Thousands Join Holocaust Remembrance March at Auschwitz
The Associated Press reports, “Thousands of people assembled Tuesday at the former site of Auschwitz for the March of the Living, a yearly Holocaust remembrance march that falls this year on the eve of the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.” Holocaust survivors were among the participants that made the two-mile trek from the gates of the camp to the gas chambers at Birkenau. The event takes place on Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day each year.
