Anne Frank the Exhibition, opening on International Holocaust Remembrance Day in Manhattan, provides a replica of the secret annex where Anne and her family lived in hiding during the Holocaust. Unlike the original annex, which is devoid of furnishings to symbolize the emptiness after the family's arrest, the New York display feels lived-in, showcasing Anne as a vibrant young girl with dreams rather than just a victim. The exhibition offers a unique perspective and deeper understanding of her life and aspirations.
The New York annex portrays Anne less as a victim and more as a young girl who liked collecting postcards and dreamed of becoming a journalist.
Opening on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Anne Frank the Exhibition was created by the Anne Frank House inside the Center for Jewish History.
Visitors are getting a completely different experience,' says Tom Brink, the head of collections and presentations at the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam.
After the family was arrested, the apartment was pillaged by the Nazis and left bare.
