Remembrance
Working through the past and giving a voice to Holocaust survivors and their descendants.
The March of Life is an international movement — and in the United States it has taken deep root. Jobst Bittner, founder of the movement, and our team invite you to remember, to stand with Israel, and to raise your voice against antisemitism.
Three convictions carry everything the March of Life does — in Germany, in the United States, and in every nation the movement has reached.

Get the newsletterFounded in Germany in 2007 and carried into the United States in 2009, the March of Life has grown into an international movement. Descendants of perpetrators and descendants of survivors, Jews and Christians, the last eyewitnesses and a generation born long after — they walk side by side, honoring the victims of the Holocaust, standing with the Jewish people, and speaking out against antisemitism. In 2025 alone, 104 marches took place across 23 nations.
In the United States the movement runs deep. Marches have been held in hundreds of cities in states all across the country — especially in Texas — from the steps of the U.S. Capitol to city streets in New York, Kentucky, Florida and California, mobilizing tens of thousands of people to lift their voices for Israel in public.

At the March of Life, we stand together with those who have suffered, or who still suffer today, from the consequences of the Holocaust and of antisemitic violence in the present. We give them a public voice, in order to break the silence over our families, churches, cities, and nations together with them.
The spirit of reconciliation also expresses itself in close cooperation with Jewish communities and with a wide variety of Christian churches, congregations, and denominations.

I was a child in the Warsaw Ghetto. I survived because of the extraordinary courage of my mother, who carried me through the sewers to save my life. Most of my family did not. The Holocaust left an indelible mark on my life — but it did not take away my faith in humanity.
When I see Christians from many nations walking together — honoring the victims, standing with the Jewish people, and speaking out against antisemitism — I see the triumph of moral courage over silence. They cannot change history, but they are helping to change the future. As survivors become fewer each year, the torch of remembrance is passing into new hands. For me, the March of Life is a journey from darkness to light, from destruction to hope.
I am deeply impressed by the young people in Germany who are choosing to take responsibility and confront their family histories. Doing this publicly requires immense courage.
I truly appreciate the global work of the March of Life, which gives survivors a platform to share their stories and reminds the world that the Holocaust must never happen again. Their active fight against antisemitism is incredibly important to me.
