A Dutch court may rule this week whether some of the letters of Anne Frank, the Jewish girl whose posthumously published diary about her time in hiding from the Nazis made her a symbol of the Holocaust, should stay in Amsterdam or be sent to Switzerland.
The letters - and about 10,000 photographs and other documents, but not the diary - are at the center of a dispute between Anne Frank House, the Amsterdam museum dedicated to her memory, and Anne Frank Fonds, the Basel-based foundation set up by her father Otto.
At issue is where that material should be kept and whether Anne Frank's story is best told in the museum dedicated to her or as part of a broader context.
