One became the stage where music was performed and messages were proclaimed, another covered the registration table and two more were the locations where children and adults participated in the Upstander Stones Project.
The March of Remembrance/March of Life Global Day of Action: “Reconciliation, Not Hate” was conceived by the March of Life organization in Germany and people in 70 cities worldwide gathered as we did throughout the day. March of Life founder Jobst Bittner spoke from the event in Germany.
