Anne Frank exhibit opening in New York amid US debate over antisemitism

First full-scale replica of Frank's attic annexe goes on show next week on International Holocaust Remembrance Day

The first-ever full-scale replica of Anne Frank's attic annex goes on show in New York next week, part of an ongoing effort to maintain awareness of - and combat - antisemitism in the midst of conflict in the Middle East and political tensions in the US.

Eighty years on from Frank's death, aged 15, in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945, the exhibition at the Center for Jewish History in downtown Manhattan aims to introduce new audiences to one of the most famous victims of Adolf Hitler's final solution".
