Miami High School Students Participate in the Leo Martin March of the Living (MOTL)

From bearing witness to the despair of the Holocaust in Poland to joyful celebrations of Independence Day in Israel... That is what 100 Miami high school students are experiencing as part of the Leo Martin March of the Living (MOTL). Created in 1987 by educators and Holocaust survivors in Miami, the program has since expanded to include more than 250,000 youth from all over the world. This year, the students spent Yom HaZikaron (Israel’s Day of Remembrance) in Miami’s partnership city of Yerucham, where they attended a moving ceremony to remember Israel’s fallen soldiers and victims of terror.
