Anne Frank. (AP) Last update - 21:30 24/02/2008 U.K. paper prints photo of Anne Frank's childhood love interest By The Associated Press Tags: Anne Frank, World War Two  A British newspaper has published what it calls the first known photograph of a boy Anne Frank fell in love with and wrote about in her famous diary. Frank, the Jewish schoolgirl who wrote her diary while hiding from the Nazis in the Netherlands during World War II, was captivated by Peter Schiff. She met him at school in 1940, his family also having fled from Germany to Amsterdam the previous year. Advertisement At age 11, Frank fell in love with Schiff and later, while in hiding in Amsterdam herself, wrote about how much she missed him. Frank's last mention of Schiff was in 1944, the year her family's safe house was raided by the German security police. She later died in a Nazi prison camp. Sunday's The Observer newspaper reported that Ernst Michaelis, 81, of London, found the photo of Schiff in a family collection after realizing that Frank was writing about a boy he had known as a fellow student in Berlin. Michaelis, who moved from Germany to Britain many years ago, said he has had the photo authenticated and that it will be displayed on the Anne Frank House Web site. Schiff also is believed to have died in a Nazi prison camp.
