For the first time outside of Amsterdam, an exhibition reconstructs Anne’s hiding place during the devastation of the Holocaust.

When it comes to teaching kids about the Holocaust, New York City parents and teachers have a new tool at their disposal: Anne Frank The Exhibition, which opens today at the Center for Jewish History.

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.

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

This is the remarkable Anne Frank The Exhibition, opening at the Center for Jewish History in New York City on January 27, coinciding with International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 80 th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp where one million Jews were exterminated.

Commemorating the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz’s liberation, an installation in New York tells the tragic story of the teenage girl and diarist, featuring a precisely scaled re-creation of the Amsterdam annex in which the Franks hid from the Nazis.

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

The Anne Frank annex recreation at the Center for Jewish History offers a rare opportunity for visitors unable to travel to Amsterdam where 1.2 million people visited the Anne Frank House in 2023. Demand for tickets to the New York exhibit is high, with weekend tickets already sold out through the exhibition’s April 30th closing date.

“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.
