We already knew that here at MIR. Our specialists have been helping people in the U.S. search for traces of their ancestors since our beginnings in 1986.<\/strong> We\u2019ve created heritage tours for Volga German-Americans, Ukrainian-Americans, Russian-Americans, Polish-Americans, and lots more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the article, Gifford gives us a special shout-out as an expert in arranging custom itineraries for Jewish people seeking their lost families in Eastern Europe<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMIR Corporation also puts together ancestry travel tours for Jewish clients interested in tracing their roots in Europe\u2026 By working with a team of private journey specialists, travelers can expect handcrafted itineraries that enable them to connect with their family heritage.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Our core destinations in Eastern Europe<\/a> were flourishing centers of Jewish life and culture right up until the Nazi occupation ushered in the Holocaust. Over the years, we\u2019ve gathered quantities of information on Jewish heritage in Russia<\/a>, Central and East Europe<\/a>, and the Baltics<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MIR Independent Travel Specialists work closely with clients to bring travelers closer to their roots, helping to find villages and former shtetls<\/em> that today might be within the boundaries of other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n
