Über uns
Der Marsch des Lebens ist eine Initiative von Jobst und Charlotte Bittner und den evangelisch-freikirchlichen TOS Diensten aus Tübingen in Deutschland. Gemeinsam mit Nachkommen deutscher Wehrmachts-, Polizei- und SS-Angehöriger veranstalten sie Gedenk- und Versöhnungsmärsche an Orten des Holocaust. Seit dem Beginn der Bewegung im Jahr 2007 haben bisher Märsche in 20 Nationen und über 400 Städten und Ortschaften stattgefunden in Zusammenarbeit mit Christen der unterschiedlichsten Kirchen und Denominationen sowie vieler jüdischer Gemeinschaften. In den Jahren 2011 und 2015 wurde der Marsch des Lebens von der israelischen Knesset für sein besonderes Engagement für Holocaustüberlebende ausgezeichnet.
2017 verlieh die Jüdische Gemeinde zu Halle (Saale) dem Verein Marsch des Lebens e.V. den Emil-L.-Fackenheim-Preis für Toleranz und Verständigung.

Dear donor,
Thanks to generous support, a total of 85 euros could be collected in June. Even if this amount seems small at first glance, every donation is a significant contribution to creating valuable encounters and offers of help for Holocaust survivors. June presented us with unprecedented challenges. For a total of 12 days, there was a state of emergency in the country. Everyday life was dominated by the constant threat of rocket fire from Iran, so that public life came to an almost complete standstill. Again and again, everyone had to flee into the bunker to get themselves and others to safety. Uncertainty and fear were omnipresent, spontaneous encounters and planned events had to be cancelled.

During this time, two significant meetings were held with a total of eight Holocaust survivors. Just one day before the start of the state of emergency, it was still possible to organize another, particularly nice meeting. The joy and gratitude of this get-together was palpable: there was laughter, storytelling and celebrating of the present together without forgetting the past. The month of June has shown us how fragile security and everyday life can be. The meetings with Holocaust survivors and their families, which took place before the shelling and are now taking place again, are signs of hope and the will to live.
Every donation, no matter how small it may seem, helps to make such encounters possible.
Thank you very much!
