A New Peace Path Across Europe
With the goal of combating the rise of antisemitism, xenophobia and growing populist trends across Europe, we plan to create a new, permanent Peace Pathway to Auschwitz: the European Peace Walk
The new European Peace Walk will become a symbolic platform focused on educating Youth & Walkers on the terrors of the Holocaust & Europe's tragic past.
After completing their 350kms - 550kms (14 days - 21 days) trans-national pilgrimage, walkers will spend time in Auschwitz-Birkenau learning about the history of the Holocaust.
ConceptTo create an open platform, a meaningful pilgrimage to Auschwitz, to respectively honor the victims of the Holocaust. |
REALITYIt will be a solemn journey of reflection during their 14-21 days' trek, through beautiful European countries. |
REASONTo inform and educate Youth & Walkers on history and strengthen their remembrance of the Holocaust. |
In conjunction with Auschwitz Memorial Museum's International Centre for Education on Auschwitz and the Holocaust, we will enable youth and walkers from across the world to honor the victims of the Holocaust and take on the personal challenge of walking 350-550 kms along the new European Peace Walk.
The Walkers will walk 25-30kms a day, then stop, rest, reflect & sleep. Like the Camino in Spain, after sleeping in a hostel, they will carry on walking the next day, all the way from Berlin or Vienna or Bratislava to Auschwitz, for 14-21 days filled with inclusion, learning and discussion.
