Over the last 5 years, JLGB have had the privilege of sending our leaders on the UK delegation of March of the Living. This year we have been offered 10 highly subsidized places and wanted to let you know straight away so you can put the dates in your diary.

March of the Living is an extraordinary and unforgettable experience. On the 2^nd of May 2019, Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day), thousands of Jewish people from countries all over the world will share a once in a lifetime experience: they will march the three kilometres from Auschwitz to Birkenau, the largest concentration camp complex built by the Nazis during World War II, to commemorate Yom HaShoah. The March is an incredible, historic event and a fantastic opportunity to represent JLGB.

Participation in the March involves attending an education programme which consists of a series of seminars and workshops held in London both before and after the trip. This programme is designed to ensure that you are properly prepared for the trip, and that you are able to gain the maximum benefit from it afterwards.

Vic Palman, participant in March of the Living 2017, says:

“The experience as a whole taught me to be proud of my religion that so many people fought for. I would not change the experience for the world and I cannot recommend this trip enough. Whether you have been to Poland before or not, it was such a positive trip that is different to any other. I felt there were no other intentions involved other than to educate people and ensure they pass it on to the future. It is sad that the amount of first-hand information is decreasing but as long as we continue to be proud of the Jewish religion and keep traditions alive, we can ensure that the past does not repeat itself. May we always remember, and may it never happen again.  נזכור"
