A new Anne Frank museum is opening at the University of South Carolina, which will be the first in North America and the fourth in the world where visitors can walk through the famed story of the teenage Holocaust victim. "The Anne Frank Center at USC is unlike anything the university has ever done before," interim university president Harris Pastides said during an announcement ceremony Tuesday, according to news outlets. "Through the eyes of this little girl, who still lives, I would argue, we can change the world." All the artifacts for the museum were provided by the original Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, which preserved the secret annex where the Franks hid. Admission will be free for University of South Carolina students, and it's suggested that members of the general public make donations.
