70th Anniversary of Liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau
The latest production of the March of the Living Digital Archives Project -- "Auschwitz-Birkenau: 70 Years After Liberation - A Warning to Future Generations", was screened at a special commemoration ceremony in Ottawa on Parliament Hill that will be attended by key politicians, dignitaries and community representatives including the Honourable Jason Kenney.
In this short film, five Canadian survivors who have accompanied students on the March of the Living reflect on the meaning of the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau and on the educational importance of this anniversary to future generations. Observations from students who joined the survivors on the March of the Living are also included in the film.
