Pictures from the March of the Living continue to come in and we begin to see the trip come full circle.

Here are photos from two groups, one from Mexico the other from Canada. As they explore the cities of Warsaw and Krakow, they are immersed in perhaps the most tragic time of Jewish history. With the help of survivors who themselves lived in those towns and walked those streets during the period of the Holocaust, the participants gain greater perspective on those tragic times and remind the world that they will never forget
