A new immersive exhibit featuring a full-scale replica of Anne Frank's secret annex is set to open in New York. This will mark the first time the Anne Frank House will display this iconic recreation outside Amsterdam. The exhibition is scheduled to open on January 27, marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and will coincide with the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

For two years during World War II, Anne Frank and her family, along with others, hid from Nazi persecution in a cramped annex in Amsterdam. This space is now being recreated with meticulous detail to offer visitors a deeply immersive experience, highlighting the intense struggles and hopes within the annex, Euro News reported.
