Dear parents and students,
The March of the Living 2008 will take place on April (2008) to commemorate the Holocaust Day and the creation of the State of Israel. This project aims at congregating teenagers from all over the world in meaningful geographical areas for the Jewish people and for humankind –Poland and Israel- which are related to life, to heroic resistance to extermination, to the fight for dignity, and to the importance of memory in the present and in the future.
The March of the Living is an experience which allows us to remember the meaning of the Holocaust by raising awareness of the atrocities that took place in the 20th century. The idea is to promote a deeper understanding so that events of such magnitude do not repeat again in the history of humanity.
In Israel, all the people take part in the emotive ceremonies of Yom Hazikaron and the celebrations of Yom Haatzmaut, which in 2008 commemorates the 60th anniversary of the creation of the State.
ORT is committed to educating today’s young people so that they can transmit this message to future generations, with the aim preserving the memory of the facts that occurred in the Holocaust.
Those 4th and 5th-year students who are interested in participating in this experience in April 2008 can contact the Jewish Education Department of the school. Telephone number: 4789-6538 // E-mail: rutht@ort.edu.ar. The cost of the trip is U$S 3.200.-
Kind regards and Shalom,
Jewish Education Area
