The March of the Living is a two-week international experience where teens from around the world come together each year and bear witness to the destruction of the Holocaust in Poland and then travel to Israel to rejoice in the Jewish Homeland. The program commemorates Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Memorial Day, marching from Auschwitz to Birkenau and celebrates Yom HaAtzmaut, Israeli Independence Day, in the streets of Jerusalem

Wednesday, April 10 / The Founding of Modern Israel
After arriving in Israel today at 4:30 am, we took a 2 hour drive straight to Masada and then a private beach at the Dead Sea. This was really a interesting way to start our journey here and to transition from the sadness of Poland to the happiness of Israel. Even though I had been to Israel before it is a totally different experience going with your "bus family" and with a group of teens.
