March of the Living 🎗️

6,000,000 Jews were murdered in the Holocaust. Today, thousands of people from around the world will march from Auschwitz to Birkenau alongside Holocaust survivors. But time is running out. Fewer than 200,000 survivors remain. Soon, their stories will depend entirely on us. This Holocaust Remembrance Day, we march so that Never Again means Never Again. Follow the journey. March with us virtually. Wherever you are.

Today marks one year since the devastating terrorist attack outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. Catherine Szkop (29) and Abbie Talmoud (25) survived this horrific attack in which their colleagues Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim were murdered. We were honored to have Catherine and Abbie march with us this year at the International March of the Living alongside Holocaust survivors who survived unimaginable tragedies. During the March, Szkop turned to Holocaust survivor Allan J. Hall, a Polish-born survivor from Miami Beach, for guidance: "I asked him if he had any advice, specifically about survivor's guilt. The first thing he said was, 'When young people come face to face with the reality of death, it's very, very traumatizing. It's unnatural. But I want you to understand that everything you're feeling is normal and valid.'" 🔗Link to the full CNN article in the first comment. May Sarah and Yaron's memory be a blessing.

March of the Living mourns the passing of Abraham (Abe) Foxman. Abraham was an extraordinary Jewish leader and Holocaust survivor who led the ADL for nearly three decades. He accompanied a group of 250 @ADL supporters on the 2005 March of the Living. His voice and legacy will live on through the thousands of lives he touched. May his memory be a blessing.

81 years ago today, a baby was born at the gates of a Nazi concentration camp. That baby is Eva Clarke. Today we celebrate her. Happy Birthday Eva! We are all so lucky to have you.

Statement from Scott Saunders, CEO of International March of the Living, Founder & Chairman of March of the Living UK following the horrific antisemitic attack in London today. A man hunting Jews in the streets of Golders Green is the reality Jewish communities are facing today. Two people were injured in a stabbing attack that appears to have deliberately targeted Jews in one of London’s most visibly Jewish neighborhoods. This follows a surge in threats and attacks against Jewish homes, synagogues, and community spaces across the UK. This is part of a broader pattern unfolding worldwide, with Jews being targeted in the United States, Canada, Australia, and across Europe. Public spaces are becoming points of vulnerability, and visibly Jewish individuals are increasingly at risk. This is what happens when antisemitism is allowed to escalate in plain sight. Jews should not have to hide who they are or change how they live in order to feel safe. Authorities must respond with immediate and visible action — through enforcement, protection, and accountability. The International March of the Living was founded on the principle that “Never Again” is a responsibility. That responsibility applies here and now. We stand with the victims and with the Jewish community in the UK and around the world.

Passover, 1944. In a Nazi labor camp, a teenage prisoner faced a choice that could cost him his life. Irving Eisner had been assigned to work in the camp kitchen, a rare position that gave him access to vegetables and other food. Just before Passover, he learned that there was a very holy Chasidic rabbi in the camp who had decided he was not going to eat bread during Passover. But the rabbi had been assigned to a labor battalion that left the camp every day. Irving knew he was not going to survive if he didn’t eat bread. So Irving approached him. “Rabbi, I don’t know you, you don’t know me, but we both know that for saving a life, you can violate almost any commandment in the Torah. You have to take your daily ration of bread.” The rabbi replied: “I am not going to take any bread on Passover. I have never done that and I never will!” “But this will mean your life!” Irving protested. Still, the rabbi refused. So Irving made a courageous decision. “Rabbi, I’m a young man. I can survive almost anything. I have a very comfortable job in the kitchen. Let’s switch places. “You take my place in the kitchen for a week. It's not going to be difficult. You can get vegetables and other kind of food. I will go for a week in hard labor. I will eat bread on Passover. I will make that decision to save my life, but you go into the kitchen.” The rabbi reluctantly agreed. Years later, Irving would say: “You know, during the Holocaust, as difficult as it was, at any opportunity I could, I tried to help other people. I tried to perform mitzvahs. And perhaps that's why God saved my life.” As Passover approaches, we remember Irving Eisner z”l, and the courage, faith, and compassion that endured even in the darkest of times. May his memory be a blessing.
