Nice day. It’s Monday. We will read about a new Anne Frank exhibition in the city today, which is International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
A new Anne Frank exhibit will open the Jewish History Center in New York City today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and will do so for 3 months before moving on to other cities.
“Anne Frank the exhibition” is a large -scale recreation of the annex where Anne and her circle of relatives hid from the Nazis from July 1942 to August 1944 in Amsterdam, and where she wrote her diary. The exhibition has more than one hundred original artifacts and examines Anne’s life and death. This is the first time that the annex has been absolutely rebuilt outside the doors of Amsterdam, my colleague Laurel Graeber reported.
The exhibition aims to show “how this history, how this reminiscence goes into the 21st century,” said Ronald Leopold, executive director of Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, in an interview with Laurel. He comes to New York when anti-Semitism is in the United States and abroad.
The rebuilt annex has five rooms. Each room has the main points and accurate dimensions such as Anne Frank House’s counterpart, which more than 1. 2 million people who are in each year. Unlike the original space, which left deliberately empty, each of the rooms of the exhibition is full of furniture and belongings, adding books and a board game. It also has a facsimile of the newspaper; The original is in Amsterdam.
