An International Educational ProgramOn May 5th, 2016, thousands of Jews, from countries all around the world, will share in a once in a lifetime experience when they 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 who will be part of this historic event. As a proud Marcher, your experience will be in direct contrast to the tragic fate of hundreds of thousands of Jews and others, who were forced by the Nazis to take part in the infamous death Marches, across vast expanses of European terrain, under the harshest of conditions. This time, however, there will be a difference. It will be a March of the Living, with thousands of Jews, like yourself, marching shoulder to shoulder.

You will participate in a memorial service at one of the gaschambers/crematoria, in Birkenau, which will conclude with thesinging of Hatikvah, reaffirming Am Yisrael Chai – The JewishPeople Live. From Poland, you will fly to Israel to join the entireJewish community in celebrating Yom Ha’atzmaut, Israel’s 68thIndependence Day, on May 12th. You will participate in a week ofunforgettable experiences.

Unforgettable MomentsYom Hashoah and Yom Ha’atzmaut are two of the mostimportant days in modern Jewish times. By taking part in thesespecial events, you will share unforgettable moments in Jewishhistory and bear witness to the undying spirit of the Jewish people. Like those who participated in previous Marches(beginning in 1988), you will return home with a new sense ofyourself, your people and your history. It will be an experience thatwill remain with you for a lifetime.

North America ParticipationApproximately 3,000 Jewish high school students and adults,from every religious and educational background, and every part of North America, will participate. These groups will beaccompanied by educators, survivors, medical professionals,political and community leaders.

World Wide ParticipationThe March of the Living will bring together Jews from over 40 countries and regions around the world including Israel, USA, Canada, Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Panama, South Africa, France, Belgium, United Kingdom, Hungary, Austria, and Poland. Together you will share moments of sadness and joy and create long-lasting bonds.

In IsraelDuring your stay in Israel you will take part in many specialevents organized specifically for participants of the March.You will visit a number of exciting locations and ancientsites, such as Jerusalem, Masada, Tel Aviv, the GolanHeights, the Galilee, the Negev and more. On May 12th,Israel’s 68th Independence Day, all of the groups from around the world will join thousands of Israelis in thisnational celebration.

In PolandYou will visit the concentration camps of Auschwitz-Birkenau, Treblinka and Majdanek. You will also visithistoric Jewish sites in Warsaw (the Ghetto Memorial,Mila 18, the Jewish Cemetery, the restored NozykSynagogue), Cracow (the Jewish Quarter, the RamahSynagogue) and Lublin (the famous Yeshiva). The highlightwill be the March of the Living.

A Study in ContrastsYour stay in Poland and Israel will be a study in contrasts. In Poland you will search for traces of a world that no longerexists. You will discover that, of the hundreds of Jewish schools,synagogues and institutions that once existed in Warsaw beforethe war, sadly, very little remains. The century old Nozyksynagogue (used by the Nazis as a stable during the war) andthe Warsaw Jewish Cemetery – the largest Jewish cemetery inEurope – are among the only reminders of the glorious Jewishlife that once thrived there. Yet, you will also have moments ofhope in Poland as you encounter a resurgence of Jewish culture.You will meet with your Polish peers and witness a blossoming ofnew synagogues, schools, organizations and youth groups. Likemany, you may leave Poland wondering how it was possible forthe destruction of almost an entire generation of Jews to occur –

yet you will pledge to keep their memoryalive. In Israel you will encounter a countrythat is striving valiantly to keep the age-old flame of Jewish nationhood alive. On Yom Hazikaron, Israel’s Memorial Day, you will join together with all of Israel asthey mourn their fallen soldiers and victims of terror and on Yom Ha’atzmaut you will celebrate Israel’s independence along with the entire country. The March of the Living to Poland and Israel will cause you to encounter both the richness and anguish of our past and the hope for our future. This experience will help you understand how important both aspects are to your identity as a Jew living in the 21st century.
