A new Anne Frank exhibition opens at the Center for Jewish History in New York on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, lasting three months. This significant event includes a full-scale re-creation of the annex where Anne and her family hid from the Nazis. Featuring over 100 original artifacts, the exhibition highlights Anne's life and legacy in the context of increasing antisemitism today. It is a unique opportunity to engage with history, bringing her story into the 21st century through a meticulously detailed reconstruction of her hiding place with authentic furnishings.
The exhibition aims to show how this history, how this memory will go into the 21st century, as antisemitism is rising in the United States and abroad.
Each room has the exact details and dimensions as its counterpart at the Anne Frank House, which more than 1.2 million people visit each year.
Unlike the original space, which has been intentionally left empty, the exhibition rooms are filled with furniture and possessions, including books and a board game.
This is the first time the annex has been completely reconstructed outside Amsterdam, providing a new perspective on a pivotal historical moment.
