A Place of Friendship and a Sign of Hope for Holocaust Survivors

What we do
The March of Life House in Caesarea, Israel has been a place of encounter and friendship since 2015 and has become a sign of hope for many Holocaust survivors in Israel. Every week, groups of Holocaust survivors and Israeli students come to visit and meet people from the March of Life movement from Germany and around the world. In this way, one of the survivors' greatest needs is met directly - loneliness and being left alone with the traumas - and the commission of the prophet Isaiah is fulfilled: "Comfort, comfort my people." Often, Holocaust survivors report that they usually don't like to talk about their stories of survival, but at the meetings they begin to tell of their wartime experiences.
The service at the March of Life House is conducted in cooperation with the Israeli organization Helping Hand Coalition.

The donations will be used for the following needs:
Meetings with Holocaust survivors

The total monthly cost for a sum of 36 guests is approximately 1260 EUR.

Operation of the house
The running costs for rent, food, house and garden maintenance etc. are very high in Israel and cannot always be fully covered by the income from regular donations and overnight stays. With your donation you help us to keep the house ready for Holocaust survivors and other guests. Due to the high frequency in the march of life house with up to three groups of visitors per week, it is necessary that furnishings are replaced indoors and outdoors.
