An “extremely rare” handwritten poem that Anne Frank, penned shortly before she went into hiding from the Nazis, is to be auctioned later this month in Holland and could upwards of $55,000.

The poem was written in the friendship book belonging to the older sister of Anne’s best friend and is signed by the teenager and dated March 28, 1942.

According to the Dutch daily NRC, this is just the fourth time that something in the young diarist’s handwriting has gone up for sale.

Anne Frank’s Diary has sold more than 30 million copies and been translated into 67 languages. She died at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany in 1945 at the age of 15.
