March of the Living: Jews, Write It Down   The annual March of the Living between the notorious Auschwitz and Birkenau death camps in Poland.

From a participant [Madison Flashenburg] of the March of the Living: . I just returned home on April 25th [2007] from the March of the Living ... . We went through ten weeks of intense classes to sort of prepare us for the camps, even though one can never truly be prepared. . Though I know for every thing I do, there are 100 things I don't, I thought myself to be very informed on the Holocaust. . I still do believe myself to be educated on the Holocaust, but this website really blew my mind. . It is, of course, difficult to read. And I have trouble understanding why I am pushing myself to still view more pictures, read more stories...it brings back so many emotions. To see pictures from Auschwitz, Birkenau, Majdanek, Warsaw, Budapest, Krakow...it's all just so hard. . The painful feelings continue to run strong in my soul, but after the March, I felt such an intense responsibility to educate others, to pass on the stories. I am a witness now... .
