In Vilnius this week, I re-connected with my old friend Ilya Lempertas, who is a historian and independent Jewish tour guide, and our seminar group was guided around Jewish Vilnius by another guide, Yulik Gurvich, who with his son runs the JeruLita travel agency.
That means that I have now been guided in Lithuania by four different guides -- two based in Vilnius and two in Kaunas. I had good experiences with all of them, so here are their contacts:
Ilya Lempertas, Vilnius -- E-mail: lempertas@gmail.com
Yulik Gurevich, Vilnius -- JeruLita Tours
Simonas Dovidavicius, Kaunas. (Simon is executive director of the Sugihara House.) E-mail: sugiharahouse@yahoo.com
Chaim Bargman, Kaunas. P. Luksio str. 37 – 22, 3043 Kaunas, Lithuania. Tel: (+370 7) 77 99 48 Mob: (+370) 6 8177166.
