Approx. 200 people participated, among them orthodox Jews, the Israeli community (Circulo Israelita), Holocaust survivors, as well as various Christian churches. The participants were carrying flags of different countries and there were banners and cars decorated in the colors of the Israeli flag. The March covered a distance of about 4.5 miles, until it finally reached the location of the closing ceremony. Both the survivors of the Holocaust and the participants of the March were deeply touched by the words of Pastor Annette Deutsch, who shared the story of her grandfathers who had been soldiers in the war. At the end, Pastor Lesly Jiménez honored the survivors and the Israeli community. Many people were moved and had tears in their eyes. In closing, Jews and Christians were dancing together in a celebration of life! This March was a powerful statement against all modern anti-Semitism in a country that does not have a good relationship to Israel. ]]> News-tos.info Thu, 25 Apr 2013 16:47:00 +0200 http://www.tos.info/nc/home/single-news/datum/2013/04/11/usa-a-sign-against-increasing-anti-semitic-acts-of-violence/ In the US, Marches of Remembrance were held in 41 cities on April 7 on the occasion of Yom HaShoa, Holocaust memorial day.

Einsatzgruppen who was responsible for killing thousands of Jews in Poland. Also, at the event, Holocaust survivors Lore Oppenheimer and Elly Berkovits Gross will be sharing their personal stories of suffering and survival. Lore Oppenheimer, née Pels, was born in Hannover, Germany. At the age of 15, she and her family were deported to the Jewish ghetto in Riga, Latvia, and the nearby Kaiserwald concentration camp. Out of the 50,000 Jews there, only about 700 survived. After a death march and subsequent liberation by the Russian army in March 1945, Lore left for the U.S., where she married in 1948 and has resided in New York since then. Elly Berkovits Gross was born in Simimleul-Silvaniei, Romania. Taken to the ghetto at the age of 15, she survived Auschwitz-Birkenau and forced labor for Volkswagen at Fallersleben. After the liberation, she returned to her hometown - an orphan. In 1966 she moved to the US. In 1998, after seeing the photo of her mother and brother in Auschwitz on their arrival day of June 2nd, 1944, she made a commitment to remind of the tragedy of the Holocaust. The event is part of the March of Remembrance / March of Life movement. Since 2007, Marches have taken place in over 80 cities in 12 countries with a total of more than 10,000 participants. The March of Remembrance stands for working through the past and as a sign against modern anti-Semitism and for Israel. In November 2011, the March of Remembrance received an award in the Knesset for the exceptional help and support for Holocaust survivors and for Israel. As a special feature of the event, Jobst Bittner will present his new book "Breaking the Veil of Silence", which describes the reason and motivation for the March of Life and March of Remembrance movement.
