A full-scale replica of Anne Frank’s secret annex has opened in New York City, offering visitors a rare glimpse into the space where she wrote her famous diary. Veuer has the story!

The show, which opens on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, recreates the annex where Anne and her family hid from the Nazis.

"Anne Frank The Exhibition" opens in Manhattan, featuring over 100 items reflecting Anne Frank's life and the Holocaust.

The Anne Frank House, in partnership with the Center for Jewish History, unveiled the world premiere of Anne Frank The Exhibition in New York City on Monday, coinciding with International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

And yet, for all that, Anne Frank remains something of an abstraction, especially for the many who have never trekked to Amsterdam and the Anne Frank House museum, which houses hundreds of artifacts and personal items of the Frank family. It also contains the infamous secret annex hidden behind a bookcase, which has been carefully preserved.

“Anne Frank: The Exhibition” features a replica of the hidden annex where eight Jewish people, including Anne and her family, lived for two years between July 1942 and August 1944 before they were discovered and sent to death camps.
