Despite the pouring rain, this year’s March of Life put its motto, “Remembrance means responsibility,” into action: 250 participants marched through Berlin as a visible symbol for Jewish life and against antisemitism.

I extend warm greetings to you—no matter in which country or city you are participating in a March of Life event. Together with tens of thousands of others at March of Life events around the world, you are raising your voices against antisemitism and hatred of Jews. Every single person counts. Thank you very much for coming. Our shared motto this year is: “Remembrance means Responsibility.”

The current situation in the Middle East understandably raises questions about the possibility of holding the March of the Nations, which is scheduled to take place from May 31 to June 3, 2026, in Jerusalem and other cities of Israel. We are in close and ongoing contact with Israeli authorities and have received positive feedback from various municipal governments.
