As recent polls show, antisemitism and Jew hatred are on the rise at an alarming rate in Europe and around the world, a fact that remains largely unanswered by politics and society.
In the meantime, experts recognize that antisemitism cannot be overcome by education and repeated commemoration ceremonies alone. For ten years, March of Life has enabled and motivated tens of thousands of people around the world to be an effective voice against antisemitism and Jew hatred through their personal confrontation with the Shoah and by working through their own family histories.
New nations and cities are added every year. We are happy about a dynamic, growing movement - and yet we are only at the beginning. Is there a March of Life in your city?
The 4th Annual March of Life Conference in Tübingen gathers all friends and supporters of the movement worldwide for a time of sharing, new impulses and workshops on the topic "United to be a Light".
• Encounter with Holocaust survivors
• Lectures, workshops, training and consulting
• Reports and impulses from the international March of Life movement
• Special program for organizers of March of Life
Now is the time to take a stand and together to raise our voices in every city and nation to be a light for Jewish life and for Israel.

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.
