Anne Frank would have been 96 years old on Thursday. In honor of the famous teen diarist and Holocaust victim’s birthday, “Anne Frank: The Exhibition” — which is now on view at the Center for Jewish History — is giving out 10,000 copies of her book, “Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl.”
Commonly known as “The Diary of Anne Frank,” the books will be distributed to students and families beginning Thursday morning at DREAM Charter School in East Harlem. Later, from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m., they’ll be given away at locations throughout the five boroughs, including Union Square Park’s center lawn.
Books will continue to be distributed across the city all summer, until supplies run out…
