And yet, for all that, Anne Frank remains something of an abstraction, especially for the many who have never trekked to Amsterdam and the Anne Frank House museum, which houses hundreds of artifacts and personal items of the Frank family. It also contains the infamous secret annex hidden behind a bookcase, which has been carefully preserved.

For the first time outside of Amsterdam, an exhibition reconstructs Anne’s hiding place during the devastation of the Holocaust.

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.

The annex where the young Jewish diarist Anne Frank hid from Nazi occupiers during World War II is now open in NYC. FOX 5 NY's Hayley Fixler gives an inside look at the full-scale replica of Anne Frank's annex.
