AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Apr 12, 2006 (UPI via COMTEX) -- Previously undisclosed letters from Anne Frank -- the Jewish girl killed by Nazis and famous for her diary -- are on display at an Amsterdam museum.
Curator Wouter van der Sluis said the letters, some of which were thought to have been destroyed, show an additional insight into Frank.
He said the letters show just how independent she was, the BBC reports. They also reveal she was a much more religious person that previously thought.
Most of the letters were addressed to relatives in Switzerland.
One is to her father, explaining a friendship with a boy she was hiding with in an Amsterdam attic. Her father didn't approve and said he would burn the letter, but he didn't burn it.
The curator said the exhibit at the Amsterdam Historical Museum is important "because she's world famous, you want to know everything about her, and indeed you find something more about her reading those letters."
