It is a place and an opportunity for You to discover authentic places and to see small villages, to touch old houses and, who knows, maybe Your ancestors lived in one of them many years ago.

5.00I thoroughly recommend this trip to everyone, whether you are interested in Jewish history or not. It is all part of the Lithuanian experience, even though some folk may find the Holocaust Museum distressing. However, it gave the history of the arrival of the Jews, who were invited to Lithuania, from the 15th century, and informatively moves through to modern times. Huge care has been taken to present a well-researched history, and the movies that have been made to reflect the era could have been directed by Zeffirelli himself. They have used the best writers and cameramen to paint beautiful scenes with poignant music. My excellent guide also took me to the village that my parents came from, and had done extensive research on the times that they lived there and told me facts that I was unaware of. In addition to this, I did the tour of “Jewish Vilnius”, the small and large Ghettos and the original courtyard homes and synagogue, as well as the “stumble stones that are scattered around the area. I must stress the professionalism and the wide knowledge of the guides. By far, they were the ones who made the greatest impression on me. Although I had spent several months doing research before visiting Lithuania, the guides had more knowledge than I could find on the internet. However, they went beyond just dispensing information. They did not present their information as though it were a lecture. The history was told with humour and sensitivity, and honesty with empathy and understanding as though they had lived through the events. Bravo to Lithuanian Tourism for making my holiday and Adventure!
Wonderful Lithuania
