They all said they cover it.
We see it.
We report with just one agenda: the truth.
The organizers of the march, which aims to educate about the Holocaust and combat hatred, issued a statement condemning the protest. They emphasized that such actions distort the purpose of the remembrance event and highlighted the necessity of Holocaust education to prevent the spread of extremism and hate.
The protesters, numbering half a dozen, were criticized for their insensitivity in choosing such a significant site and occasion for their demonstration. The International March of the Living reaffirmed its commitment to teaching the lessons of the Holocaust as a means to combat ongoing hatred and intolerance.
