Stage 3 (2019)

37 Individual Curated Vignettes

The March of the Living Holocaust Survivor Vignettes Project features short clips of moving Holocaust survivor testimony shared with students on location in Poland during the March of the Living.

The project was first initiated in 2019 by Toronto March of the Living chair Tammy Glied, and Canadian Israeli filmmaker Igal Hecht has documented numerous Toronto March of the Living journeys over the last 15 years.

The material includes footage filmed and edited by Igal Hecht and Toronto filmmaker Naomi Wise, who has been documenting March of the Living programs since 1998.

This is an ongoing project, with new videos being edited and added each year using archival materials from previous March of the Living trips.

Eli Rubenstein, Director of Education, International March of the Living, continues to oversee the project.
