"Visiting the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam was surreal. I'd read her diary multiple times growing up, but being there felt different. Heavier. I walked slowly through the rooms, taking it all in."
"I gasped when I noticed the faded pencil markings, leftover from when Anne's dad would track her height during the time in the Annex. It was the first time the small details I'd read about in school truly came to life before my eyes."
A grandmother, a natural storyteller and school librarian, instilled a love for travel in her grandchildren. After years of raising children, she and her husband traveled extensively upon retirement. She gifted her grandchild $2,000 to explore Europe before settling down. This trip, which included visiting the Anne Frank House, profoundly impacted the grandchild's perspective and teaching career. The experience of seeing places from books in person brought a deeper understanding and connection to history and literature.
