The International March of the Living is saddened by the passing of Senator John McCain, a staunch advocate for human rights and longtime friend of the State of Israel and the Jewish People. 

“The Senator’s experience as a Prisoner of War sharpened his understanding of the plight of the victim and deepened his compassion for decency and civility. He will be sorely missed in the Halls of Congress and by all of us who knew him”, said Phyllis Greenberg Heideman, President.
