In Remembrance, and in Life

March of the Living

Accommodation, Transport and Logistics for March of the Living

March of the Living is one of the most significant Holocaust remembrance events in the world. Each year, thousands of participants – most from the international Jewish community – walk together from Auschwitz I to Auschwitz II-Birkenau on Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, as a shared act of memory and a symbol of life continuing beyond tragedy.

Participation in the march itself is arranged through the International March of the Living organization or your national or community delegation. What we provide is the practical side of your time in Poland: accommodation, local transport, and logistical support during a period when hotels and transport around Krakow and Oświęcim are in exceptionally high demand.

Beyond the march itself, we also help build a wider program for your stay – time to see Krakow, explore its Jewish heritage in Kazimierz, or simply have a well-organized, unhurried few days in Poland around such a significant event.

What We Help With

Attending March of the Living from abroad involves far more than the march itself. Here’s where we can help:

accommodation in Krakow, booked with the March of the Living period specifically in mind, before availability runs short

private transport between your accommodation, Oświęcim and any other sites on your itinerary

logistical coordination around the schedule of march-related events and ceremonies

an additional program in Poland – time in Krakow’s Old Town, Kazimierz or elsewhere – built around your dates

support in navigating a period when the region is at its busiest, without leaving the details to chance

Who Our March of the Living Support Is For

This service is built for anyone traveling to Poland for March of the Living who wants the practical side of the trip handled with care. It’s especially suited to:

individuals or families joining March of the Living independently, without a large organized delegation handling logistics

community or school groups whose delegation covers the march itself, but not local accommodation and transport in Poland

anyone who has found March of the Living difficult to plan for from abroad, given how quickly hotels and transport around Krakow fill up

families wanting to extend their trip with additional time exploring Krakow and its Jewish heritage

What This Offers

the reassurance of Polish-based support from a team that understands the sensitivity of this event

one less thing to plan during an emotionally significant trip

a program that can extend beyond the march itself, if you’d like to see more of Poland while you’re here

a private, flexible service – not a fixed package that doesn’t fit your family’s needs

Pair This With Krakow’s Jewish Heritage

Many guests attending March of the Living choose to spend additional time exploring Krakow’s own Jewish heritage – the synagogues and courtyards of Kazimierz, the former Ghetto in Podgórze, and Schindler’s Factory. Our Krakow city tour covers all of this in a single private day, and pairs naturally with a March of the Living stay.

March of the Living: Frequently Asked Questions

A few practical questions come up often when planning a trip around March of the Living. Here’s what’s worth knowing.

Does booking with you register me for March of the Living?

No – participation in the march itself is arranged separately, through the International March of the Living organization or your national or community delegation. We handle your accommodation, local transport and logistics in Poland, alongside your own registration.

When does March of the Living take place?

The march follows Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, a date that moves each year according to the Hebrew calendar – typically falling in April. Once your dates are confirmed, we’ll plan your stay around them.

Why is it hard to arrange this trip independently?

Thousands of visitors arrive in the Krakow and Oświęcim area for the same narrow window each year, which puts real pressure on hotels and local transport. Planning ahead, with local support, makes a significant difference.

Can you help even if I’m attending with an organized delegation?

Yes. Many delegations cover the march itself but leave accommodation, local transport or extra time in Poland up to individual families – that’s exactly where we can help.

Can I extend my trip with sightseeing in Krakow?

Yes – many guests add time exploring Krakow’s Old Town, Wawel Castle or the Jewish heritage of Kazimierz, either before or after the main event. This can be built into your itinerary alongside the core logistics.
