HISTORIC ROOM
HISTORIC ROOM: The annex where the young Jewish diarist Anne Frank hid from Nazi occupiers during World War II is heading to New York.
A full-scale replica of the rooms that form the heart of the Anne Frank House museum on one of Amsterdam’s historic canals is being built in the Netherlands and will be shipped across the Atlantic for a show titled “ Anne Frank The Exhibition ” at the Center for Jewish History in Manhattan.
“For the first time in history, the Anne Frank House will present what I would call a pioneering experience outside of Amsterdam. To immerse visitors in a full-scale, meticulous recreation of the secret annex. Those rooms where Anne Frank, her parents, her sister, four other Jews, spent more than two years hiding to evade Nazi capture,” Anne Frank House director Ronald Leopold told The Associated Press in an interview detailing the upcoming exhibition.
