9th International March of Life Conference
Following the Hamas terror attack on October 7, the worst pogrom against Jews since the Shoah, a worldwide wave of antisemitism broke loose. Hundreds of thousands of people are taking to the streets in many cities around the world with a message of hatred against Israel. In many places, Jews have to hide their identity so as not to put themselves in danger, and they are confronted at every turn by the hatred of Jews that was hidden in the hearts of many people and is now becoming visible.
For 16 years now, the March of Life movement has mobilized thousands of people in over 20 nations year after year to confront antisemitism in their own families and churches, and to take to the streets for Israel and for Jewish life. Will we leave the streets to the enemies of the Jewish people at this time? Will we only blame others for antisemitism? Or will we break the Veil of Silence in many more cities and countries and raise our voices for Israel to be heard far and wide? If we want to stand for "Never again Holocaust", now more than ever is the time!
Every year since 2016, the March of Life conference has gathered organizers, supporters and those interested in the movement from many nations to strengthen the global voice for Israel.
