Politics 2012: Ron Paul strategy keeps things interesting
NEW YORK, Jan. 25 (UPI) -- A file of 80 letters from Anne Frank's father, describing desperate efforts to escape Nazis in the Netherlands, has been found in New York City.
Anne Frank wrote one of the most famous memoirs of the World War II Holocaust.
The correspondence from Otto Frank was discovered in the archives of the New York-based YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, Time magazine said on its Web site Thursday.
The trove includes letters written by Otto Frank between April 30, 1941 and Dec. 11, 1941, as well as letters from Frank's American relatives and a friend, Nathan Straus Jr., the son of the founder of Macy's department store.
YIVO says it will release the documents at a press conference on Feb. 14.
The English-language edition of "Anne Frank: Diary of a Young Girl" was published in 1952, five years after it was published in Dutch.
