A meaningful March

THE Australian contingent of March of the Living (MOTL) is now enjoying the Israel leg of the program, following a meaningful and moving experience in Poland. This year, the Australian delegation numbers 32 in the student group, and 27 in the adult group — both comprised of participants from across the country.

President of MOTL Australia Cedric Geffen told The AJN that the program has been full of “incredibly thought-provoking, mindful, heartfelt, meaningful and emotional moments for participants”.

A unique element in this year’s program is that the Australian survivor accompanying the group is travelling among three generations of his family. Richard Haber, from Sydney, is joined by his daughter Yvonne and granddaughter Mili. Geffen hailed Haber’s presence as “an utter source of inspiration and a shining example of what resilience and sheer determination can do to change one’s life”.

The group is pictured at the Jewish cemetery in Warsaw.
