FAQ

WHO is calling for this?

The March of Remembrance is a sister version to the European "March of Life" which began with TOS Church in the city that produced more Nazi war criminals than any other in Germany, Tubingen. It is a statement against all forms of oppression but specifically anti-semitism. It is also an opportunity for people everywhere to break the silence of indifference.

The March of Life has gone across southern Germany to Dachau (2007) through eastern Germany (2008) and Ukraine (2010). It came to the USA as the "March of Remembrance" in 2009 and is held annually on Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) in front of Congress in Washington DC and in cities everywhere who wish to commemorate and remember the lessons of the Holocaust.
