The March of the Living held a solemn March of Remembrance in Łódź, Poland, on Aug. 29 to mark 81 years since the liquidation of its ghetto, one of the largest established by Germany during the Holocaust.

Holocaust survivor Leon Weintraub, 99, who was deported from Łódź to Auschwitz as a teenager, joined the mayor, dignitaries and community members in retracing the route from the Jewish cemetery to Radegast Station—the site of the last transport of Jews to Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Weintraub, who went on to survive imprisonment in multiple camps before being liberated, shared his testimony with participants, urging the younger generation to remain vigilant amid rising antisemitism.
