March of the Living draws 7,000 from Auschwitz to Birkenau on Yom HaShoah

On Yom HaShoah, 50 Holocaust survivors aged about 80-98 led 7,000 participants from dozens of countries on the 2026 International March of the Living from Auschwitz to Birkenau. Organizers separately noted that another 50 Israeli survivors who had been scheduled to travel were unable to march because of the conflict in the Middle East.
