Professor Leiman brought a group to Mir in 1997 as part of a Jewish heritage trip of Eastern Europe (see http://leimanlibrary.com/tape_library.html)
Recordings were made of his descriptions of scenes in Mir and some history of the community. Each is about five minutes long, for a total of 30 minutes.
