The Exhibition
Anne Frank The Exhibition includes a first-of-its-kind, full-scale recreation of the complete Annex, furnished as it would have been when Anne and her family were forced into hiding.
Moving through the exhibition, visitors will be able to immerse themselves in the context that shaped Anne’s life—from her early years in Frankfurt, Germany through the rise of the Nazi regime and the family’s move to Amsterdam, where Anne lived for eight years until her arrest and deportation to Westerbork, a large transit camp in the Netherlands, then to Auschwitz-Birkenau, a concentration camp and killing center in Nazi-occupied Poland, and eventually to her death at Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in Germany when she was 15 years old.
The New York City exhibition will occupy over 7,500 square feet of gallery space in the heart of Union Square. This marks the first time dozens of artifacts will be seen in the United States — many have never been seen in public.
Other exhibit items include:
Anne's photo album with school photos from 1934 and 1935
Reconstruction of Anne Frank's room, her writing desk where she wrote her famous diary
A faithfully reproduced replica of Anne Frank's first diary, a gift for her birthday, 12 June 1942
Otto Frank's cabin trunk
Poetry album with a poem by Anne
