Bringing Anne Frank’s Secret Annex to New York, and the World

January 22, 2025

The New York Times – Created by the Anne Frank House and presented in partnership with the Center for Jewish History, “Anne Frank the Exhibition” aims to examine Anne Frank’s life — and death — with a scope not often found in other treatments of this chapter in history. Following a chronological path, the installation traces Anne and her family from the 1920s in Frankfurt, Germany, through their flight to Amsterdam, and the reconstructed annex. The show goes on to chronicle the return from Auschwitz of Otto Frank, Anne’s father, and the sole survivor among the eight hidden Jews.
