The program

A week that stays with you

On the March of the Living you travel with people from all over the world to study the history of the Holocaust and examine the roots of prejudice, intolerance and hate. Every group is accompanied by world-renowned Holocaust scholars.

The highlight is Yom HaShoah, when delegations of all ages walk together from Auschwitz to Birkenau as a tribute to all victims of the Holocaust. Holocaust survivors march with us, and hearing their testimony in the places where it happened stays with participants for the rest of their lives.
