The International March of the Living will honor six Holocaust survivors during its annual gathering at Auschwitz.
The theme of the organization’s annual gathering on Holocaust Remembrance Day, this year on April 12, is “Lamrot Hakol (Despite it all): Tribute to the Survivor.” The group is seeking nominations of survivors who have demonstrated a “profound impact on the world” to be honored at the event, which includes 10,000 youths from around the world.
The program will highlight survivors of the Nazi period from various professional and social fields to emphasize how the Jewish community has succeeded in rebuilding from the ashes of the Holocaust. An international nominating committee will choose the six survivors whose accomplishments in government, business, religion and culture or academia attained great heights. Nominations can be sent to [email protected]. — jta
