The Dutch postal authorities issued a stamp with the portrait of Anne Frank this week to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the liberation of Holland from German occupation in World War II. It is one of two stamps issued on the occasion. The other depicts a British bomber dropping food parcels over Holland just before the liberation. The Anne Frank stamp also shows a school exercise book of the kind the teenager used to write her diary before she was arrested by the Nazis and deported to a death comp. The denomination of the stamp is the equivalent of 60 cents.
