A full-scale replica of the secret annex where Anne Frank penned her famous diary has opened in New York City.

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.

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” 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.

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

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.

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