Pro-Palestinian demonstrators have sparked outrage after staging a protest near the Auschwitz grounds – as Israelis, including October 7 survivors, marched to honor the victims of the Holocaust.
Sirens blared as protesters showed a banner reading “Stop Genocide” to groups carrying them Israeli flags on the sidelines of the ‘March of the Living’ event, which brings together thousands of people every year to silently celebrate Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Eyewitnesses claimed that demonstrators “chanted” at march participants, with Israelis responding with lines from “Am Israel chai,” a Jewish solidarity song.
Videos of the protest circulated on social media:

In a statement after the event, the International March of the Living later acknowledged the protests that took place.
“We marched today to give a voice to the six million victims of the Nazi industrial genocide of the Jewish people,” it said. “We marched with survivors of Nazi atrocities, as well as survivors of Hamas crimes and families of those still in captivity.
