Yom HaShoah/ March of the Living

Today is Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Memorial Day.

Thirty-one years ago today in 1990, I was covering the first full March of the Living. Now an annual program, it was the first time a large contingent of Jews had been back in Poland to visit the Nazi extermination camps of Majdanek, Treblinka, Auschwitz-Birkenau, the former Warsaw Ghetto, and other sites since the end of World War II. Several thousand Jewish youth from around the world participated.

It was a profoundly moving experience.

Remember. 

Never again.














Elie Wiesel
