Twelve European ministers will participate in a special conference held on Holocaust Remembrance Day, as part of the 29th March of the Living, an annual educational program which brings students from around the world to Poland, where they explore some of the remnants of the Holocaust.

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, more than ten thousand teenagers from around the world will march silently for three kilometers from Auschwitz to Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp complex built during World War II.
