The 15th March of the Living

About 8 thousand people joined in the 15th March of the Living. There were several hundred Poles among them. In remembrance of the Nazi victims murdered in Auschwitz, they marched from the gate bearing the inscription Arbeit macht frei at Auschwitz I to the Auschwitz II-Birkenau site.

Former Israel prime minister Shimon Peres was one of those taking part. He also toured the main exhibition at the Auschwitz I site. His entry in the Guest Book was laconic: "This will never be repeated."
