Holocaust Survivors March in Philadelphia
Children bearing placards with the names of Jewish communities wiped out during World War II led thousands of people in a march Sunday as American survivors of the Holocaust remembered their dead.
The march followed a memorial serivice that opened the inaugural assembly of the American Gathering of Jewish Holocaust Survivors. About 5,000 persons who withstood the horrors of Nazi concentration camps were joined by their children in Philadelphia for the three-day gathering.
The marchers sang and chanted prayers in Hebrew.
