Due to the continuing global threat of the coronavirus, we have made the decision to postpone the study tour to ensure the safety of our participants, staff, and the communities we were to visit.
We hope that you and your families remain healthy and safe during this challenging time.

Due to popular demand and the success of the 2018 tour, YIVO will host its second Literary Tour of Jewish Galicia.
On this tour 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 and Dr. Jonathan Brent, YIVO Executive Director and CEO, 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.
