From Holocaust To Independence

Every April, prominent FIDF supporters join IDF officers for an impassioned ten-day trip that takes them through our suffering in Poland during the Holocaust, to our prevailing strength and success in Israel. In Poland, the group visits sites whose stories tell only of sadness, such as the Auschwitz-Birkenau Camps and the Zbylitowska Gora forest, where countless Jews were murdered. But days later, the delegation flies on Israeli Air Force planes to Israel, and breathes the sweet air of freedom and triumph over tragedy. While in Israel, the delegation visits IDF army bases and meets with high-ranking dignitaries, such as the Prime Minister and President of Israel. They mourn Israel's fallen soldiers on Yom Hazikaron and celebrate Israel's liberty on Yom Haatzmaut. Soldiers, survivors, and supporters come together to honor our legacy, making the trip a moving tribute to the Jewish people's power and perseverance.
