The March of the Living (Hebrew: מצעד החיים‎, Mits'ad HaKhayim) is an annual educational program that brings students from around the world to Poland, where they explore the remnants of the Holocaust. On Holocaust Memorial Day observed in the Jewish calendar (Yom HaShoah), thousands of participants march silently from Auschwitz to Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp complex built during World War II.
