Polish President Andrzej Duda will take part in tomorrow’s March of the Living, an annual Holocaust commemoration at Auschwitz, alongside Holocaust survivors and thousands of others.
A group of refugees who fled Russia’s invasion of Ukraine are among those expected to take part.
“With shadow of war once again hanging over Europe, and Poland hosting millions of refugees from the ongoing war, President Duda’s participation pays tribute to the memory of the victims of the Holocaust and will serve as a clear statement against the dangers of antisemitism, hatred, racism and intolerance,” the organizers of the events say in a press release.
Duda took part in the March of the Living in 2018 alongside Israel’s then-president Reuven Rivlin. However, relations between the countries have been strained odds over Israeli objections to Polish legislation limiting Holocaust restitution, though Jerusalem has moved in recent months to patch up ties with Warsaw.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
