The forms of Antisemitism change over time. Since the Hamas attack on October 7, worldwide hatred of Jews has exploded dramatically. The latest manifestation is Antizionism. It does not stop at hatred of the State of Israel, but is directed against Jewish communities and institutions worldwide, regardless of their political stance. When Jews in many countries fear for their safety, hide their identity, and emigrate in large numbers, the question arises: Will we once again stand by and remain silent, as Christians did for generations, right up to the Holocaust? Or will we decide today: For Zion's sake, we must not remain silent!
For 18 years, the March of Life movement has mobilized thousands in over 20 nations annually to confront Antisemitism in their own families and churches and to stand up for Israel and Jewish life. Since 2016, the March of Life Conference has brought together organizers, supporters, and interested parties from many countries to strengthen the global voice for Israel through lectures, training, networking, and prayer.

The Café Mazel Tov in the TOS Community and Conference Center is open during the breaks and offers drinks and small snacks. There are also numerous food options in the vicinity of the venue.
The conference will be held in German. Translation with headsets will be provided in English and Spanish. French and Russian will also be available as needed.
In order to have more time for fellowship, prayer, focused teaching and strategic planning, we will be hosting a special day for March of Life directors and organizers immediately following the conference on Monday, February 16, 2026 from 10am to 5pm.
This day is also open to those who are planning a March of Life in their city/nation.
Irene was born in Poland in 1937 and deported to the Warsaw Ghetto with her family at the age of five. Her father was murdered by the Nazis, and after four years in the ghetto, her mother managed to flee to Paris with Irene. She studied in the US and moved to Israel at the age of 25, where she became the youngest professor at the Hebrew University. She recounts her experiences in her book “I Won Against Hitler.” Irene Shashar spoke before the European Parliament in 2024 on the occasion of the official commemoration of January 27 and in 2020 at the United Nations headquarters in New York.
Giuseppe Gracia is a Swiss writer, journalist, and communications consultant. He is the editor of “Schweizer Monat” and regularly publishes articles in German media such as Focus Online and Welt. As a publicist, he writes for the arts section of the Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) and is the author of numerous books. In his latest book, „Wenn Israel fällt, fällt auch der Westen“ (When Israel Falls, the West Falls Too), he shows why hatred of Jews does not need ideology to survive, how seemingly opposing extreme groups are united, and why the fight against antisemitism is a fight for the soul of the West.
Guy Gilboa-Dalal was one of around 40 Israelis who were kidnapped from the Nova Festival on October 7, 2023, and abducted to Gaza.
At the March of Life Conference in 2025, Ilan and Gal, Guy's father and brother, spoke for the first time in the German city of Tübingen. They told his story and shared their concerns about Guy, who at that point had already been held captive by Hamas for over a year—under conditions they could only speculate about. After 737 days in captivity, Guy was finally released in October 2025 as part of a peace deal. Now the Gilboa-Dalal family is returning to Tübingen – reunited with their son Guy.
Hinweis!
Unfortunately, Guy has had to change his plans and will not be able to attend the conference in Tübingen, as he has important therapy appointments during that time. His complete recovery and rehabilitation are the top priority, and we wish Guy and his family all the best!

The book has been published in 14 languages. In 2007, Jobst Bittner and his wife Charlotte founded March of Life—a commemorative and reconciliation movement against antisemitism. The march takes place annually in over a hundred cities in over 20 countries.

Der Marsch des Lebens ist eine Initiative von Jobst und Charlotte Bittner und den evangelisch-freikirchlichen TOS Diensten aus Tübingen in Deutschland. Gemeinsam mit Nachkommen deutscher Wehrmachts-, Polizei- und SS-Angehöriger veranstalten sie Gedenk- und Versöhnungsmärsche an Orten des Holocaust in Europa und weltweit.
Seit dem Beginn der Bewegung im Jahr 2007 haben bisher Märsche in mehr als 20 Nationen und hunderten Städten und Ortschaften stattgefunden – in Zusammenarbeit mit Christen der unterschiedlichsten Kirchen und Denominationen sowie mit vielen jüdischen Gemeinden.
Der Marsch des Lebens steht für:
Der Marsch des Lebens hat in jedem Land einen eigenen Namen und eine eigene Identität – „March of Remembrance“ in den USA, „Marcha de La Vida” in Lateinamerika oder „Marsz Życia” in Polen -, die Botschaft bleibt immer dieselbe. Es war das gleichgültige Schweigen der Mehrheit, das den Holocaust überhaupt ermöglicht hat. Eine Gleichgültigkeit, die auch heute den Weg für Antisemitismus und Fremdenhass bahnt. Der Marsch des Lebens verbindet die persönliche Aufarbeitung der Geschichte mit einer öffentlichen Stimme gegen heutigen Antisemitismus in Freundschaft mit Israel.
