The first March of the Living since October 7 will feature two events, the march from Auschwitz to Birkenau, and another in Budapest to commemorate the loss of Hungarian Holocaust.
To commemorate the March of the Living UK film premiere of ‘MOTL - Journey of Hope: Retracing the Kindertransport After 85 Years,’ two 100-year-old Holocaust survivors met in London.
This year marks 85 years since the Second World War began, of which the Holocaust was such a tragic and notorious part.
The lives of Diaspora Jews also came to a halt on October 7. They, too, are at war.
Survivors from around the world call out for help in fighting rising antisemitism.
Holocaust survivor Manya Wallenfels said, “I think twice before I wear my Star of David. I am afraid to go to the synagogue."
‘“Never Again” has happened again’.
"We marched in Rome with a heavy heart and great pain for the Jews of Italy who were murdered 80 years ago, and for the people of Israel who were murdered last week in the vicious terror attack."
