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

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.

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.

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.

“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.

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.
