A poem by Dutch schoolgirl Anne Frank written shortly before her family went into hiding from the Nazis has sold at auction for €140,000 ($148,000; £120,000), well over the estimate. Anne sent the eight-line verse to a friend in 1942. The auction house in the Netherlands had valued the rare, handwritten note at €30,000-€50,000. Anne is best remembered for her diaries of life as a German-born Jew in occupied Amsterdam in World War Two.
