2 shares The March of the Living begins its main Holocaust Memorial Day virtual event, broadcast online due to COVID-19 restrictions. The “virtual march” is led by President Reuven Rivlin, Holocaust survivors, Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion, Jewish Agency chair Isaac Herzog, KKL chair Avraham Duvdevani, and Rabbi Israel Meir Lau. Thousands of people usually take part in the march on the grounds of the former Auschwitz death camp, which had been run by Nazi Germany, in Poland. This year, participants from across the globe were filmed using innovative 3D technology so they appear to be marching along the traditional route. This week’s march is dedicated to medical professionals who saved the lives of Jews during the Holocaust — often at a personal risk — and linking it to the work of doctors during the current pandemic.
