Frank has found a holiday postcard signed by the Jewish teenage diarist, a museum said Wednesday.

The card, sent in 1937, was addressed to one of Frank’s best friends, Samme Ledermann, and postmarked from just across the Dutch border in Aachen, Germany, said Maatje Mostard, of the Anne Frank Museum.

Decorated with a clover-covered bell atop a snowy field and wishing “good luck for the new year” in German, the card was signed “Anne Frank” with no other handwritten message.
