tour of Poland, with a focus on the sights (and sites!) in Poland

that are of special interest to those Mennonites with a
Dutch/Prussian/Low German heritage, all of whom have
ancestral roots in what is now Poland. Dr. Peter J. Klassen
originated the tour itinerary, and Alan Peters has picked up the
torch from him, and is now leading the annual tour. Alan Peters
offers the above document about next summer's tour, and
invites you to look it over carefully, and see if you can imagine
yourself joining them on this informative, exciting and
comfortable tour of Poland.

Contact information is in the document if you have any

questions.

This Tour would be a good way to "return to your roots" as well

as get a "taste" of Polish history, art, music, culture and
cuisine!
