WATCH: From the March of the Living to the Parade of Rebirth
The International March of the Living is an annual educational program, bringing individuals from around the world to Poland and Israel to study the history of the Holocaust and to examine the roots of prejudice, intolerance and hatred, according to its website.
Taking place annually on Yom Hashoah – Holocaust Remembrance Day – The March of the Living itself is a 3-kilometer walk from Auschwitz to Birkenau as a tribute to all victims of the Holocaust, the site explains.
The March, followed by the arrival in the Jewish state for Yom Ha’atzmaut – Israeli Independence Day, is an emotional experience for young Jews like no other. In this video filmed at the Western Wall in Jerusalem, the vocalist sings from Psalm 137:
If I forget you, Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill.
6 May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem
my highest joy.
活着的行军,紧接着来到欣欣向荣的犹太国家,对年轻的犹太人来说,是一种情感体验。
国际生存之旅是一项年度教育计划,根据其网站,该计划将世界各地的人带到波兰和以色列,研究大屠杀的历史,研究偏见、不容忍和仇恨的根源。
该网站解释说,每年都会在Yom Hashoah(大屠杀纪念日)举行,从奥斯威辛到Birkenau的3公里步行路程就是为了向大屠杀的所有受害者致敬。
游行之后,在以色列独立日Yom Ha’Atzmaut抵达犹太州,对年轻的犹太人来说是一种情感体验。在这段在耶路撒冷西墙拍摄的视频中,歌唱家唱的是诗篇137:
如果我忘记你,耶路撒冷,
愿我的右手忘记它的本领。
愿我的舌头贴在上颚
如果我不记得你,
如果我不考虑耶路撒冷
