03 IN SEARCH OF JEWISH ROOTS IN POLANDa journey that we plan depending on individual needs The World War II changed Poland completely. The multicultural and multinational land totally disappeared, nothing remained of picturesque world of the Polish Jews. People who still remember those days are slowly going away and it is very difficult to spot some old stories out from the sea of hidden memories. However, it is still possible for someone who search for it carefully. We would like to wake up some Jewish stories and to meet the pre-war world, which seems so unknown to many people nowadays. If you are connected somehow with the Polish-Jewish history or you are simply interested in discovering it with us, we can prepare a trip focused on this topic especially for you. We guarantee our assistance and help in the search for your relatives and places connected with your personal story. Maybe together we will manage to see the union of some broken roots of your family? All you have to do is to write names of places to be visited in the form of contact. According to it, we will prepare a special itinerary just for you!

RecommendationsMy name is Monte and, along with my wife Mickey, we led a photography workshop trip to Poland between June 23 and July 8, 2005. The purpose of this letter is to tell you how totally pleased we were with our guide, Monika Prylinska. In fact, I've been conducting photography workshops throughout the world for 15 years and I would rank Monika as the best guide I have ever had. She was very personable, very knowledgeable and went out of her way to satisfy our entire group. Monika was most helpful in making our trip to Poland (first visit for any of us) enjoyable and memorable. Poland is a very beautiful country and we all took home a very favorable impression, thanks in great part to Monika. On a return visit, I would definitely request her as a guide. Sincerely, |
