Watch: Revolting Pro-Gaza Activists Protest Outside Auschwitz for ‘March of the Living’ to Honor Victims

As marchers on Monday walked where the fires of the Holocaust burned the fiercest, anti-Israel protesters chanted and waved Palestinian flags.

The “March of the Living” takes place on Holocaust Remembrance Day as marchers walk in silence from the death camp of Auschwitz to nearby Birkenau, where between 2.1 million and 4 million people — most of whom were Jewish — were slaughtered during World War II.

This year, Palestinian protesters blared sirens, waved flags and carried placards reading “Stop genocide,” according to the U.K.’s Daily Mail.

Chants from protesters were answered by pieces of “Am Israel chai,” a Jewish anthem.

“We marched today to give a voice to the six million victims of the Nazis industrial genocide of the Jewish people. We marched with survivors of the Nazi atrocities, as well as survivors of Hamas’ crimes and families of those still held in captivity,” a statement from the International March of the Living said.

“The half a dozen protesters 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,” the statement continued.

Bella Haim, 86, a Holocaust survivor born near Krakow who survived the war in hiding, joined in the march.

Do you support Israel and their right to exist?

“I’m here to show we are alive. We have risen from the Holocaust, and we will rise again from October 7,” she said before the march, according to the Times of Israel.

She said the Holocaust filled her mind when the grandson who was taken hostage on Oct. 7 and later killed left a voicemail.

“He said he could smell houses burning and that sent me right back. The smoke, the smoke of Jewish homes, of whole shtetls burning,” she said.

“I think the comparison is not only legitimate but inevitable,” she said about the parallels between the Holocaust and Oct. 7. “Innocent Jewish families being butchered in a pogrom. How could I not think of the Holocaust?”

Holocaust survivor Judith Tzamir, who was spared death because she was raised by a non-Jewish family during the war, also marched, according to the Associated Press.

“I don’t know if the world will listen, but even for myself, it’s important,” she said. “To remember that there’s still anti-Semitism around, and there are still people who will kill just for religious reasons.”

Rabbi Ari Berman, president of Yeshiva University in New York, led a group of leaders from colleges that were Catholic, Evangelical and historically black, according to ABC.

“The message here is clear. The dangers of allowing hate to go unchecked are real. And we don’t need to get to the cattle cars in order for it to be unconscionable and unacceptable,” he said.

He said college leaders must “call out, and in no uncertain terms, when there is intimidation and hate and anti-Semitism. We’re seeing it on campuses and college campuses, and it needs to have a response.”


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor

The Western Journal
