Belarus
Belarus? What can you find there? Come and discover this interesting post soviet country.
Welcome to Belarus
Belarus (“White Russia”) is a former Soviet republic that suffered greatly under the Nazi occupation. As a result, numerous memorials throughout the country are a testament to those historical atrocities. The most impressive of all is the Khatyn Memorial, which honors the fallen of the 1943 Khatyn Massacre. We’ll discover Belarus’ fascinating and often somber history through its monuments, due to its long, war-torn heritage. From the Brest Citadel, a key point in the German-Soviet War, to 17th-century Slonim Synagogue – many who visit Belarus feel like they step back in time.
Things to See and Do
The country is home to a wealth of remarkable architecture, such as the Mir and Nesvizh Radziwill castles and the churches at Vitebsk, hometown of the painter Marc Chagall. First, we’ll visit the ancient cities of Grodno and Novogrudek. In addition, we’ll make stops at the great Volozhin, Radin, Mir, Novardok yeshivas. Finally, we’ll stop at the capital Minsk hero-city, to learn about the evolution of Belarusian architecture to the 1950s.
Eating and Drinking
Modern Belarusian cuisine includes many traditional dishes. The most popular are pork stew (machanka), homemade sausages (vereshchaka), thick potato pancakes (draniki),baked grated potato pie (babka), while you rarely see a menu without dumplings (Kolduny / Kletski). In addition, soups are a favorite: Cold Sorrel soup, Mushroom soup and so on. Since the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Belarus’ culinary traditions have been a mix of Baltic, Slavic, Jewish and German influences.

Hellow, you can! What places you want to visit?
You need to take care of a visa to Belarus in advance in your residence country. Where are you from?

I am planning to attend the International Jewish genealogical society conference in Warsaw Aug. 5-10. Afterwards I am interested in bringing my family on a roots tour to the shtetl of Lachva (40 miles from Pinsk) Belarus, Voloshin, and Vilna. None of your tours seem to go that far south. Because there may be 5 or 6 or more people involved (not sure about my California cousins yet), I wondered if you could arrange a private tour and what the costs would be. If my CA cousins came, they might want to also go to Riga. Any information you can provide would be helpful.
Thanks!
Dear Susan,
Thank you for reaching out with your comment:
We would be glad to organize a private tour for you.
I come back to you with an itinerary and a price offer in a few days.
Best regards, Daniel
