March of the Living 2027


Help a Student Carry
the Memory Forward

Give a student the opportunity to walk beside Holocaust survivors, strengthen their Jewish identity and return prepared to confront antisemitism.

This is the last generation of young people who will be privileged to march together with Holocaust survivors, hear their testimony firsthand at the site where history happened and carry their stories forward.

Time is running out.

Why This Journey Matters


Embrace the Past to Ensure the Future

March of the Living brings young people to learn the outcome of unchecked antisemitism and all forms of hatred, bear witness to events of the past and their relevance to the present and use this life - altering journey to connect with their own Jewish identity.

Students return engaged, united with peers from around the world, better prepared to stand proudly against antisemitism as they enter the college campus and face the realities of today.

“When you listen to a witness, you become a witness.”

The Impact — In Their Own Words


Survivor Voice

“I marched with students so they could be my mouthpiece when we are no longer here. We don't have much time left.”
Holocaust survivor David Schaecter z"l (1929-2025)
“I have to march again this year with students - it might be my last chance”
Holocaust survivor Nate Leipciger, 98 years old
“Marching with students in those terrible places allows our students to learn and understand, through eye-witness accounts, about our resilience, our strength, and our determination. When they listen to the survivors, they will be ready to accept the responsibility of becoming witnesses themselves. It is the legacy of what we, the survivors, lay on their shoulders.”
Holocaust survivor Eva Kuper

A New Witness

“Listening to my Bubbie and other survivors made me realize that my generation now carries an enormous responsibility to speak up, educate others, and ensure these stories continue to be told.”
Evan, 2026 participant (Canada)
“Standing in the camps was the moment I stopped being a student and I became a witness”
Raquel, 2026 participant (Panama)
“Watching the survivors stand in front of our delegation at the Mass Graves still crying after decades, still showing up on the March year after year for students they had never met, I felt the urgency of what they were asking us to do. It is our obligation to give the world everything we now know.”
Emma, 2026 participant (Canada)
“The march made me feel such immense pride for how far we've come as Jewish people today. I finally felt safe and loved within this community. I finally found my people.”
Lea, 2025 participant (New York)
“The March of The Living has helped me shape my Jewish identity, understand the Jewish international community and realize how important it is to support Israel.”
