Dear Alana (Archie, FJ), We hope that you are having a good time in Israel, after leaving the sadness of your journey in Poland. You have shown great courage and maturity, and we are very proud of what you have gone through. We look forward to you sharing everything with us. We miss you very much and love you very much. Your brothers, Stephen and Maty Getzler

Dear Jacqueline, we read your words today, Independence Day, and follow your and all Marchers' progress with great pride and emotion. Your courage in taking this trip is so inspiring. It's wonderful to see the change from pain and tears to joyous smiles. We love you and miss you and wait anxiously for your return. Love always, Gaye, Jean-Pierre and Carolyn Lefebvre (Toronto)

To all the participants in the March, Your time in Poland and Israel is coming to an end, and we fell that through the photos on the web, we have been there with you in spirit. Make the most of your last Shabbt together and we hope the experiences you have shared will form a strong and lasting bond between you. May you all go home to become teachers, to inform and give over your knowledge to all the rest of your communities, the Jewish and non Jewish alike, so the world will be assured that there can never be another Shoah, and that the world never forgets. Shabbat Shalom, and may you all travel home in safety. Gerald, Minna, Yael and Yoni Johnson (Sydney)

To Jonathan Klein of Toronto and all Marchers, We are travelling vicariously with you. We followed your sad, moving and chilly experience in Poland. Now that you are in Israel, we can see that the sun is shining (some of the time) and there is food to eat that is worthy of being photographed. This is a uniquely Jewish experience for you and the rest of the marchers. We look forward to seeing more photos. We hope that you will tell us all the details, with the photos to prompt your memory. We love you, Mom, Dad, Solomon and Benjamin

Dear Messodie : We just saw the photos and we want to send you all our love and tell you and all the other participants how proud we are of you. Enjoy Israel and come back to us safe and sound. We love you and think of you constantly. Jonathan sends hugs and kisses. Grand-maman and Rene

Dear Daniel, Your experiences in Poland and Israel with the many new friends and old ones too, will remain with you forever. The feelings that you felt, the sites that you saw, the history that you learned, and the friends that you have made should be cherished. Enjoy the last few days in Israel and your weekend in Sfad. It was great hearing your gravelly voice on the phone tonight. Give our love to your aunts, uncles and cousins when they visit you tomorrow. See you at Mirabel on Monday early.... love mom, dad, Elie, Brahm and Sparky. Marla called from St. Thomas and sends her love also.

Lisa Bass and all March of the Living Participants Shabat Shalom to you all. We have participated with you on this unbelievable experience. We are all very proud of you. Have a wonderful and meaningful shabbat. We cant wait for you to come home!!! Lots of love Cecil, Glynis, Jonathan and Anthony Bass

Dear liron sondak (toronto) we were happy to see your picture on the internet and it made us feel so good that you're enjoying the trip in israel. We are glad that you're able to take part in such a memorable opportunity/ We are proud of you! Take lots of pictures and were anxiously awaiting to hear everything you have to tell us. Take care of yourself The Family (Dad, Mom, Ayelet, Ofir and Dana)

Dear Shan, We started this trip by sending you a fax.... Until we found this web site to which we immediately connected to "religiously" every night (and morning at times); so, in addition to faxes and phone calls, we could see you! On the site we found out we could also write you "souvenir messages" and the whole family at large, sent you its love and kisses. Of course, because we are sharing people we also shared this site with your best friends in Montreal and shared it lately with the Israeli chain of friends as well as all your phone numbers at all the hotels you're staying in Israel. This is what WE will remember of YOUR trip and I wanted to share it with you before I forget :-) Patricia ( maman)

Darling Leora and Fellow Marchers, The photos from Poland showed your faces filled with sorrow and awful grief. Now we are thrilled to see your face filled with fun, laughter, celebrating our wonderful (and complex) Israel.

To Jillian Pottel, Mazel Tov to you and all your friends. It has been wonderful to watch you over the last 2 weeks. We are overwhelmed by the pictures and the faces.

Dear Kurz and fellow marchers, You are all living an experience that will never be forgotten, cherish every moment!Turning on the internet day after day and seeing your pictures makes it feel like if I were living this amazing journey with you. Be Strong and I can't wait for you to come home and tell me about it! Love Always Jessica Benabou

Hi Kat, As we've followed this wonderful trip you are a part of through the web, we have noticed that in the few pictures you are on you appear to be in deep thought. Sometimes in sadness, sometimes in awe. We assume that this trip must make you appreciate and realize, a little more if you already do, what it is to be jewish. What you are doing for the kids on this trip is very brave and very strong... As your best friends, we know from experience that your support has always been of great quality and we are certain that the support you are offering these young jews is very appreciated and very good. Being a psycholagist may be a very difficult task, but it certainly does have its perks. Love, Florence & Felli.

Dear Yael, I hope this will get to you before you leave. I have had some trouble with my e-mail server. I just found out that I was able to post messages on here for your viewing, so I wrote one as fast as I could. I wanted to let you know how much I love you and miss you. I Hope you are enjoying your self. Have a safe trip home. Love you lots Paul xoxox
