Arutz Sheva/Israel National News — The Magen David Adom [annual] delegation to Poland included about 50 of the organization’s volunteers and staff from across Israel who set out on a journey through the paths of Jewish history in Poland. During the trip, members of the MDA delegation toured the concentration and extermination camps in Krakow, Auschwitz-Birkenau, Lodz, Chelmno, Majdanek, Treblinka, Warsaw, and more. Also, members of the MDA delegation to Poland visited other graves and monuments in Poland, including the children’s forest in Tarnow where 800 of the city’s orphanage children were murdered.

As every year, members of the Magen David Adom delegation made sure to visit Block 10 in the Auschwitz concentration camp — where Nazi doctors conducted experiments on Jewish male and female prisoners. Dozens of MDA volunteers and employees gathered and held a special ceremony aimed at remembering the atrocities and perpetuating the memory of those who perished.
