Thousands of people are taking part in the March of the Living at the Auschwitz death camp in Poland.
This year marks the 35th March of the Living, with a focus on the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and a theme of Holocaust-era heroism.
Attending the 3-kilometer march through the former Nazi camp were dozens of dignitaries and VIPs, including Italian President Sergio Mattarella, Israeli Education Minister Yoav Kisch, Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi David Lau, United States Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides and his predecessor, David Friedman.
