Register now for March of the Living

 

Calling all Jewish high school students! Registration for March of the Living is now open.

 

Join your peers from all over the world for an experience that will change your life forever. Accompanied by your community’s chaperone, a survivor and a guide, you will join thousands of your peers for the three kilometre “March of the Living” from Auschwitz to Birkenau on Holocaust Remembrance Day, and visit the most powerful Holocaust sites in Poland. Then it’s off to celebrate the miracle of the modern State of Israel, as you tour the country together and experience it from a unique perspective.

 

Past participants often describe March of the Living as one of the most significant experiences of their lives. Nearly 95% of those who went on the March say it has strengthened their Jewish identity. Ninety percent of participants felt that the March had made them more aware of the need to become involved when confronted with anti-Semitism.

 

See what past participants, Survivors and parents have to say about their experiences in these short videos:
