2017 Lithuania and Poland Study Tour
"How will our children know who they are, if they don't know where they came from?" —John Steinbeck
YIVO invites you on an enlightening journey
to Lithuania and Poland.
Experience the region’s cultural treasures as you glimpse your own heritage. Discover the fascinating stories of old Warsaw, Krakow, Vilnius and more. Your travel companion and guide, noted historian Dr. Samuel Kassow, our scholar-in-residence, will bring to life the fascinating way Jewish culture helped shape these societies through the ages. You’ll meet the dynamic young Jews building new communities on ancestral ground and take in the sights and sounds of the hugely popular Jewish Culture Festival in Krakow, the largest Jewish festival in Europe.
