The International March of the Living released a statement saying, “The half a dozen protestors who perversely saw this as an opportunity to voice hatred against Israel and the Jewish people serve as a timely reminder of the importance of Holocaust education and remembrance, and of teaching the dangers of hatred and extremism.“
On Monday, as Jews marked Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, the day commemorating the six million Jews who died in the Holocaust, pro-Hamas activists taunted Jews at the 36 th International March of the Living at the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp in Poland.
