Step inside the Amsterdam bookstore where Anne Frank’s diary journey began.

Just around the corner from her home, Anne picked out a simple red-and-white journal — a birthday gift from her father that would become one of the most powerful voices of the 20th century.

This bookstore still honors her legacy today, in pages and in purpose.

Today is Remembrance Day in the Netherlands.Across Europe, small brass stones glint in the pavement. Each one is a life remembered. A story reclaimed. They are called Stolpersteine — or Stumbling Stones — and they form the largest decentralized memorial in the world.We stumble over these stones so that we remember. Not just the past — but the cost of forgetting. This is why we travel with purpose. Because people are still being erased today — even in places that call themselves free. Stolpersteine

Morgan Donaho | Travel Expert & Founder of Prose Travel In turbulent political times, the idea of resistance feels more relevant than ever. Travel itself can be an act of resistance—an opportunity to seek understanding, challenge perspectives, and honor the past. Few places embody this spirit quite like Amsterdam. Beneath its charming canals and gabled houses lies a history of defiance, resilience, and quiet acts of courage....

Uncover Amsterdam’s spirit of resistance with this cultural day trip—from hidden churches to powerful museums. A must for thoughtful travelers.
