March of the Living Committee

The March of the Living Committee oversees Miami’s Leo Martin March of the Living program (MOTL).

Open to all Jewish Miami-Dade High School Seniors who live and/or go to school in Miami-Dade County, the Miami MOTL program is an identity-building program that uses Poland and Israel as a platform to study the history of the Holocaust and examine the roots of prejudice, intolerance, and hatred. This identity-building opportunity begins with a six-month journey in Miami culminating in a two-week international experience where teens from Miami-Dade join others from around the world to bear witness to the destruction resulting from the Holocaust in Poland and then travel to Israel to rejoice in the Jewish Homeland. On the program, participants commemorate Yom HaShoah [Holocaust Memorial Day] marching from Auschwitz to Birkenau, they observe Yom HaZikaron [Israel’s Memorial Day] and celebrate Yom Ha’Atzmaut [Israel’s Independence Day] in Israel.
