ABOUT ME

My name is Aušra Mikulskienė, and I have been working as a licensed guide in Lithuania since 2012.

What began as a personal interest in Lithuania’s Jewish heritage gradually became my main professional focus. Today, most of my work is dedicated to private family roots and Jewish heritage tours, although I also guide cultural tours across Lithuania.

Over the years, I have helped visitors from around the world explore the towns where their families once lived, visit former shtetls, identify family homes, cemeteries, synagogues, and understand the historical context behind their family stories.

My goal is simple: to help visitors leave Lithuania knowing a little more about their family’s story than when they arrived.

I created Litvak Shtetls in 2018 as a personal project. Today, it has grown into a place where I share stories from my work, Lithuania’s Jewish heritage, and family roots journeys across the country.
