OF THE LIVING UK

March of the Living is an extraordinary, unforgettable experience.

On 18 April 2012, thousands of Jewish people will march three kilometers from Auschwitz to Birkenau, the largest concentration camp complex built by the Nazis during World War II. The March commemorates Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. You can be there – along with over 10,000 participants from more than 40 countries.

Prior to the March, you will travel as part of a small group, visiting the concentration camps of Auschwitz-Birkenau, Belzec and Majdanek, as well as historic Jewish sites in Poland.

Then, as one of the Marchers, you will retrace the steps of the March of Death, the actual route which countless numbers of Jewish people were forced to take on their way to the gas chambers at Birkenau. This time, however, there will be a difference. It will be a March of the Living with thousands of Jewish people, like yourself, marching shoulder to shoulder, re-affirming the undying spirit of the Jewish People.

Like previous Marchers, you will find that the trip has a profound impact, giving you a new sense of yourself, and what it means to be Jewish. It will be an experience that will remain with you for a lifetime.

25th Anniversary March:
