Examine the life that was lived as you reconnect with your own heritage. Discover the remarkable treasures of old Warsaw, Kraków, Vilnius, and Białowieża. Noted historian Dr. Samuel Kassow, together with Dr. Jonathan Brent, YIVO Executive Director and CEO, will illustrate the fascinating ways Jewish culture helped shape these societies. You will also visit places where the greatest tragedy in our history occurred. Additionally, you will meet the dynamic young Jews re-building communities on ancestral grounds and take in the sights and sounds of the hugely popular Jewish Culture Festival, the largest Jewish festival in Europe.

The tour will be chaired by Irene Pletka, vice-chair of the YIVO Board of Directors.
