When a Dutch schoolteacher named Paul van den Heuvel began gathering materials for a history lesson on Anne Frank, he probably had no idea that he'd make a bit of history himself. As he was looking through some of his father's old books, he discovered an old postcard displaying a Christmas bell and signed with one very famous name: "Anne Frank".

Curators at the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam have already confirmed that the card is genuine, stating that this card resembles another already in the museum's collection. The card was apparently sent in 1937, eight years before Anne Frank's death.

The Diary of Anne Frank is still the world's top-selling book about the Holocaust, documenting the months Anne and her family spent hiding from the Nazis during World War II.
