I recently visited a first-of-its-kind exhibit in New York City: a full-scale replica of Anne Frank’s hiding place during World War II. I had the opportunity to speak to Michael Glickman, who was key to this exhibit coming to the United States. And what you’re about to listen to is the behind-the-scenes interview I conducted with Michael. I wasn’t planning on sharing the full conversation! But as I listened to our conversation while preparing for our first piece on "Anne Frank The Exhibition," I felt like you would really enjoy it "as is" and learn a lot, like I did.  SUPPORT OUR MISSION: Love nonpartisan news?

On this day, June 12, 1929, a young girl is born in Germany. Her story would change the world.  "A Full-Scale Recreation of Anne Frank’s hiding place ..." reads the description of a first-of-its-kind exhibit you'll only see in New York City. I had no idea what to expect when I arrived that Thursday morning in Manhattan. Like so many others, I can clearly see the image of Anne Frank in my mind – her diary, detailing the inner world of a Jewish teenager hiding from the Nazis during World War II, helped form my own thoughts and understanding of that moment in history. During this "reporter's notebook," I take you inside the exhibit – where cameras are prohibited – and share a personal reflection on time spent learning about a story I thought I knew ... but really had so much more to learn.
