“A Journey For A Lifetime”
Our MISSION
is to educate and challenge participants with two of the most significant events in Jewish history - the Shoah (The Holocaust) and the birth of the State of Israel.
PLEASE SUPPORT US
MARCH OF THE LIVING
The March of the Living itself, a 3-kilometre walk from Auschwitz 1 to Birkenau, is a tribute to all victims of the Holocaust, their memories and their legacies. The March is designed to contrast with the death marches, which began towards the end of World War II and continued virtually up until the Third Reich’s last days.

“It wasn’t just a tragedy in the lives of Jews, this was a tragedy in the whole of
mankind. The world needs to know what atrocities were done in order to prevent them from happening again. It s important for youngsters to go, in order to carry that
knowledge.”

“March of the Living is an investment in your child’s education, in their development, in their understanding of the worst atrocity in human history. It is an investment in being Jewish and knowing our roots and our story. I use the word investment because this program has long lasting benefits. Your children will grow from it and it provides a return that is 10 fold! March of the Living is not expensive, it is priceless. March of the Living is all about quality, not quantity. Invest in your kids. You, and more importantly, they, will never regret it.”

The experience never leaves you, and whilst it may not always impart the strong influence in everybody’s life as it did in mine, it will encourage its participants to be honest, passionate, and empathetic people who strive to demonstrate leadership in their own lives.”
