Marching Against Antisemitism
Each year on Yom HaShoah we pause to remember the six million Jewish children, women and men murdered in the Holocaust — and to honor the survivors who against all odds carried memory forward, even to this day.
This year, that memory feels more urgent than ever. As we globally face a war against a regime that seeks the destruction of the Jewish People and the State of Israel, we are reminded that the lessons of history are not abstract. This year, almost 7,000 participants from around the globe will join us in Poland, but we are saddened that 1,500 people from Israel — including 60 Holocaust survivors, families of October 7 victims, and former hostages — are unable to join us due to the conditions of the current conflict in the Middle East.
However we are gratified that the 2026 March will be led by some 50 Holocaust survivors from around the world and Israel. The Holocaust survivor delegation is comprised of some 40 Holocaust survivors from the Diaspora and approximately 10 Holocaust survivors from Israel, who are able to join the March at the last minute, despite the ongoing uncertainty and frequent changes to airspace restrictions.
We will not surrender to war, to violence, to Holocaust denial, or to any other dimension of hate.
Holocaust education is not only about the past — it is one of the most powerful tools we have to confront antisemitism today. When March participants walk through Auschwitz, hear survivor testimony, and carry that story home, each becomes a witness. Each becomes a voice. Each becomes part of the answer.
