55 Holocaust Survivors gather underneath the Arbeit Macht Frei sign at Auschwitz-Birkenau to begin the 2024 International March of the Living on Yom HaShoah
In honor of 2024 Holocaust Survivor Day, International March of the Living salutes our beloved Holocaust survivors around the world for the courage, resilience and faith they exhibited throughout their lifetimes.
After the Shoah, despite their difficult pasts, they rebuilt their lives, planted new seeds, started new families and made countless contributions in communities throughout the world.
We especially want to express gratitude to our over 300 March of the living Holocaust survivor educators, who have joined us on the March of the Living since the inception of the program in 1988. These remarkable individuals have shared their stories of loss and love in the very places their tragic histories unfolded, ensuring that the history and lessons of the Holocaust are never forgotten.
Please see moving clips from this year’s March of the Living ceremony featuring the words of Holocaust survivors shared with students on the 2024 March of the Living ceremony on Yom Hashoah in Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Through their extraordinary efforts, these dedicated and eloquent Holocaust survivor educators have created a new generation of young witnesses committed to bearing the torch of memory and transmitting the memory of the Shoah to the generations to come.
Am Yisrael Chai!
