The survivors of the massacre of October 7 in Israel marched shoulder shoulder with Thursday survivors of the Holocaust in the old Nazi Auschwitz extermination field in Poland, which commemorates the 80th anniversary of the release of the camp.
New people, including free Hamas hostages, Agam Berger, Ori Megidish and Eli Sharabi, marched approximately two miles to the infamous German extermination field in Birkenau to pay tribute to the six million Jews who killed the duration.
“We have really become a community, all survivors,” said Natalie Sanandaji, or Long Island, who survived the attack of the Nova Music Festival in 2023.
“I can meet so many other survivors and it is a bone that a large part of my healing process can spend time with other people who understand what I went through,” he added.
The international march of the living also attended Israeli President Isaac Herzog and the Polish President Andrzej Doubt.
“On the days when anti -Semitism, raising its ugly head, when there is hatred towards Israel and when the screams rise by the destruction of Israel, we must stay strong and stop their world: never again,” Herzog proclaimed.
The governor of New Jersey, Phil Murphy, was also present with his wife, Tammy, who had relatives who stayed in Poland during the pogroms and the emergence of the Nazi regime.
Murphy said it was important to be on the fly to show his support for Edan Alexander, or Tenafly, who is the American hostage of the last life that remains in the captivity of Hamas.
“We pray for him and his family,” Murphy said. “Please, God, [we hope] It is released soon, “Murphy said.
Danny Danon, Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, said it was his first time in Auschwitz since the war in Gaza, who said he has caused an increase in anti -Semitism throughout the world.
“We always say:” Never again “, and we cannot compare the holocaust with something else, but what we have in Israel on October 7, we realize that we still have to face evil,” Danon said.
“I still have hope. I think most of the world do not know the facts, they are ignorant and we have to educate them,” he added about the peak in anti -Semitism.
Doubt, that he was in Herzog, he said that, together with the performance of the tributes to those who lost their lives, the duration of the holocaust, those who march are also asking for the end of the semitism and the freedom of the 59 hostages that are still under the captivity of Hamas.
“We both express our hope that the war that takes place in the Gaza Strip, which was initiated by the attack of Hamas against Israel, can end, that hostages that are still in Hamas Hands can return home,” he said doubt.
Of the six million estimated Jews, they systematically killed the duration of the Holocaust, as well as millions of other minority groups in Europe occupied by Germans, approximately 1.1 million people died within the Auschwitz extermination field.
