Passing the Torch

Each year on Yom HaShoah, we pause to remember the six million Jewish children, women and men murdered in the Holocaust — and to honor the survivors who carry that memory forward, even to this day.

This year, 7,000 participants from around the globe are joining us in Poland — including 50 Holocaust survivors, Jewish students, educators, and leaders from dozens of countries. They march arm in arm from Auschwitz to Birkenau, in memory of all victims of Nazi genocide and against prejudice, intolerance and hate.

Holocaust education is not only about the past — it is one of our most powerful tools against antisemitism today. When young people walk through Auschwitz beside a survivor and carry that story home, each becomes a witness. Each becomes a voice. Each becomes part of the answer.
