Description

The project “March of the Living” is an annual educational program in which school and university students from throughout the world travel to Poland to study the history of the Holocaust. The march took place on 16 April 2015. On the two days leading up to the march, participants took part in a professionally developed and tried and tested program led by experienced educators and travel guides. It was especially important for the adolescent generation to participate in this ceremony marking the Holocaust Remembrance Day.
