Cancelled
The current situation in Eastern Europe compels the cancellation of the Literary Tour of Jewish Galicia.
We are currently developing a tour that will start in Krakow, proceed to Wroclaw (formerly Breslau), and then to Berlin via Dresden.
We appreciate your patience. If you have any questions, please contact Melissa Cohen at mcohen@yivo.org.

"How will our children know who they are, if they don't know where they came from?"

Due to popular demand and the success of the 2018 tour, YIVO will host its second Literary Tour of Jewish Galicia, where we will read the works of writers such as Peretz, Bruno Schulz, Agnon, Celan, Babel, and many others in the places that they were written, and travel through the historic landscape that shaped them. Readings will illustrate the impact these experiences had on their work. Noted historian Dr. Samuel Kassow, together with YIVO staff, will guide you on a unique journey of literary and cultural discovery.
The tour will be chaired by Irene Pletka, vice-chair of the YIVO Board of Directors.
