Young Adult March of the Living April 19-May 3, 2020 Young Adult March of the Living The Young Adult March of the Living is a journey to Poland and Israel to learn about the Jewish community that once flourished in Europe, the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the establishment and survival of the State of Israel. The opportunity to travel with Holocaust survivors is limited and Canadian young adults are encouraged to take advantage of this unique experience. About the Trip Program Dates: April 19-May 3, 2020* (dates subject to change by two days) In POLAND: The program includes visits to Polish cities, towns and villages that were once vibrant centers of Jewish life and learning. You will visit the concentration/death camps of Auschwitz- Birkenau, Majdanek, and Treblinka where millions of European Jews were annihilated. Your experience in Poland will be marked by special observances, culminating with the March of the Living itself on Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) – a three-kilometer silent march between Auschwitz and Birkenau with thousands of people from around the world. A one-week Poland-only option is available. In ISRAEL: The program will combine visits exciting places and ancient sites, including Jerusalem, the Galilee and Golan Heights, Tel Aviv, the Negev Desert and more. On Yom Hazikaron (Israel’s Remembrance Day) participants will attend ceremonies honoring Israeli soldiers who sacrificed their lives in defense of their country. The next evening, Yom Ha’aztmaut (Israel’s Independence Day) will include a celebration in honor of the establishment of the State of Israel.

  • Shoah 1 Shoah
    Shoah 1 Shoah [1] (« catastrophe » ,שואה : Le terme Shoah (hébreu désigne l'extermination par l'Allemagne nazie des trois quarts des Juifs de l'Europe occupée[2] , soit les deux tiers de la population juive européenne totale et environ 40 % des Juifs du monde, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale ; ce qui représente entre cinq et six millions de victimes selon les estimations des historiens[3] . Ce génocide des Juifs constituait pour les nazis « la Solution finale à la question juive » (die Endlösung der Judenfrage). Le terme français d’Holocauste est également utilisé et l’a précédé. Le terme « judéocide » est également utilisé par certains pour qualifier la Destruction du ghetto de Varsovie, avril 1943. Shoah. L'extermination des Juifs, cible principale des nazis, fut perpétrée par la faim dans les ghettos de Pologne et d'URSS occupées, par les fusillades massives des unités mobiles de tuerie des Einsatzgruppen sur le front de l'Est (la « Shoah par balles »), au moyen de l'extermination par le travail forcé dans les camps de concentration, dans les « camions à gaz », et dans les chambres à gaz des camps d'extermination. L'horreur de ce « crime de masse »[4] a conduit, après-guerre, à l'élaboration des notions juridiques de « crime contre l'humanité »[5] et de « génocide »[6] , utilisé postérieurement dans d'autres contextes (génocide arménien, génocide des Tutsi, etc.). Une très grave lacune du droit international humanitaire a également été complétée avec l'adoption des Conventions de Genève de 1949, qui protègent la population civile en temps de guerre[7] . L'extermination des Juifs durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale se distingue par son caractère industriel, bureaucratique et systématique qui la rend unique dans l'histoire de l'humanité[8] .

  • Annual Report 2008 Genocide in Which Six Million European Jews Were Exter- Minated
    We, women and men in public life, historians, intellectuals and people from all faiths, have come together to declare that the defence of values of justice and fraternity must overwhelm all obstacles to prevail over intolerance, racism and conflict. We say clearly that the Israelis and the Palestinians have a right to their own state, their own sovereignty and security and that any peace process with such aims must be supported. In the face of ignorance, prejudice and competing memories that we reject, we believe in the power of knowledge and the primacy of History. We there- fore affirm, beyond all political considerations, our deter- mination to defend historical truth, for no peace is built on lies.The Holocaust is a historical fact: the annual rePorT 2008 genocide in which six million European Jews were exter- minated. To deny this crime against humanity is not only an insult to the memory of the victims, but also an insult to the very idea of civilization. Hence, we believe that the teaching of this tragedy concerns all those who have at heart the will to prevent further genocides. The same requirement of truth calls on us to recall the actions of the Righteous in Europe and in the Arab and Muslim world. Together, we declare our common desire to promote a sincere dialogue, open and fraternal. It is in this spirit 10, avenue Percier that we have gathered around the Aladdin Project.

  • The March of the Living Preserving the Memory of the Holocaust
    The March of the Living Preserving the memory of the Holocaust. To teach the moral and ethical response to prejudice, hatred and indifferenc for the benefit of humanity. Established in 1988; is an international two‐week study mission, focusing on Holocaust history and the emergence of the modern Jewish state of Israel. Not just a Holocaust program, but, even more about repairing the world (Tikun Olam.) Provides Jewish teens an intense educational experience beyond textbook readings Addresses how to perpetuate Holocaust learning after the survivors are no longer here to tell their stories Representation from over 47 countries Tour of significant Jewish sites in Poland, primarily those associated with the Holocaust Travel to Israel represents the rebirth and achievements of the Jewish people Observance in Israel on Yom Hazikaron (Israel Memorial Day) by visiting memorials to fallen Israeli soldiers Celebration in Israel with the entire state on Yom Ha’atzmaut (Israel Independence Day) BBYO is the only youth group that has participated on this trip since its beginning. This spring, BBYO teens will again join thousands to retrace the footsteps of their ancestors as they walk the symbolic “March of Death” arm in arm, from Auschwitz to Birkenau, the same path that hundreds of thousands of Jews were forced to take on their way to annihilation. The solemn two‐mile procession occurs on Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, and concludes with a memorial service held in the very confines of the death camp. BBYO also tours cities in Poland that were once vibrant centers of Jewish life and learning, including Warsaw, Cracow and Lublin; and in addition to Auschwitz, they visit the death camps of Treblinka and Majdanek.
