In Transit Blog: A Token of Anne Frank’s Childhood, on View

The set of marbles that Anne Frank played with before she was forced into hiding are on display for the first time.

The marbles and their original tin box take center stage in the exhibit "The Second World War in 100 Objects," which runs through May 11 at the Kunsthal Rotterdam.

Like other Jewish children who gave away their toys when they had to report for deportation or go into hiding, Anne Frank left several treasured possessions with a neighborhood playmate, Toosje Kupers, before she and her family moved into the "secret annex" on the Prinsengracht canal in Amsterdam on July 6, 1942.

Ms. Kupers, now 83, donated several items of Frank's — a toy tea set, a book and the marbles — to the Anne Frank House.

Other artifacts in the World War II exhibit include the grave marker cross of  the American pilot James M. Hansen, who is buried at the Netherlands American Cemetery and Memorial at Margraten; a decoy paratrooper dummy, known as a "Rupert," used by the British to deceive the German troops; and a sweater made from dog's hair during the Dutch famine of 1944-45.
