Under gray skies in 40-degree temperature (5 centigrade), participants in the March of the Living continue their trek through Holocaust sites in Poland. Tours, lectures and memorial services took place in Warsaw, the Treblinka death camp and the Lopuchowo forest, where Nazis eradicated the entire Jewish population of the nearby town of Tykocin.
