About us
The March of Life is an initiative by Jobst and Charlotte Bittner and TOS Ministries from Tübingen, Germany. Together with descendants of German Wehrmacht soldiers and members of the SS and police force, they have organized memorial and reconciliation marches at sites of the Holocaust all over Europe. Since the beginning of this movement in 2007, marches were held in 20 nations and in more than 350 cities in cooperation with Christians from different churches and denominations, as well as from many Jewish communities. In 2011 and 2015, the March of Life was honored by the Israeli Knesset for its special efforts on behalf of Holocaust survivors. In 2017, the Jewish Community of Halle in Germany awarded the March of Life movement with the Emil L. Fackenheim Prize for Tolerance and Understanding.
The message of the March of Life stands for:
- Remembering
- Reconciliation
- Taking a stand For Israel and against modern anti-Semitism.

In November 2024, 24 Holocaust survivors visited the March of Life House. The special thing about it was that volunteers from Germany, who took the time to meet Holocaust survivors, were present at all the meetings.
They honestly told the Holocaust survivors about their ancestors' guilt toward the Jewish people in World War II and hearts came together.
Each of the volunteers is actively involved in Marches of Life in Germany and worldwide. The Holocaust survivors showed their appreciation and gratitude for this commitment and talked about the suffering of their ancestors in World War II.
They said that such encounters in the March of Life House give them strength and hope for the future.
Every donation supports this type of meeting. From the donations received, we buy food, for example, and pay for the means of transport.
You too can support a meeting or share the project link with friends and acquaintances.
Thank you very much!
