Exhibit at Center for Jewish History in Manhattan represents the first time the annex has been completely recreated outside of Amsterdam

The secret annex – one of the most famous dwellings in history, thanks to Frank’s best-selling published diary – can now be explored remotely, in New York.

Anne Frank House is bringing a recreation of the Secret Annex—where Anne Frank and her family hid during the Holocaust—to New York.

Dutch set designers spent months poring over Frank’s diaries and sourcing vintage furniture from the Netherlands for NYC exhibit.

The entire installation aims to examine Anne Frank’s life — and death — with a scope not often found in other treatments of this chapter in history.

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.

New York City's Center for Jewish History is hosting an Anne Frank exhibit that recreates the rooms she and her family hid in during World War II and the Holocaust.

"Anne Frank The Exhibition" opened in NYC, marking the first full-scale recreation of the annex where Anne Frank spent two years hiding during World War II.
