March of the Living is an international educational program whose mission is to challenge a new generation of Jews with two of the most significant events of Jewish history - the Shoah (The Holocaust) and the birth of the State of Israel. The annual journey to Poland for Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Memorial Day, to march from Auschwitz to Birkenau, ensures that young people today understand the world that was destroyed, learn the lessons of the Holocaust, and to lead the Jewish people into the future vowing “Never Again” with a commitment to the Jewish State. March of the Living International encourages Virtual Citizens™ of Israel for all participants.
