I think that March of Living is a good thing. There also trips of Jewish young people (mostly those from final year of highschool), but I think that meeting Polish young people and not at death camps (example: at schools) should be added to those trips. Cause most of the young Jews, who come to Poland during such trips later think that all Poles are antisemitic and see Poland only through the prism of death camps, Holocaust and World War II. In Yad Vashem Institute most tree planted for Righteous Among the Nations are for Poles, who were hidding Jews and helping them during the War. Poland was the only Nazi occupied country where for hidding a Jew or helping Jews you could executed (often after tortures). What do you think about that????
