“After consulting with the relevant health bodies and officials, it is with a heavy heart that we are forced to announce the postponement of this year’s March of the Living in Poland,” said Shmuel Rosenman, world chair of the March of the Living organisation.
“Our primary concern is the health of the many participants and the Holocaust survivors who would be joining them.
“Given that this is an international event involving 110 delegations from around the world, we have a responsibility to take precautionary measures in accordance with the guidelines given by authorities in various countries.”
The group hopes to organise a march to be held later this year instead.
