The Many Lives of Anne Frank
In the latest entry to Yale's 'Jewish Lives' series, Franklin explores the history and legacy of the most famous witness to the Holocaust.
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: 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.
The display is part of the first-ever full-scale replica of Frank’s annex — one that aims to introduce new audiences to the most famous victim of the Holocaust at a time when anxiety is high over whether its lessons have been learned.
