Anne Frank’s Secret Annex Meticulously Recreated in New York Exhibit

The immersive exhibit, marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, offers a rare glimpse into the Frank family's life in hiding during World War II.

The exhibit at the Center for Jewish History in Manhattan features a full-scale replica of Anne Frank's secret annex, shown with furniture and personal belongings to depict life in hiding.
This is the first time the annex has been recreated outside Amsterdam, where the original site remains a central part of the Anne Frank House museum.
The exhibition includes over 100 artifacts, such as Anne's first photo album, handwritten poetry, and a replica of her iconic diary, alongside 79 translated editions of her book.
Organizers emphasize the exhibit’s educational purpose, aiming to foster empathy and reflection on discrimination and minority experiences both past and present.
The installation, which runs through April 30, traces the Frank family's story from pre-war Germany to their time in hiding and eventual deportation to Nazi concentration camps.
