Holocaust survivor to bike from Auschwitz to Krakow

Marcel Zielinski, 80, a Holocaust survivor living in Montreal, will take part in the second edition of Ride For The Living from Auschwitz to Krakow in Poland, after first making the journey in 1945.

Zielinski was a 10-year old Auschwitz prisoner liberated by the Soviet army in January 1945. Together with a group of children, he walked 55 miles from the camp to Krakow, his hometown, to search for his parents. On Friday, he will ride on a bicycle along the same route with his son, daughter-in-law and two granddaughters.
