March of the Living

The March of the Living is an annual international event held at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in Poland. It brings together thousands of participants from around the world to honor the victims of the Holocaust and to learn about the dangers of antisemitism and other forms of hate. The event is newsworthy due to rising antisemitism globally, prompting increased participation and focus. Recently, the 2026 March of the Living saw a large turnout, including a delegation of global law enforcement leaders who joined to demonstrate their commitment to combating hate crimes. A Holocaust survivor from Canada also issued an urgent warning about the rise of antisemitism. The March of the Living remains relevant as a powerful symbol of remembrance and a call to action against prejudice and intolerance, particularly in light of contemporary challenges.
