Yom HaShoah 2020 brings back all those encounters, teachings and experiences gained on the paths of studying and learning about Auschwitz – Birkenau. All those genealogical and historical discoveries which finished in tears of joy or pain. Marching from Auschwitz to Birkenau is my duty. The first International March of the Living for me was in 2000 and then every few years I was marching again and again in various capacities. I can't imagine that after 32 years of the International March of the Living program no one will march today on April 21st, 2020. I decided to be there and keeping to all the sanitary restrictions cover the path in the name of continuity, everlasting education and most importantly memorial tribute to Auschwitz victims. Keeping memory is about keeping its rituals and redefining those in the spirit of historical accuracy and search for the new contemporary meanings. Please be there with me today in thought in spirit or prayer.
