The March of the Living is an international, educational program that brings Jewish teens from all over the world to Poland on Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Memorial Day, to march from Auschwitz to Birkenau, and then to Israel to observe Yom Ha’zikaron, Israel Memorial Day, and Yom Ha’atzmaut, Israel Independence Day.

The goals of the March of the Living are both universal (fighting indifference, racism and injustice) and particular (opposing anti-semitism, and strengthening Jewish identity and connection to Israel). Over the years students of diverse backgrounds and cultures have participated in the March of the Living, furthering these ambitious goals .
