Overview

• 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.
