Join New England Friends March of the Living as we honor Janet Stein Calm, daughter of a Holocaust survivor and president of the American Association of Jewish Holocaust Survivors, with the Stephan Ross Excellence in Holocaust Education Award. For over 25 years, Janet has been involved in the Holocaust survivors’ community in Boston, but really for her entire life. She is committed to honoring survivors, to learning their histories and ensuring that these eyewitness accounts are part of Holocaust education programs.

This transmission of history is the foundation upon which March of the Living was built. March of the Living brings teens from around the world to Poland and Israel to study the history of the Holocaust, examine the roots of prejudice, intolerance and hatred, and emerge as tomorrow’s leaders for a just and compassionate world.

We are living in tumultuous and unpredictable times. The critical need for our youth to take their place to fight antisemitism is now. The need for the transmission of history from our survivor community is now. Never Again is now.

Proceeds from the event directly support the NEMOTL Teen Trip Scholarship Fund. A portion of the proceeds will also support the Friends of the IDF, which was founded in 1981 by Holocaust survivors.
