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

see is a behind-the-scenes interview I conducted with Michael. I wasn't planning on sharing the full

conversation, you know, maybe just a few sound bites here and there. But as I listened to it,

preparing for our first piece on the exhibit, I felt like you would really enjoy it as is and learn

a lot like I did. Here's Michael.

So I'm the former director of the Center for Jewish History and the former director of New

York's Holocaust Museum and have a long friendship and association with the director of the

Anne Frank House. And we started having conversation in February of 2024,

talking about what it could be to do a major exhibition

on Anne here in New York.

How did you feel called to do this work?

I've been doing this for now almost a quarter century.

And this has been my career.

It's been something that I have grown to become passionate by. Spent

just over 13 years here at the center and then spent some years working in the Holocaust Museum.

And for the last six years, have really focused on how do we tell the story of the Jewish people

by connecting philanthropy

and institutions around the world.

Getting my doctorate right now on the future of sustainability for Jewish museums in the

U.S.
