Come to Jerusalem to Celebrate Israel’s 70th Birthday!
Many nations will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. (Micah 4:2; NIV)
The March of the Nations plus Conference on May 13 – 15, 2018 will take place on a historic date: the 70th Anniversary of the Founding of the State of Israel. Thousands of Christians from all nations will come to Jerusalem for a special conference. Together with Israelis from all spheres of society, they will walk from the Knesset to Mt. Zion: They honor Holocaust survivors, demonstrate publicly that the nations stand side by side with Israel and say “No!” to anti-Semitism!
Will we see you this year in Jerusalem? – Register now!
Knesset Members welcoming the March of the Nations
The March of Life movement started in Germany in 2007, when descendants of Nazi perpetrators broke the silence about their terrible family history and met with Holocaust survivors and their descendants – the result: healing, friendship and new life! But it did not just stay in Germany: about 40,000 people have taken to the streets in 18 nations and 350 cities with a joint voice for remembrance and reconciliation – against anti-Semitism and for Israel.
Exactly on the 70th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of the State of Israel, from May 13 -15, 2018, we are bringing the March of Life to Jerusalem – come and join representatives of the Israeli government, Israelis from all spheres of society and Christians from every corner of the earth to honor Holocaust survivors and to make a clear statement of solidarity and friendship with Israel – and against modern anti-Semitism.
You can be part of this to show Israel how many nations stand with her!

Statements about the March of Life
I warmly welcome the participants of the March of the Nations in Jerusalem on occasion of the 70th Anniversary of Israel, and I wish this important endeavor much success and all the best..
Nir Barkat, Mayor of Jerusalem, Israel
The initiative “March of Life” is valuable and important. Transforming the former routes of deportations and death marches of the final months of the war into symbolic paths and Marches of Life is a public tribute to the victims and a tangible reminder of the – also public – deportation to certain death. The humble prayer initiative has long since become an international movement, including both eyewitnesses and those born later. I hope this idea will stir many people, and that there will be many “Marches of Life“ both with our feet and in our heads throughout the coming years.
Prof. Dr. Norbert Lammert, Former President of the German Bundestag
As a past participant of the Marches of Life, I experienced an overwhelming connection to Jews around the globe, including bonding with Holocaust survivors and their families. This event is important on many aspects, as it serves to make us remember this painful aspect of our history as a Jewish nation.
I believe this event is beneficial in that it teaches coming generations to be more tolerant and accepting of each other and provide a foundation for a better world to come.
Yoel Hasson, Deputy Speaker of the Knesset, Israel
