The 2020 tours have been cancelled due to the COVID-19 situation. We are currently working on itineraries for 2021 - to include an opportunity to visit some of the 1941 deportation sites in Siberia, but we'll be taking the Trans-Siberian Railroad instead of repurposed cattle cars.
Dr. Brent Mai, director of the Volga German Institute at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, and Dr. Mila Koretnikov from the Cooperative University of Baden-Württemberg in Karlsruhe, Germany, will be leading tours to the Volga German colonies August 1-16. These tours will visit what remains of the colonies along the Volga River and the archives in Engels along with visits to historic and cultural sites in Saratov, St. Petersburg, and Moscow.
Tour A (August 1-12)
Tour B (August 5-16)
