PAUL TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 2025WINNIPEGFREEPRESS.COM ● A5 NEWS I PROVINCE / WORLD IIU investigating another RCMP-related death ANOTHER person has died after interacting with Manitoba RCMP — the fourth such death this month. Two males were arrested after a traffic stop on Highway 6 in the Rural Municipality of St. Laurent at about 2:40 p.m. Friday. The stop was unrelated to what the males were arrested for, RCMP told the province’s police watchdog that day. Shortly after the arrests, police noted one of the males — an adult — was suffering from a medical emergency and contacted emergency crews. The male was unresponsive and did not have a pulse, so police gave him CPR. Emer- gency crews continued giving the man CPR for about 45 minutes before pronouncing him dead, the Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba said in a news release Monday. Officers from four Manitoba RCMP detach- ments and one in Saskatchewan were sent to find a missing man in Duck Mountain Provincial Park, near the Manitoba border, on Jan. 19. Offi- cers found him in the bush, and police later told the IIU he was handcuffed “for officer safety” because “there was an indication the male may have a weapon.” It was later determined that the man no longer had a pulse, and he died in hospital. Last week, a spokesperson for the Manitoba government said they could not state whether the man was found in Saskatchewan or this province. A woman died in Ashern’s hospital after be- ing arrested in Vogar on Jan. 15. Cory Wiebe, a 33-year-old father of seven, was fatally shot by a Manitoba RCMP officer outside his family’s home in Dominion City on Jan. 14. fpcity@freepress.mb.ca Replica of Anne Frank’s hidden annex opens in NYC N EW YORK — A full-scale replica of the se- cret annex where Anne Frank penned her famous diary opened in New York City on Monday as the world marked International Holo- caust Remembrance Day. The exhibit at the Center for Jewish History in Manhattan represents the first time the annex has been completely recreated outside of Amster- dam, where the space is a central part of the Anne Frank House museum. But while the original annex has been inten- tionally left empty, the New York reconstruction shows the five rooms as they would have looked while the Frank family and others lived in hiding. The spaces are filled with furniture and posses- sions, including a reconstruction of the writing desk where Frank wrote her diary. Ronald Leopold, director of the Anne Frank House, said furnishing the recreated space was important to tell Anne’s story in a new and immer- sive way, especially for those who may not get to visit the Amsterdam museum, which also houses Frank’s original diary. “We very much hope that we will be able to touch people’s hearts here, because education is the focus of this exhibition,” Leopold said at Mon- day’s opening. “And education starts with em- pathy — empathy with what happened here, what happened in Amsterdam during those years, what was done to Anne Frank.” The Frank family hid with other Jews for two years in the attic of patriarch Otto Frank’s office in Amsterdam as the Nazi German army occupied the Netherlands during the Second World War. They were eventually discovered in 1944 and sent to concentration camps, including Ausch- witz-Birkenau, which was liberated by Soviet troops 80 years ago Monday. Anne and her older sister Margot died of typhus at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945. Their father, Otto, was the only person from the annex to survive the Holocaust. After the war, he published his 15-year-old daughter’s diary, which is considered one of the most important works of the 20th century. Frank died in 1980 at the age of 91. Hannah-Milena Elias, the granddaughter of Anne Frank’s cousin, Buddy Elias, said she found it emotional walking through the exhibit rooms. “It is quite overwhelming and quite touching to see what a tiny space the families had to stay in and live for more than two years,” said the 29-year-old, who lives in Switzerland. Her sibling, Leyb-Anouk Elias, hoped the ex- hibit would encourage visitors to reflect on what it means to face discrimination or be a minority today. “History, unfortunately, is repeating itself in different ways,” the 27-year-old Berlin resident said. “We have to be very, very careful how to act and to do stuff against it, to not ever make this happen again.” The New York exhibit, which runs through April 30, spans more than 7,500 square feet and includes more than 100 photos and other artifacts — many never before displayed publicly, accord- ing to officials. Among the items are Anne Frank’s first photo album and her handwritten poetry, as well as a replica of her famous diary. There’s also nearly 80 translated editions of her diary and even the Oscar won by Shelley Winters for the 1959 film The Diary of Anne Frank. The installation is presented chronologic- ally, tracing the Frank family’s life in Germany through the rise of the Nazi regime, the family’s flight to Amsterdam and their life in hiding and eventual capture. Henry Byrne, a junior at Xavier, a Catholic high school in Manhattan, said learning about the family’s saga helped him grasp the enormity of the Holocaust. “It taught me a lot about how just because you see one story, walk into these rooms and all the beds and the tables, that’s just one person’s life,” the 16-year-old said. “And there were millions that were lost.” — The Associated Press PHILIP MARCELO AND JOSEPH FREDERICK PHOTOS BY JULIA DEMAREE NIKHINSON / THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Anne Frank Exhibit features a full-size replica of the attic in which she and her family hid from the Nazis.
