They will meet with Montefiore residents and local Holocaust survivors and listen to their harrowing stories of suffering and the strength of hope and survival in one of the darkest times in history. This year the Ohio delegation will walk in honor of their beloved Todd Kay, senior regional director of the Ohio Northern Region of BBYO, who died suddenly in January 2015 at his home in Beachwood at the age of 37. Additionally, The Remembering Project, an oral history video highlighting Holocaust survivor experiences, will be shown. The video was produced by Natalie Bauman of The Digital Mosaic with assistance from high school students and features Montefiore residents, Irene and Marv Weiner and community members. After the video presentation, the student delegation to Poland and Israel will then collect personalized notes from the survivors to place inside the holy walls of the Kotel during their trip to Israel. The March of the Living is an annual educational program that brings students from all over the world to Poland and Israel, in order to study the history of the Holocaust and examine the roots of prejudice, intolerance and hate – and to see the rebuilding of the Jewish nation. The March of the Living itself, a three-kilometer walk from Auschwitz to Birkenau, is a silent tribute to all victims of the Holocaust. From April 13-27, when thousands of Jewish teens from countries around the world will share in a once-in-a-lifetime experience when they march three kilometers from Auschwitz to Birkenau, the largest concentration camp complex built by the Nazis during World War II. We help make this stage of life gentler and easier for residents and their families.
